Expert Psychological Services in Women's Health
As a licensed psychologist with over 15 years of experience in private practice, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals overcome complex emotional, medical, and relational challenges. My practice in Arlington, MA, combines evidence-based therapies with specialized expertise in women's health, sex therapy, and medical hypnosis. With a PhD in Clinical Psychology from McGill University and postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School, I bring a unique blend of academic rigor and compassionate care to my work. My approach emphasizes personalized treatment plans tailored to each client's unique needs, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and hypnotic techniques.Fluent in German, English, and French, I serve a diverse clientele including individuals from the LGBTQ+ community and those navigating cross-cultural experiences. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my extensive research background, teaching roles at Harvard-affiliated institutions, and recognition through national awards. I prioritize creating a safe, collaborative environment where clients can develop practical strategies for lasting change, whether addressing sexual health concerns, perinatal challenges, or chronic pain management.
