I’m a board-certified clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst, and consultant to executives and organizations.

I’m passionate about empowering others and have a deep interest in the psychological realities of leadership, including how demanding it is and how little space we have to reflect on its richness and complexity.

My background includes clinical training and leadership experience at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School and the Austen Riggs Center, where I serve as the Associate Director of an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) providing depth-oriented treatment to under-resourced and under-served young adults. I also lead the program’s measurement-based care (MBC) initiative, using empirical data to enhance clinical outcomes and improve the quality of our care.

Earlier in my career, I was a recording artist and touring musician with the band Wild Light. The experience of building something from scratch, performing under pressure, and managing intense, creative relationships shaped my understanding of why collaborations succeed and how to persevere when the odds are against you.

My original, peer-reviewed research has won awards from the American Psychological Association’s Division 29 (Society for the Advancement of Psychotherapy) and the Society for Personality Assessment (SPA). I’ve also served as an expert witness in civil and criminal cases involving posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
