Quality of life and emotional well being are built one intentional decision at a time. Therapy helps us become more informed about our wants, needs, hopes and dreams to help us build our best life and successfully handle our inevitable challenges. I offer psychotherapy to children, teens, adults, couples and families using a systemic, eclectic, strength-based approach that is collaborative and respectful. We all grow best in conditions of emotional safety and support. I work with people to find positive and empowering strategies to solve problems.

The Art of Recovery is about drawing on one's own courage, sparking one's own natural curiosity and creativity, igniting personal passion, rediscovering enthusiasm, and ultimately living beyond recovery.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Massachusetts. I have a background in the sciences (medical research), and changed careers 5 years ago, to help people on a more personal level. I use my knowledge of physical health to help people who struggle with chronic illness, and/or pain. I also have experience working with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, panic, social anxiety, and trauma.

Dr. J supports folks coping with changes and the complexity of identity development in the context of anxiety, life's transitions, grief/loss and/or chronic illness. Licensed in MA and CA. Accepting new clients.

We really know deep inside what we want in our lives, but have never been taught how to find that part of us, or honor it. Our fears and unhappiness come from feeling stuck and alone, having no options. My work is to reassure you that you're not alone, and to give you the guidance and knowledge that you need to face your challenges, and make satisfying life choices. Whether experiencing unexpected life change, leaving relationship, or living your authentic self, I help you find your inner strength and courage, and provide the tools to take the next step.

I have been in practice for 33 years helping people who are going through periods of transition, coping with loss, confronting self defeating behaviors and wanting to make changes in their lives.

My practice is currently full. If you reach out to me I can add you to a wait list. I am a client centered therapist that embraces a holistic view of working with individuals and families and the issues that affect them. Much of my experience is focused on treating children, adolescence and their families with challenging mental health, behavioral and social issues. I have worked with a wide range of concerns in multiple settings. I have experience both personally and professionally with diverse populations, creating a safe and judgement free environment.

I provide support and education for individuals during moments of challenge or need. I believe we all benefit from having a neutral person to assist us with working towards our goals. We all can benefit from connection, compassion and understanding. I have worked with families and individuals utilizing evidence based client centered therapeutic supports for a number of years, incorporating treatment modalities that are tailored to meet individual needs. My therapeutic style often focuses on time specific goals with treatment options which support success as defined by the client.

My practice stems from a warm, kind, empathetic approach. I practice with a strength based perspective with individual attunement and collaboration, starting where the client is. I work with adolescence, adults and families. My experience in the field is extensive, working at Gosnold with clients in recovery, with families in Crisis at MSPCC, with students as a High School Social Worker, and with adults who are experiencing life challenges. I am very proud of the work I do and am honored to share in the experiences and stories of others.
