I’ve been part of the Harvard Medical School system for over a decade, first as a trainee, now as faculty member. I'm trained primarily in psychodynamic therapy, but principles/interventions from other paradigms also inform my work, and I love working with students.

For this reason, the course of therapy is difficult to describe, but I think it only ever works in a context of empathy, respect, an...

I work with adults navigating questions of identity, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, race-based stress, relationship challenges, and that deep sense of “something needs to shift.” As a Black woman, I’m particularly drawn to working with those whose...
