Eclectic Therapists in 01921

I am a seasoned clinician with an eclectic, positive and holistic approach. My focus is on people's strengths and resiliency. We will work together in a team approach to help you meet your goals. Comments I have heard consistently through the years are that people find me kind , compassionate and direct and that I provide a calming, comfortable and safe environment. One 8th grader told me recently she liked coming to see me because she learned so many new interesting things here.

I enjoy working with adults from all diverse backgrounds. In individual sessions I help those presenting with depression, anxiety, OCD, personality disorders, trauma, substance abuse, ADHD/ADD, issues with sexuality, LGBTQ, grief and loss, parenting issues, women's issues, and challenges involving interpersonal relationships.

Openness, resilience and courage are possible at all stages of life. Intuitively, we know that there is a place of stillness and strength at the center. Therapy is a mind, body, and philosophical/spiritual journey to the authentic self. It is an adventure that requires effort and brings indestructible peace.

I have been in the mental health field for over 30 years practicing in a variety of settings. My current interests have evolved after years of working with adolescent females and adult women, followed by years of working with troubled families where I became aware of the prevalence of and impact from various kinds of trauma. Depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relational issues and living with and healing from trauma are areas of my expertise.

Hello and welcome. Collaborative therapies approach the therapeutic process from a place of open-minded curiosity. These methods are powerful techniques that explore alternatives to conventional treatment; working side by side we overcome the barriers that keep a person stuck. As a practitioner my intention is to facilitate a setting that empowers individuals and families in promoting healing and finding new meaning in life. This setting allows for deep exploration that can bring balance and integration to your physical, mental, emotional and transcendent selves. It is holistic health as an outlook to creating health and wellness.

I am deeply curious about human relationships; the conditions that make them mutually satisfying and joyful as well as how they can go wrong leaving people feeling in pain, lonely or unworthy. My practice consists of couples and adults whose relationships with themselves and/or others are in disrepair. We all have many relationships. Yet, the more personal and intimate they are, the more distressing and challenging they can be at one time or another. I encourage individuals and couples looking to discover greater relational joy and willing to look both inward and outward for more satisfying life solutions to contact me.

I enjoy helping people work on achieving a balance between self acceptance and striving to incorporate positive changes into their lives. I provide individual therapy for adults and adolescents who are feeling overwhelmed with life, looking to develop more effective coping skills or trying to change negative thought patterns. I work with parents of young children who need support during the challenging early years. I also enjoy working with college students and young adults who are dealing with interpersonal dynamics or changes in their lives and need support during this time.

Beginning counseling or job coaching is an important life decision and a clear sign of one’s underlying health and resiliency. I find, more often than not, that people can be helped to release a level of optimism and resiliency that leads them to new, “do-able” goals and choices. All of this reflects a natural foundation of health, even when we experience such common challenges as depression, conflicts at work, fears, ongoing stress or anxiety. Counseling requires some risk-taking. It also takes a willingness to become more self-aware.
