As a licensed psychologist, I provide individual therapy for a range of concerns, including relationship stress, life transitions, depression, anxiety, parentification, and trauma. I work from a stance of openness and sincerity and strive to create a comfortable, collaborative environment in which clients feel understood and supported. My therapeutic style is flexible and tailored to each client’s unique concerns and lived experience. My approach is integrative and draws from psychodynamic theory, emotion-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based practices, sensorimotor psychotherapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am EMDR trained and incorporate EMDR thoughtfully when clinically appropriate. I received my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The George Washington University, completed my APA-approved internship at Harvard Medical School, and fulfilled my postdoctoral fellowship at Tufts University. I have over 18 years of clinical experience working with adults across a range of settings. Previously, I served as Assistant Director of Counseling at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and as a staff psychologist at Tufts University’s Counseling and Mental Health Services in Medford, Massachusetts. I have also worked as a clinician and researcher at UC San Diego Medical Center, including within an Early Psychosis Treatment Center. Having immigrated from Argentina as a child, I am bicultural and bilingual in English and Spanish.

I specialize in life transitions, relationship challenges, and substance misuse. I am dedicated to helping clients work through these challenging times and aligning with their best selves. Together we will process emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that impact your daily life. I will encourage ongoing feedback and challenge you to implement newly developed skills and insight into your everyday life. I have experience working in healthcare, outpatient mental health, and residential treatment. By integrating a psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approach I explore how past experiences impact the present; while highlighting strengths and innate coping skills.

I have been in the field for 10 years working with children, teens, adults and seniors dealing with anxiety, depression, OCD, life transitions, relationship/family conflict, divorce and domestic violence. I view each individual or family as unique and approach therapy in the same way, meeting them where they are at. Therapy can be uncomfortable and so I try to structure each session as a casual conversation to help facilitate a safe space where change and vulnerability are welcome.

My work has centered around supporting adults with issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, and relationships. I believe you are the expert on your life and through this lens, our time together will focus on working collaboratively. Therapy can be challenging and requires vulnerability and courage, however, it leads to growth as a human being in this very complicated world. I work from a holistic perspective and view my clients through the lens of intersectional identities (family/ethnic heritage, culture, race, class, spirituality/religion, age, disability, gender, and sexual orientation) and strongly believe in treating every therapeutic relationship with respect, admiration, and openness. My background and training have explored many dimensions of the human experience and the way we relate to each other and our surroundings. I have worked with adults in the criminal justice system. I integrate several modalities into my therapeutic relationships, including Cognitive Behavioral/Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Existential and Multicultural Therapy, Somatic and Emotion-focused, as well as Strengths-based and Psychodynamic theory. I am a trauma-informed therapist and understand the importance and impact this holds within the therapeutic space. I believe therapy should work towards claiming truth in whatever form it exists. I value the complexities of the human condition and believe in the importance of educating myself on issues outside of my own experience. I am a Spanish-speaking provider and deeply welcome and enjoy working with members of all communities and backgrounds. Change can be an uncomfortable process, and at times quite intimidating. We will strive to work toward your goals while holding space for discomfort and staying mindful within the therapeutic process.

Hello: I am a highly trained therapist with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and 35 years of experience. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship, and in providing a safe, caring and non-judgemental setting where you will feel free to discuss your problems and concerns. My approach to therapy is flexible, sometimes helping people deal with distressing symptoms and problems (e.g. painful breakups, panic attacks, etc.), and other times helping them gain a deeper understanding of their issues and themselves. I work well with people who suffer from depression, anxiety (e.g. panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder) and relationship issues, as well as difficulty with adjustments and transitions.

I am dedicated to fostering growth and healing through a collaborative, Strength-based approach within a safe, non-judgmental environment. I tailor treatment to meet individual's unique needs. Using diverse therapeutic modalities, I work closely with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that honor their experiences and empower them to achieve their goals. I have previous experience in working with chronic illness, anxiety, life transitions including young adults, parental guidance, and work-related issues. I integrate different therapies to support the client's journey toward healing and resilience. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group.

Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth. For my availability, please reach out to Octave’s team by emailing or calling.

Mental health challenges can affect every part of your life, but finding the right support makes a difference. Whether you’re managing ADHD, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or perinatal mood disorders, I provide personalized care to help you regain balance and work toward the life you want. I specialize in ADHD treatment, especially for those who feel they’ve run out of options or been told they’re "impossible to treat." Together, we’ll explore tailored medication options and practical strategies to help you focus, stay organized, and achieve your goals. I also have experience working with students and young adults navigating academic and career transitions and can help you build resilience during times of uncertainty or change. If spirituality or existential questions are important to you, I welcome the opportunity to integrate them into our work. For women experiencing perinatal mood disorders, I provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support to help you through this transformative time in your life. With training from Columbia University and a range of clinical experiences, including intensive psychiatric care, I’ve seen the power of collaborative, patient-centered care. You are the expert in your life, and I’m here to guide and support you with therapy, medication management, or both.

Always the one holding it together for everyone else? Whether you're a high-achieving student crushed under perfectionism, a caregiver supporting a family member through illness, or someone whose relationship with substances has started to worry you — this is a space where your needs finally come first. I specialize in emerging adulthood, social anxiety, caregiver burnout, and substance use. My approach is warm, direct, and genuinely human — no stiff clinical interactions, just an honest partnership focused on helping you release the weight you've been carrying and find your footing again. You don't have to earn your right to feel better or wait for a crisis to reach out. Let's find a path forward that actually feels lighter. *Insurance & Fees* I am in-network with Aetna, UHC, Quest Behavioral Health, and Northwell Direct. For all other major insurance companies, I am an out of network provider. My office provides a superbill for you to submit for reimbursement and we will assist you in verifying your benefits to make the process as seamless as possible.

I provide therapy through WellQor, offering convenient online counseling for college students and young adults throughout New York. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, self-doubt, or life changes, and they're looking for a space where they can be honest about what they're experiencing without fear of judgment. I especially enjoy working with students who are exploring their identity, adjusting to new environments, navigating transitions, or struggling with feelings of sadness, loneliness, or uncertainty. You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply want to better understand yourself, therapy can help you build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, and create a life that feels more aligned with your values and goals. I believe some of the biggest periods of growth happen during times of transition and self-discovery. My goal is to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable showing up as your authentic self, exploring your experiences, and developing tools to support your emotional well-being. WellQor accepts most major insurance plans, making quality mental health care more accessible. I'd be honored to support you as you work toward feeling more confident, balanced, and connected in both college and everyday life.

I help bright, dynamic students deal with the anxiety and overwhelm that can creep up as you're out there doing what you always thought you were supposed to be doing. You work really hard but it's getting harder to hold it all together as you wrestle with the doubts and the stress. Your relationships might be feeling less than happy and fulfilling lately, or you're just plain overwhelmed. On the outside, you look like you have it all together - but that doesn't make you feel OK on the inside. I help people like you learn how to finally feel good about themselves, balance school work and self care, build strong relationships, manage anxiety and stress, and feel less alone and overwhelmed. You're not out of options - in fact, therapy could be the start of a great new chapter in your life.

