Hi there, my name’s Ephraim and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience. My specialties consist of relationships, men’s issues, career counseling, and psychosomatic illnesses.

Whether it's individuals or couples, I'm happy to get to work with whomever comes my way. I do my best to facilitate a warm, trusting environment. I received my Bachelors degree in Child Psychology, working initially with the adolescent population before transitioning over to adults. I then received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. Looking forward to meeting with you soon!

I work with adults facing a range of diagnoses, life challenges, and difficult transitions. As a clinician, I believe the therapeutic process is the invisible string that connects what we struggle with now, to the meaningful changes we want and need.

Reaching out for therapy can be overwhelming-whether you’re new to the process or returning. I welcome you to a safe and supportive space to share your burdens, and help you make sense of what you’re going through.

I've been practicing for over a decade. I received my Master of Science, and Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in Mental Health Counseling from Suffolk University, in Boston, MA. I was also awarded an Outstanding Graduate Student Award recognizing several different criteria, including clinical competence, and development of professional identity.

I have worked with children, young adults, adults, and seniors as an outreach clinician, and in outpatient settings.

I also have experience with adults in MMT settings, and substance abuse counseling.

Most recently, I have shifted my focus to working with adults only (18+).
