Biography
Whether I’m
teaching at Harvard Medical School, seeing clients in my private
practice or writing for newspapers and magazines, I am dedicated
to helping people keep physically, emotionally and mentally fit.
I’m a licensed psychotherapist and
a certified hypnotherapist. I have trained in several
therapeutic approaches, all of which fall under the umbrella of
behavioral medicine or mind-body medicine. Mine is an
integrative approach that combines cognitive-behavioral therapy
and psychodynamic psychotherapy, among other schools of therapy.
I have an appointment with the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical
School. Through the Behavioral Medicine Department at the
Cambridge Health Alliance, a teaching affiliate of Harvard
Medical School, I teach and
supervise professionals and advanced trainees in hypnosis.
I got my BA in English Literature
from Brandeis University; my MSW from Simmons School for Social
Work. I’ve practiced psychotherapy for the last 15 years in a
variety of settings, including state prisons, community mental
health centers, public hospitals and private practice.
Currently, I see clients solely at my Concord, Massachusetts,
private practice.
I’m licensed to practice
psychotherapy in Massachusetts as a licensed independent
clinical social worker (LICSW). I am a member of the National
Association of Social Workers, the Society for Clinical and
Experimental Hypnosis, and the New England Society for Clinical
Hypnosis. As a hypnotherapist, I am certified by the American
Society for Clinical Hypnosis, the major association for
practicing hypnotherapists founded by Milton Erickson.
My writing career predates my
clinical practice. A veteran journalist, I’ve been writing
health and fitness features for newspapers (from The Boston
Globe to The LA Times) and magazines (including
Oprah Magazine, Conde Nast Traveler, Self) for more than two
decades. Through the ‘80s, I wrote a syndicated fitness column,
distributed world-wide by The LA Times Syndicate.
