*** HOW CAN I HELP? As a scientist-practitioner, I blend current research with clinical practice to provide personalized care. I’m here to collaborate with you in creating the life you want. *** PERSONALIZED THERAPY I work with adults across the lifespan, and I specialize in creating individualized treatment plans for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, ADHD, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, intellectual and creative giftedness, relationships, life transitions, reproductive health, lifestyle changes, healthy aging, and complex cases. I have worked extensively with multidisciplinary teams and understand the intersection of medical and mental health issues. I also have expertise in working with older adults and am passionate about supporting age-related concerns and brain health. *** ADULT ADHD ASSESSMENTS As both a clinician and someone who lives with ADHD, I get it and I see you. I wasn’t diagnosed until my 40s and I understand the challenges of untreated ADHD. I use a comprehensive, evidence-based, multi-method assessment process that includes: a clinical interview, developmental history, scientifically validated assessment measures, input from someone close to you, and a medical review to identify conditions that might mimic or contribute to ADHD symptoms. My goal is for your ADHD evaluation to be a positive experience. I typically complete the evaluation in 3–4 sessions and strive to not only provide clarity about your symptoms but also to offer actionable recommendations to help you thrive. *** WHAT TO EXPECT My approach is holistic and personalized. Together, we will create a treatment plan that helps you overcome challenges and achieve your goals without suffering. As a very active therapist, I will roll up my sleeves to support you in your pursuit of health and self-actualization. You can ask me anything, and you can expect my responses to be nonjudgmental, kind, and transparent. I will explain how interventions work, regularly solicit your feedback, and adapt to ensure your needs are met. *** CLINICAL EXPERIENCE Beth Israel Lahey Center for Health Aging (Geriatric outpatient) Beth Israel Lahey BayRidge Hospital (Adult psychiatric inpatient) Cambridge Health Alliance/Harvard Medical School (Primary care behavioral health) VA Bedford (Geriatric outpatient, nursing home, hospice) Tewksbury State Hospital (Medically enhanced adult psychiatric inpatient) Sheppard Pratt Hospital, Baltimore, MD (Adult psychiatric inpatient) *** RESEARCH EXPERIENCE University of Massachusetts Boston (Dementia early detection, cognitive tests, and lifestyle interventions) Johns Hopkins School of Medicine (NIMH Genetics Initiative Alzheimer's Disease) Johns Hopkins School of Medicine (Mood Disorders Center) Sheppard Pratt Hospital, Baltimore, MD (NIH Study on Dissociative Identity Disorder) *** PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE With 20 years of experience in higher education and non-profit sectors, including leadership roles at Harvard University’s Office of the President and Provost and the National Higher Education Recruitment Consortium, I bring a seasoned perspective that enhances my approach to therapy. *** EDUCATION PhD, Counseling Psychology, University of Massachusetts Boston MS, Mental Health Counseling, University of Massachusetts Boston MS, Philanthropy and Media, Suffolk University Sawyer School of Management BA, Psychology, Johns Hopkins University HS Diploma, Governor’s Academy *** PERSONAL I was born and raised in Lynn, MA and attended boarding school on scholarship.
