Some concerns that bring people to me are their experience of loneliness, depression, and anxiety; feelings of worry, emptiness, and sadness; a search for connection and meaning in relationships and work; life transitions; perfectionism; self-doubt; relationship difficulties; divorce; searching for life direction and a sense of purpose; loss and grief; and exploration of identity. I work with people through collaborative, interactive conversation to help them gain insight, to develop strategies to approach their life challenges, and to feel known and understood. People describe me as empathic, genuine, and with a sense of humor.

"Today is the first day of the rest of your life." We can work together to help you to reach your goals and live life more fulfilled. I will help you build a 'tool kit' of coping strategies that you can draw from. I have worked with individuals and couples for 20 years. I take an active approach to help my clients find solutions and reach their goals. I use many different types of therapy depending upon the issue. Together we can set goals and track progess to make sure you are satisfied.

When searching for a therapist, either for yourself or for your child, the process can be confusing and frustrating. Finding the right person may be challenging, but it will be worth the effort to find someone you are comfortable with. Ideally therapy will allow you to tell your story and get to the heart of the problems you have been facing. You will be able to build on the knowledge and strengths you already have and ultimately gain the perspective to move through your challenges.

I am an experienced, caring and active therapist committed to helping people move towards change. Creating a trusting and safe relationship is a crucial first step and I aim to develop a comfortable and positive rapport. I have a lot of skills and effective approaches and will create an individualized treatment plan to best address your issues. I work with adults and teenagers with a variety of problems. Some of my work is short-term, targeting specific symptoms such as headaches or anxiety. Other clients benefit from more on-going exploration to address such problems as relationship difficulties or self-esteem issues.

To be a person is to have problems. Crisis and change are a constant. We all need support to meet our goals and connect to our vitality and choose happiness. I am a Bilingual (Spanish/English) Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience in the treatment of adults with mood disorders, relationship problems, family and work related issues. In treatment, I use talk therapy and body techniques to engage your energy and wisdom.

Welcome! As a former Brigham and Women's Social Worker/Therapist I have years of experience helping couples and individuals overcome negative patterns so they can experience more joy and satisfaction in their lives. Whether it be a role change like becoming a new parent or a tough work, family or life transition I can work with you to identify and work through challenges so you can feel happier and more fulfilled in your life and relationships. I offer an active, warm, and non judgmental approach. NO APPTS AFTER 4PM.

Unfortunately my practice is often full. I use a warm and collaborative approach, and two decades of clinical experience, I have helped hundreds of adults get relief from a variety of concerns. I am especially helpful in areas of life transitions, anxiety, trauma, and loss. I will actively engage with you to understand the challenge and craft an approach just for you. In the past few years, I have integrated neurofeedback into my practice, and integrate it with my expertise in several therapies that help resolve even longstanding difficulties. My experience has shown that healing and change truly are possible!

My first priority as your therapist is to provide an environment in which you can speak freely about your concerns while I listen and reflect back to you in a non-judgemental and compassionate way. You may need new coping skills, new perspectives or a way to heal beyond old difficulties that remain unresolved. I will help you clarify what your intentions are and help you to be more compassionate with yourself during the process. One of the goals is to be more content and more at peace with yourself and in your relationships with others.

I have been a licensed psychotherapist for twenty plus years. In the past ten years, I have been certified in Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR, and use Comprehensive Resource Model, Internal Family Systems, Energy Medicine, and Emotional Freedom Technique. Integrating these modalities has been life changing for my clients when healing from trauma, depression, and anxiety. We all have experiences in our past that have created coping mechanisms that can now prevent us from having the relationships, success, joy and happiness that we are meant to experience.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** I believe that there is no "single" treatment that works best for everyone. I have found that the most effective therapy is when it is tailored to the unique needs of each client. We will spend time becoming acquainted with one another and arriving at a shared understanding of your treatment goals. My practice focuses on creating space in which transformation is possible and old patterns can shift into something that allows for growth and possibility. We will work on the issues that you bring to the table, and together, we will carve out a road map that will help lead you to a more authentic self.

*Please note that I am not currently taking new clients.* It is never too early or late in life to seek growth and find healthier ways to manage life's struggles. Whether you are experiencing a life transition or would like support for a long-standing concern, I will partner with you in working towards your goals, and developing new ways of thinking and living with emotions. I see adolescents and adults with a wide-range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, perinatal mental health, and major life transitions. My particular specializations are dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders, trauma, and mood disorders.

Hello and welcome. It is never easy making the choice to begin therapy. Confiding in someone you don't know takes a lot of courage. With so many professionals out there, it can feel daunting and overwhelming to try and find the right person. A person you feel comfortable with, a place where you feel respected, a space of trust and safety. When I meet with a new client, my priority is to make sure you feel safe, respected, and heard. By working together, you will realize you are not alone.

Psychotherapy involves a commitment and 'fit' between therapist and client. Respect for the individual, creating an atmosphere of easy communication, focusing on the presenting issue(s), and a problem-solving approach are all elements that I particularly value and work to create and maintain. At the present time, early 2021, I am not taking new patients. That may change later in 2021.

I provide Educational Counseling and Psychotherapy for people who experience the world in a unique way and those who love them. I specialize in working with gifted people including the divergent thinkers, creative thinkers, highly gifted, profoundly gifted, twice exceptional and prodigies. I work with adults and children, families and schools. I consult to schools, colleges and homeschoolers to create educational plans that address the needs of asynchronous learners and address the normal, healthy psychological development of those people who are many ages at one time.

I am a Trauma and EMDR specialist/consultant and Mindfulness-based therapist, who will help identify past/current distress, Anxiety & Trauma using EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Internal Family Systems. My focus is to help change thinking patterns and unhealthy coping techniques based on current research in Neuroscience, Positive Neuroplasticity, DBT and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. This helps clients with PTSD, High Anxiety, Phobia, Grief, Depression or Impulsivity. My goal is to increase mindfulness in thought and action, to effectively increase Emotional Regulation, Distress Tolerance & better Communication.

~ NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS ~ I feel extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to work with so many wonderful individuals and families, and for them to trust me with the sensitive details of their lives!  My practice is designed to provide a warm, non-judgmental environment to safely explore unhelpful thoughts, feelings & behaviors which are getting in your way, and more importantly, focusing on strengths and positive traits which are the foundation for change.

In my work as a therapist, my first priority is to establish a comfortable, respectful working relationship that will allow my clients to begin to focus on the often difficult, painful and complex feelings, issues and situations that have brought them to counseling. My role is to listen carefully and thoughtfully, and to help guide and facilitate discussions that will help my clients to grow and change in beneficial ways, to resolve important conflicts and issues, and to reduce the severity of symptoms such as anxiety, depressed mood and difficulty managing anger.

I work with my clients to create a safe and collaborative environment where they feel listened to and supported. My approach is solution oriented and client centered with a focus on helping individuals and families set effective boundaries, learn helpful skills and implement healthy changes to move towards their goals. I've received specialized training in a variety of therapeutic models and will work with my clients to determine the best course of action and treatment plan that is right for them.

I enjoy working with adults and teens looking to clarify goals, work more effectively with challenging emotions, and, using Mary Oliver's eloquent words, help them answer the question "what do you plan to do with your one wild and precious life." I use strength-based approaches to help clients set and achieve goals and boost happiness. Having experience as a school-based therapist and as a parent, I am helpful as a parent coach/mentor/therapist and enjoy working with teens regarding school-related challenges.
