Psychodynamic Therapists in 02809

I have 25+ years working in the field of mental health with children, adolescents, and adults. My wide range of experiences provides me with the knowledge and skills to help people through difficult times in their lives and guide them through the challenges, and sometimes, difficult transitions and adjustments. My job is to provide clients with new skills that empower them to look at their issues from a new perspective and empower them to engage in a change process.

You deserve to be happy, productive and in control of your own decisions and journey. The human condition is one of joys and pleasure but also of uncertainty and challenges. Our goal together will be to learn from the challenges that have confronted you in life and to create a path forward that is meaningful, authentic and directed towards your own goals and aspirations. We will have fun, be creative and share in the optimism of the many possibilities ahead. I have over 25 years of experience as an educator, counselor, trainer and mindfulness coach. I believe in an integrated approach that optimizes mind, body and spirit.

My starting place is that we are all doing the best we can. I model curiosity, empathy & harm reduction, so you can unlearn self-criticism, judgment & punishment, which are not effective tools of change. I am trained first & foremost as a holistic counselor. My underlying orientation is that the body, mind, and spirit are connected. Nervous system dysregulation can keep us from feeling and acting our best. Through the modalities of EMDR, polyvagal theory and IFS, you will calm your nervous system, rewire limiting beliefs and find freedom from the pain of the past. I normalize embracing the vast & wondrous complexity of being human.

You have already taken the first step. Congratulations! Life can get overwhelming. It's difficult to know what to do next, and sometimes just getting out of bed seems like it's too much. This is a journey you are on, and while you might feel stuck, I want to help you find your path. You don't have to live a life that keeps you from experiencing it. My passion is to empower people to improve their lives. Insight can lead to change, but not always in a straight line. Let's take one step at a time, and begin to explore emotions, thoughts and behaviors together.

When we change the way we think, we change the way we live. Perspective is key. I believe counseling is a space to explore the thoughts that hinder success and then transform them! Reshape the way we’ve learned to communicate with ourselves and with others. I am passionate about helping people develop new beliefs about themselves that support their values. What do you value? What are you currently doing that aligns with your values? What’s getting in the way? How do you overcome all of that? We live in a fast-paced society but counseling allows us to slow down, reflect, and figure out how to achieve our goals.

Psychotherapy can be a powerful tool of transformation, and an opportunity to gain a better handle on the sources of suffering in one's life. This process can take many forms, whether it's finding new ways of thinking and responding in the moment, gaining freedom from past influences, deepening self-understanding and self-acceptance, or finding creative and concrete solutions. I honor the depth and complexity of every client's unique personality, and put great care into listening deeply, asking the right questions, and creating a relaxed therapeutic atmosphere characterized by honesty, open-mindedness, and non-judgmental curiosity.

In my 20+ years of experience I have found that therapy works because it offers the time and a safe space to explore our internal world and our relationship with others. Research shows that we can transform negative self beliefs and intrusive feelings by processing childhood trauma. I specialize in body-centered psychotherapies, EMDR and IFS, to achieve this goal. Many diagnoses are missed, such as PTSD and ADHD in adults until they listen to their bodies. Clients will learn that our bodies possess the capacity to be rewired when we heal trauma, and will regain their full lives.