I help college students, graduate students, and university faculty manage stress, cope with painful emotions, and navigate school, work, and relationships. Higher education offers a huge opportunity for growth and self-discovery, but it also presents unique stressors and challenges. In addition to treating anxiety and depression, I work regularly with issues of perfectionism, peer comparison, academic pressure, and burnout. I also help clients build healthy friendships and partnerships, explore identity issues, adjust to new situations and life phases, and examine possible career directions. I believe that great therapy is tailored to meet clients’ needs and goals, so I integrate a variety of approaches into my work, including insight-oriented methods, mindfulness practices, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Depending on what a client brings to each session, we might work on specific tools to address a current problem, examine the origins of a long-standing pattern, or explore some of life’s biggest questions together. I believe in the inherent resiliency of my clients, and I empower them to tap into their inner strengths and resources. At the foundation of my practice is always the relationship with my clients, which is built on mutual trust and active collaboration. My professional training includes degrees in Psychology (BA, Harvard University), Social Work (MSW, University of Chicago), and Higher Education (EdD, Northeastern University), along with experience in university counseling, academic and career advising, community mental health, and international education. Clients describe me as authentic, attentive, compassionate, and dedicated. While I am not in-network for any insurance providers, many university students have out-of-network benefits that they can use to seek insurance reimbursement for our sessions. I am happy to assist clients in this process. Please visit my website for more information. I am based in Cambridge MA and licensed across MA, NY, DC, and CT.

Welcome! As a clinical psychologist, I help people who are struggling with anxiety, social anxiety, insomnia, low self-esteem, and interpersonal difficulties.

I specialize in treatment for anxiety and OCD. I help people understand and embrace their anxiety instead of constantly worrying about whether things are going to be okay. Together, I can help you tackle the internal judgments, assumptions, and fears that have been keeping you stuck and learn to stay in the moment instead of focusing on the “what-ifs.” Therapy with me will help you to: * Identify, understand and change unhelpful actions and behaviors * Stop avoiding people, places and things so that you can re-engage your life in a meaningful way * Learn and implement practical skills to reduce and manage constant worrying * Develop healthier, more effective ways of coping * Face and overcome your fears * Live a fuller life! Let’s work together to make sure that your anxiety or OCD is no longer an obstacle to moving forward in your life.

~Helping college and graduate students move beyond anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt into clarity, resilience, and deeper self-understanding~ College can look exciting from the outside — but many students find themselves quietly struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt, or a sense that something just isn’t quite right. You might be: Feeling anxious, burned out, or constantly “on edge” Overthinking everything — relationships, decisions, your future Navigating identity, independence, or family pressure Struggling socially or feeling alone even when surrounded by people Dealing with health challenges, stress-related symptoms, or emotional exhaustion Wanting to understand yourself more deeply — not just “cope,” but actually change I work especially well with thoughtful, self-aware college and graduate students who are ready to go beyond surface-level coping and really understand what’s driving their patterns. My approach is integrative and mind-body focused, drawing from: EMDR (for processing past experiences that still impact you) DBT (for emotional regulation and practical tools) Nervous system / mind-body work (understanding anxiety, stress, and physical symptoms) Insight-oriented therapy (helping you make sense of yourself on a deeper level) I aim to create a space that is both warm and real — where you feel understood, but also gently challenged to grow. This work isn’t just about getting through college — it’s about helping you build a foundation for a more grounded, confident, and authentic life.

One of the most important aspects in therapy is for patients to feel heard, respected, and understood. I offer an active and collaborative therapeutic style that allows the opportunity for clients to learn, grow, explore, challenge and live the life they want to be living. Treatment is tailored to fit your needs and goals, drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities such as CBT, Psychodynamic, Family Systems, and Strengths based. With a background working in community mental health, private practice and consulting in public/private school settings, I have more than 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young adults and families. I am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment professional and additionally I have helped patients with a broad range of needs such as anxiety, OCD, depression, ADHD, academic, behavioral and/or relational difficulties.

I have also taught at Boston College Lynch School of Education in the Mental Health Counseling Graduate Program for 3 years.

I strongly believe in the power of therapy, whether you are struggling with your mental wellbeing, or are simply at one of those challenging, confusing, or stressful moments in life that we all experience. I provide therapy to individuals struggling with a wide range of concerns, and I specialize particularly in working with young adults. I invite my clients to use therapy as a safe and attuned space in which to share the thoughts and emotions that are most present for them, and then together we will untangle how these emotions are connected to current concerns, needs, and goals. Some common treatment focuses are life transitions, identity development, work or academic related stress, grief and loss, relationship concerns, anxiety, and depression.
