Welcome to my practice.
After a decade of working in Boston, MA I am delighted to open a private practice in my hometown of West Hartford, CT.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Connecticut. I received my undergraduate degree from Boston College and my doctorate from the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology. Throughout my career I have worked in a variety of clinical settings including outpatient counseling services at Wellesley College and Harvard University, child/adolescent inpatient, eating disorder and substance abuse day treatment centers. I completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Cambridge Eating Disorder Center in Cambridge, MA leading individual, group and family therapy sessions. For the past five years, I worked at Harvard University's Counseling and Mental Health Services where I enjoyed my roles as Coordinator of Eating Disorder Services, Director of Training and Supervisor of an undergraduate peer counseling group.
In my private practice I enjoy working with a variety of presenting concerns including anxiety, relationship issues, depression, loss, stress and life’s transitions. I have a special interest in how clients manage vulnerability through disordered eating and body image issues. When life becomes overwhelming many turn to controlling food and body as a protective strategy. With compassion and respect, I will help you understand your personal relationship with food. As your insight and self-awareness grow you will make the behavioral changes you desire while incorporating healthier coping skills.
