Therapists in South Hamilton, MA

I specialize in diagnoses such as depression, adjustment disorders, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, generational trauma, grief, and ADHD among others.

I enjoy working with people open to change and eager to develop patterns of thinking and behaviors that support the life they truly hope for.

I have more than 20 years of experience, specializing in couples therapy, and working with individuals and families. Couples will learn more effective proven communication techniques, how to remove negativity from their relationships, and gain a better understanding of self-defeating behaviors. Couples move toward conscious connection as they come to understand each other better. They have more compassion as their defenses drop, and intimacy grows deeper, both emotionally and sexually.

My personal mission is to show compassion and care to every client/person that I come into contact with. I firmly believe that every person does the best they can with what they have to work with. My respectful approach considers you to be the expert in your own life and offers you the sounding board to come to your own conclusions with empathy and support.

People are often exposed to stressors and or traumatic events that at times can unravel emotions that seem to consume us. During these times it seems hard to find the light at the end of the tunnel.

I assist my clients; school aged children and young adults in finding and changing their negative distortions and identifying their strengths in order to help achieve a peaceful, happy and whole perception of themselves.
