Business Details
Psychotherapy & Mental Health Support in Lexington, MA
With over two decades of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I provide psychotherapy rooted in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration. My practice specializes in supporting adults through life transitions, eating disorder recovery, and emotional well-being while offering professional supervision for clinicians. Drawing from psychodynamic, attachment-based, and evidence-based modalities like CBT and DBT, I create a safe space for clients to explore self-perception, process trauma, and build resilience.My weight-inclusive, HAES-aligned approach to eating disorder treatment emphasizes self-compassion over rigid solutions, and my work with parents addresses identity shifts and family dynamics. As a former clinical training coordinator and senior clinician at a HAES-aligned eating disorder group, I combine extensive experience with ongoing professional affiliations through MEDA, AED, and NASW to ensure high-quality, ethical care.
