Harvard University Medical School, Cambridge, MA: Clinical Instructor in Psychiatry/Assistant Attending Psychologist. For 30 years I've worked with hundreds of individuals, couples and families wrestling with personal and professional challenges. My clients say they find me warm, non-judgmental, and easy to talk to. I tend to be a more active and engaged therapist.
My style and personality is informal and accessible, yet professional. To stay current with the latest approaches and to provide the best quality help, I regularly pursue continuing education and consultation with expert professionals in the field. I have published articles about stress, pain, aging and attitude change. Our sessions are 45 minutes.
During our initial meeting, we set goals, determine roughly how many sessions might be needed and what type of therapy would be most effective. My hobbies include biking, yoga, and creating stone and rock sculptures. My Therapy Dog, Nelly, certified by Dog B.O.N.E.S., is available for counseling sessions if you would like her there.

Discernment Counselling (DC) helps if you and your partner are considering divorce but aren't completely sure.
It's a chance to slow down and look carefully at your options, particularly if one of you is "leaning out" of the relationship, not sure regular marriage counseling would help, and the other is "leaning in, " interested in rebuilding the marriage.
The goal is not to solve your marital problems but to see if they are solvable.
As a certified DC, I can help you decide whether to try to restore your marriage, move toward divorce, or take time out and decide later.

I am an out-of-network provider for most insurances but if your insurance card says "POS" or "PPO", your plan may reimburse some cost of the session, sometimes 70% - 80%.
Please contact your insurance company to see whether you have out-of-network coverage before we meet at our first session.
Ask whether and how much the insurance company will reimburse for "procedure codes 90791 and 90834 for out-of-network providers".
Please provide 48 hours' notice for cancellations; otherwise, a missed appointment will be billed at the regular session fee.
