Experience
Please see Education above. From 2006 until 2010, I worked as a Group Co-Coordinator and as an Individual Therapist at the Brookline Community Mental Health Center in Brookline, Massachusetts.
I helped the clinic build up their DBT group psychotherapy program, and also worked with individual clients struggling with a variety of mental health concerns ranging from depression and anxiety to chronic PTSD.
In 2007 I started my Private Practice in Cambridge Massachusetts, and worked there until I moved to Germany in 2016. In my practice I also worked with clients presenting with a variety of clinical concerns, including- depression, anxiety, attachment related disorders, addiction, and chronic PTSD.
Since January 2017, I have had my Private Practice in Heidelberg, Germany with a similar clinical focus as described above.
My clinical approach is primarily integrative drawing on a variety of techniques including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and insight oriented approaches. In addition recently I have been learning more about IFS therapy, and Sensorimotor therapy approaches to work with clients who struggle with PTSD.
