Therapists in North Amherst, MA

I work with individuals, couples and families looking for understanding, safety and connection in their lives. Whether the difficulty and pain you experience comes from trauma, neglect, abandonment or relationship conflict I believe you have the capacity and right to heal, feel good and live a good life; and that you can! I've worked with people recovering from childhood neglect, sexual and emotional abuse and the lack of connection that comes from preoccupied, distant, disconnected and or self absorbed parents. I'm constantly amazed at the power of this work.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and former Yale University faculty member. I have almost 20 years of experience working with a variety of ages: children and families, adolescents, adults and couples. I believe that my clients are the experts on their own lives and that my role as a therapist is to facilitate and empower personal growth. In therapy sessions I combine active listening and empathy with teaching clients new skills they can use to better regulate their emotions and change their behavior. I also help clients to develop greater self-awareness and insight so they can better understand themselves.

Life can be extraordinarily challenging and finding a therapist that "fits" can be intimidating. I enjoy working with diverse clients from varied backgrounds. My passion is working with motivated clients to address trauma, anxiety, and various life transitions. I also enjoy working with teenagers navigating the road to adulthood. My role as a therapist is to nurture the innate healing process by teaching the needed skills and utilizing tailored interventions so clients may achieve goals related to improved emotional coping, satisfying relationships, and better quality of life.

What is your preferred future? Have you allowed yourself to consider your best hopes and believe that your life can be different? Therapy is an opportunity for you to create and realize your preferred future. There is no one size fits all approach as all individuals have their own specific wants, needs, strengths and barriers. I strive to ensure focus on YOUR specific wants and needs and instill confidence in your capacity to meet them.

We all have wounds to heal. Trauma is universal and each person has their own unique journey of healing and reintegration. Having learned this universal truth, I have chosen empathy, openness, and heart-centered care as key elements of my approach as a therapist and life coach.

Are there times when you feel anxious, sad, or uncertain? Do you have difficulty coping with your stressors and find that you often push or run away from unwanted thoughts and feelings? You have taken the brave first step to search for a clinician who may fit your needs. Clients who come to me can expect a trusting, compassionate, respectful therapeutic environment that fosters creating positive solutions. We will work together to address your unique needs and challenges in a non-judgmental, safe environment.

My desire is to help clients create a more positive and productive life experience in order to transform their lives and break the cycle of self-defeating behaviors. Life is not meant to be just endured, but enjoyed. We all deserve a chance to reach our fullest potential despite experiences which have created limited core beliefs and hold us back in self- destructive patterns of depression, anxiety, fear, and guilt. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative experience.

Therapy is an act of strength, hope, and resiliency. Even the happiest and most well-adjusted people may encounter problems resulting from unexpected life challenges and demands. My goal is to work in collaboration and partnership with my clients to bring about positive changes, growth, and healing from past painful events. I have 15 years of clinical experience as a psychotherapist. I received both my Master's degree and Continued Advanced Graduate Study Degree in Counseling Psychology from Cambridge College. I am also certified as a cognitive behavioral therapist from Boston University School of Social Work.

I see therapy as a place to practice courage and honesty, with the goal of creating more joy, humor, flexibility, and play in one's life, relationships, and work. I often see individuals dealing with complex issues such as depression, grief/loss, anxiety, recovery from trauma/abuse or neglect, postpartum or parenting issues, child emotional or behavioral concerns, relationship conflicts, or identity/life transitions. My approach is collaborative, empathic, and interactive, creating an environment in which to help you better understand, relate to, and address the challenges you are experiencing.

Currently the bulk of my practice is relationship focused counseling; where two people join in counseling sessions together. I am taking on clients who are at any stage of a relationship/partnership who are jointly seeking any of the following; solutions to strengthen and improve the quality of their relationship, build positive relationship skills, resolve conflict, recover from relationship specific trauma, and build long- lasting relationship opportunities. In addition to couples, I do have a few spots for individuals who may be interested in working through relationship conflict and challenge.

It has been my experience that many of us become frozen by yesterday to the point that tomorrow evokes anxiety and today becomes lost. I will help you reconnect to the here and now & together we will design a treatment plan that will allow you to move past stuck and start living the life you deserve!

Feeling nervous or stressed is natural. When these feelings overwhelm us, we need someone to listen, to validate our concerns, and to help us get to the root of our problems with tools that will inspire hope, and help us regain control of our lives. I use Mindfulness Practices to help people sit with, and tolerate what comes up. I use Self-Compassion Practices to help soothe what ails you, and I often use CBT to organize our plan going forward. This gives you tools that you can use immediately, and strikes a fine balance between listening and responding.
