As a graduate of Boston College, my professional career in psychology began with a master's and advanced graduate degree in Applied Educational Psychology from Northeastern University.  After years of neuropsychological testing at Tufts Medical Center and working as a school psychologist at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School and Acton-Boxborough Junior High, it became clear that significant psychological growth can take place in a less quantifiable but no less qualitatively meaningful way.   What evoked the most sustained, lasting change in individuals could not be measured using standardized instruments; through careful listening, curious attention to the verbal and nonverbal expressions of feelings, and a powerful therapeutic relationship, symptoms abated and radical shifts occurred in how individuals experienced their lives.  With this understanding I pursued a doctoral degree in clinical psychology from the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology, and deepened the resonance of what I had earlier begun to understand - that meaningful change is the result of a therapeutic process that involves shifting one's gaze inward.  After interning at Riverside Community Care's outpatient and urgent care clinics, and completing a post-doctoral fellowship at Brandeis University, I opened a private practice that offers a space for individuals to embark on a search inside themselves in the comfort of a supportive and compassionate listener.
