Therapists in Plymouth, MA

Seeking help in the form of therapy takes courage. I view my role in therapy as embarking on a journey with my client towards greater life fulfillment, improved quality in their relationships and in their overall quality of life. I work with adults struggling with mood and anxiety issues, grief and loss, codependency, marital issues, trauma and life cycle/life adjustment issues, inner child work and family of origin issues. I work with preteens and adolescents and include parenting and family therapy in that work when needed. I enjoy working with couples and have been trained in The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy.

Are you experiencing distress in your daily life and in your relationships? Are you feeling depressed, anxious, confused or disempowered? Are you frustrated by repetitive nonproductive disagreements with your partner? As a practicing therapist for twenty plus years, I have worked with individuals, couples and families struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and substance abuse issues. It is my belief that basic to all relationships, is the relationship with self. In our work we will look at relationship patterns to identify barriers to creating healthy, satisfying connections with ourselves and others in our lives, play, and work.

Are you a Millennial with anxiety affecting your relationships? Do you feel frustrated when you react more than respond? Perhaps there is a parent with whom you struggle to define boundaries. Do you ever wonder if you could feel fulfilment in relationships or if you're doomed to live emotionally isolated to protect yourself? Now more than ever, people are overwhelmed about how to build and maintain healthy relationships and identify and remove toxic ones. I believe that things can be better, and so do you (you're here, aren't you?)!

I am a certified licensed social worker specializing in the integrative holistic approach to psychotherapy, counseling and nutritional wellness with twenty-four years in private practice. I utilize my experience and applied knowledge of family systems theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, nutritional wellness, weight loss and holistic healing to help create lasting and meaningful change. Treatment and healing can only be achieved by working on the entire mind body soul connection and my role is a facilitator providing a safe and comfortable space at which the healing can begin.

I provide individual, couples and family therapy. I maintain a safe and confidential place for people in crisis or life transitions to talk, sort out issues and create new solutions to old problems. I work with children adolescents, and adults. I specialize in working with adoptees and their families.

During this challenging and difficult time for all of us, simply talking to a therapist can help alleviate stress. Feeling fearful, anxious, depressed, lonely, scatter-brained, unfocused, angry, fatigued, numb are all possible reactions to the state of our current world. You may feel none of these and want to explore something completely unrelated. Our first conversation will give you a sense of whether it's a good fit. Trust your instinct. If it doesn't feel right for any reason, I encourage you to keep searching!

I have over 20 years of experience working with women, couples, and families, primarily addressing challenges at different stages of marriage and raising a family. In addition , issues women frequently face, depression, anxiety, work/life balance, and parenting are an area of special interest. My approach is systemic, viewing people in context of their family, communities, educational situations, beliefs and values that shape how their world is viewed. I support individuals and families to advocate for themselves, and, if appropriate, link people with community resources that might be helpful on their journey.

I AM accepting new clients in person and via telehealth, email is best for initial correspondence with me. I am incredibly proud of you for taking steps to find a therapist. Finding the “right fit,” is imperative. I view therapy as a collaborative process between two humans. I always offer ample respect, dignity and compassion to everyone I encounter. I am a strengths based clinician, which means I will focus on positives when helping you identify and overcome difficulties in your life. Life happens in ways we often cannot control, but I believe it’s how we respond that counts most.

Are you are constantly juggling tasks and putting out fires without addressing your own needs? Would you label yourself a caretaker, teacher, or maybe even the "responsible friend" everyone relies on? Do you find it challenging to express yourself, struggling to prioritize your own needs and feeling suffocated by responsibilities and leaving you feeling drained and overlooked? How about wondering where your own dreams and desires went amidst the chaos of daily routines? It's a struggle many of us face.

Seeking therapy can be a difficult step for most, but is often the first step towards healing and growth. With a specialty in trauma work, I provide a place of support to children, adolescents, adults and couples who are experiencing challenges with relationships, anxiety/depression, boundary formation, and grief. I believe in clients being the experts of their own experiences and offer a safe and supportive environment to explore opportunities for change and to establish new skills to support overall mental health and wellness.

Mental health issues can be overwhelming for anyone. Everyone can use a space to work through their personal struggles. I have ten years of clinical experience working with clients with depression, anxiety, personality disorders, mental illness, substance use issues and legal issues. Together we can focus on the areas of your life that you want to improve. I utilize humor and non-judgement to help my clients feel comfortable enough to work through the most personal areas of life. A trusting environment is key in allowing ourselves to be authentic and move our life in the direction of true happiness.

Life is tough at best, traumatic at worst. People let us down or we let ourselves down. We may repeat patterns that once seemed to work for us, but are now impeding our growth. Often we know what we "should" do to feel better, but can't seem to actualize our intentions. Or we become so overwhelmed with messages that we have to fix ourselves that over time our resolve weakens and we feel stuck, frustrated, and helpless. It can feel uncomfortable to ask for help when we're struggling, but we are not wired to walk this life alone; we all need a safe space where we can share our hurts, disappointments, and losses.
