**I do not have any availability at this time ** I am here to help, you or your child may have been struggling. Anxiety, depression, insecurities or self doubt may be a part of your life or your child’s. You are seeking help because you would like to make your life or your child’s life better.

I am committed to helping individuals connect with their unique and authentic selves. I believe we all deserve to live the best life possible. Engaging in therapy is a pathway to successfully living our best life. I am qualified to help with trauma, grief, mood disorders, personality disorders, family issues and life changes that occur with all of us as we transition and grow.

Connecting with our past and present experiences is an important part to understanding how this has shaped us into who we are today and can help aid in positive growth and change. This is accomplished by taking a wholesome approach to therapeutic techniques. By doing so, it allows integration of different psychotherapy orientations, such as mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, DBT and breathing/breath-work when appropriate, to best support your needs.

I excel in in the implementation of emotion management for the treatment of Depression, Anxiety, and Anger issues. Further, I utilize EMDR and Developmental Needs Meeting Strategies for re-installing a different childhood and resolving associated issues.

Is there a diagnosis for Life? Life can feel very overwhelming for a variety of reasons. Have you found yourself thinking "it would be nice to talk to someone", but have reservations? I have lots of experience working with people who have a variety of stressors and concerns; depression, anxiety, past issues or trauma, relationship struggles or fears, peer or family conflict, parenting struggles etc. Have you lost someone due to substance use or in love with an active user, do you use substances maybe more than you would like? I have expertise in that as well. Come chat with me and lets help you feel better.

Do you want to feel confident in a loving and self-fulfilling relationship? Together, during our session you will learn skills and healthy communication to bridge the gap to strengthen your emotional & physical intimacy. You will learn how to apply relational skills and unearth long-standing behavior patterns that may be holding you back from experiencing a more meaningful life. As a relationship coach, trained by Terrence Real in RLT, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential. While we can't change circumstances from our past, we can look to enhance today's reality to create the life and relationship you deserve.

As of April 2021, I have openings. I feel it is imperative to have full comfort with your therapist and the environment provided. Therefore, I am offering either telehealth or in person appointments. I provide a caring and emphatic approach applying cognitive therapy as well as solution focused therapy. I see children, adolescents, couples, and adults. Please feel free to contact me and discuss if you feel I am the right fit for your specific needs.

NOW ACCPTING TELEHEALTH APPOINTMENTS. I have been a Clinical Psychologist for over thirty years. Living a professional life in service to others is something I value and enjoy. I work with older adolescents,couples, and families. I received an award from Harvard Pilgrim Health Care for Outstanding Service. I feel my greatest assets are my ability to focus on my patient's needs and my ability to be empathic.

The foundation of my work with clients centers around a strong therapeutic relationship. I believe that such a relationship, one that is built on support and trust, allows people to remain open to exploring life long patterns, while promoting motivation to make positive life changes.

NOW OFFERING SECURE ONLINE SESSIONS - convenient treatment in the privacy/comfort of your home or office. Build & Repair Your Relationship - our goal is to save marriages. I believe that marriage is a good thing - a superb tonic for mental health! Getting or staying married reduces symptoms of depression far more than being single or divorced, according to a noted study. We take a brief therapy approach, because no one wants to spend years, or even months in therapy - nor need they. We focus on solutions not problems, on the present not the past.

I am a clinical social worker with over 30 years of post-masters experience as a psychotherapist. While I see clients around a wide variety of issues, I've been particularly interested in anxiety disorders and substance abuse related issues. Early in my career I received extensive training and supervision in psycho-dynamic psychotherapy and this continues to the the foundation of my work with clients. While that still anchors my approach to therapy, over time, I've developed a more eclectic approach incorporating cognitive behavioral treatements, coordination with 12 step mutual help organizations, EMDR for trauma and mindfulness practices.

I am a firm believer in the phrase “it takes a village,” and I have spend the past 15+ years of my career supporting children and families, as one small part of that village. Whether you (or your child) are dealing with past trauma, behavioral challenges, symptoms of anxiety/depression, school related issues, etc. I am DBT certified and I prioritize a person centered, strengths based approach to each session. I also have experience working with youth in the foster care system as well as DCF involvement.

I focus primarily on evaluating children, adolescents and adults through Psychological or Psychoeducational Testing. Testing can I help people to discover their intellectual strengths and weaknesses, learning style, emotional triggers and better ways to deal with stress or confusion. In addition to diagnosing things like ADHD, Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Asperger's, Autism, Mood Disorders and Learning Disabilities (something most school systems are unable to do when testing students who are struggling), I can help kids and adults access the services (e.g., therapeutic, educational, vocational and/or pharmacological) that are most likely to improve the quality of their lives.

** CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS FOR TELEHEATH! Seeking therapy can be a difficult step for most, but is often the first step towards healing and growth. With a specialty in trauma work, I provide a place of support to children, adolescents, adults and couples who are experiencing challenges with relationships, anxiety/depression, boundary formation, and grief. I believe in clients being the experts of their own experiences and offer a safe and supportive environment to explore opportunities for change and to establish new skills to support overall mental health and wellness.

Beginning therapy is a very personal decision. As you begin this important step, finding the right therapist is vital to your healing and growth. I take a compassionate and understanding approach as I work closely with parents, couples, and individuals to provide superior, competent, trauma informed services. I help parents, families, and individuals enjoy life and thrive.

As a licensed mental health counselor and registered art therapist, my work involves the interplay of talk therapy and the use of visual art for expression and reflection. I am dedicated to using creative expression to promote mental health and personal growth. I adapt a person-centered approach, focusing on the unique needs, strengths and potentials of clients to support them in exploring their inner selves and developing healthy strategies to achieve therapeutic goals within the areas of mental health, social-emotional skills and overall well being.

I believe that each of us already has the wisdom to heal and change in the ways we want. My job is to help you believe that, and discover your own unique self. For you to do this requires me to provide a safe environment in which you can develop the trust and courage needed for self awareness to grow. This journey challenges me to be fully present and real. My clients describe me as warm, intuitive and engaged, My approach in psychotherapy is flexible and eclectic, flowing from my own personality and based on attunement to each person's needs and goals.

****As of January 2021, I currently have a waitlist**** Life can be difficult and my goal is to help people with these difficult life situations. Sometimes it can be relationships, parenting, nervousness, depression, or help overcoming a past trauma. I am certified in Sand tray therapy to help process any of these life difficulties, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy to assist with past traumas, and Triple P which is the positive parenting program to assist parents with many issues from sleeping issues in infants to ADHD in elementary school. I also have a therapy dog who has received her American K9 Citizenship award.
