Therapists in 01003

Psychotherapy can lead to profound changes in feeling more connected to yourself and others and to creating a greater sense of well being. Therapy is a collaborative process built around the foundation of a trusting therapeutic relationship and it is in this context that healing and growth can emerge. Through thoughtful exploration and collaborative insight, I can help you find relief from your symptoms and facilitate resolutions to conflicts and challenges, leading to a greater ability to make the adjustments you want for yourself and your relationships.

I am an LGBTQAI sex educator and a psychotherapist, and I am an AASECT certified sex therapist. I was clinically trained at the Smith School for Social Work and the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society in New York City. I lived in New York City for over a decade and during that time founded the advocacy and education organization, Translate Gender, Inc. I utilize a transfeminist therapeutic approach in working with LGBTQ adolescents, individuals, and families. My interests include working with couples, polyamorous relationships, BDSM relationships, as well as working with those in alternative family structures.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a private practice in Amherst. My style is warm, genuine and collaborative. I work with clients to identify goals for therapy and pathways for reaching those goals. I use an integrative mind-body approach which may include: psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, self compassion, mindfulness, EMDR, and sandplay therapy.

I am a warm and present psychologist who will help you balance acceptance and change. I create a welcoming and collaborative space to explore your challenging emotions and work to accomplish your goals. I believe that meaningful change comes from increased awareness, and I will help you build your awareness toolkit to understand how your emotions, relationships, and past experiences shape your life today. I will invite you to strengthen your mindfulness practice, explore your values, set healthy boundaries, and catch unhelpful thinking patterns. I will tailor therapy to your needs, leading you to a more present and fulfilling life.

I view therapy as a process of deepening awareness of your experience and patterns in order to access greater authenticity and vitality in your life. I serve as a guide in examining your inner world with curiosity and compassion. This exploration—and the intimacy with yourself that emerges—brings with it the capacity to open more fully to life with its ever-changing realities.
