In-Person Therapy in the Berkshires
Virtual therapy in Massachusetts
Psychologist in Boston & The Berkshires
As a licensed psychologist providing psychotherapy in Massachusetts, I offer in-person sessions in the Berkshires and secure virtual therapy for clients in Boston, Cambridge, and throughout the Commonwealth.
My practice serves adults seeking depth-oriented, integrative psychotherapy for anxiety, burnout, trauma, life transitions, and complex stress.
In-Person Psychotherapy in the Berkshires
I provide in-person therapy for clients in:
Great Barrington
Lenox
Stockbridge
Pittsfield
Sheffield
Surrounding Berkshire County communities
The Berkshires attract artists, second-home residents, healthcare professionals, educators, and individuals drawn to contemplative and rural environments. In-person therapy offers a steady, grounded setting for reflective work and sustained psychological integration.
Online Therapy for Boston & Greater Massachusetts
For clients in Boston, Cambridge, Brookline, Newton, Northampton, Amherst, and surrounding areas, I offer secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual psychotherapy.
Online therapy allows high-responsibility professionals and academics to access consistent care without sacrificing depth, confidentiality, or continuity.
Integrative Psychotherapy for Anxiety, Burnout & Trauma
Many Massachusetts clients seek therapy for:
Anxiety and chronic stress
Professional burnout
Depression and emotional fatigue
Trauma and attachment wounds
Grief and identity transitions
Chronic illness and stress-related symptoms
My approach integrates:
Psychodynamic and relational psychotherapy
Somatic (mind–body) therapy
Attachment-informed treatment
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) principles
Interpersonal neurobiology
Rather than focusing solely on symptom management, therapy addresses underlying emotional and physiological patterns that contribute to recurring distress.
Psychotherapy for Healthcare & Academic Professionals
Given Massachusetts’ strong medical and academic communities, I frequently work with:
Physicians and healthcare providers
University faculty and administrators
Graduate students and researchers
Executives and mission-driven leaders
Therapy provides space to examine high-performance strain, ethical tension, decision fatigue, and burnout.
A Confidential Process
Psychotherapy is structured, reflective, and collaborative. The aim is meaningful structural change — not temporary symptom suppression.
If you are seeking a psychologist in Boston or the Berkshires who integrates mindfulness, somatic psychology, and evidence-based psychotherapy, I invite you to reach out.
