OPEN TO NEW CLIENTS, INCLUDING COUPLES. In therapy, we can find a home for many longings: the nagging sense that something is missing, the yearning to experience happiness, or the desire to escape the patterns that keep us stuck. We cover up these longings with worries, distractions or addictions. Yet, even as we crave to satisfy our needs, we also fear (and even sabotage) getting what we want: success, love, intimacy, sobriety, or purpose. Therapy is a place to explore these longings and to find what stands in our way.

Belmont, MA 02478
I have been a therapist for 25+ years and work with clients of all ages. I support clients who are coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, life stressors, mood and behavior regulation needs. There are times in life when we don't feel as connected, capable or happy as we would like. I help my clients access their inner resources so they can experience the change they want and get in touch with their most authentic selves. I believe everyone can reclaim their power, heal, grow and thrive.

Northampton, MA 01060
I am a clinical social worker and a psychoanalyst. I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy to individuals who wish to gain insight into themselves and who want to transform painful emotional patterns that block them from living full lives. It has been my experience that people are naturally curious about themselves and given a safe and supportive environment will engage in a process that can lead to change. In our work together you may want to focus on a specific problem in your current life in short term psychodynamic therapy, or you may wish to engage in more exploratory psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I also offer psychoanalysis.

Anxiety Therapists
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
