Assistant Professor, Part-Time, Harvard University Medical School
IFS Therapist in private practice
Having worked in community mental health at the outpatient department of the Cambridge Health Alliance for 18 years as a therapist, supervisor and the associate director of the DBT program, I’ve experienced with a wide variety of mental health challenges, many related to the sequelae of trauma.
I am currently an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and a clinical and program development consultant at Cambridge Health Alliance.
Until January, 2015, I was the Associate Director and Director of Training of DBT at Cambridge Health Alliance.
In addition to being the author of several articles, I am a co-editor or co-author of eight books related to IFS (see Publications)
I co-lead (with Toni Herbine-Blank) workshops for IFS trained therapists on shame and self-compassion, fondly nicknamed Shame Camp by participants.
I have an online private practice.
