My Commitment to Patients & their Parents
Mental health care isn’t “one-size-fits-all.”
I provide deeply personalized therapy to meet children’s unique needs.
I work with a limited number of families to ensure unrushed care.
We can meet virtually, or in-person in Cambridge!
Connection
Your child’s healing journey begins with connection. I believe in building collaborative partnerships with my patients, fostering trust that allows us to unlock their innate capacity for healing and growth.
On Your Schedule
I offer virtual, in-person and home visit appointments in the Boston area. And, because I work with a limited number of families, I have flexible appointment and scheduling options.
Support
My approach integrates traditional psychiatric expertise, a range of therapy approaches, and a profound respect for your child’s perspective.
Not all children need medication to become the healthiest version of themselves, although many see lasting benefits.
Direct Messaging
I use a modern patient portal so patients can message me directly, request refills and schedule appointments online.
Custom Care
While working with young patients, I take the time to understand their unique experiences and personality.
I also offer concierge services for patients seeking a closer doctor-patient relationship.
