Therapists in West Newton, MA

I am a certified sex therapist who is licensed in NH, ME, and MA, and specialize in therapies for individuals and couples that are dealing with issues that inhibit future growth and happiness. As the author of Couples by Intention: Creating and Cultivating Relationships That Matter!, specialties include sex/intimacy, infidelity recovery, infertility, Surrogacy/Adoption, life transitions/personal growth, men's issues, and sexual minorities' concerns. My approach is solution focused, varied and includes a strength based perspective. Narrative therapy, CBT and interpersonal methods are often used.

I believe nobody should grapple with crippling anxiety. Tired of waiting for the other shoe to drop, feeling unwarranted fear, or losing sleep due to worry? There's hope. Anxiety affects millions, but we can navigate toward a brighter tomorrow. I offer personalized sessions for self-confidence, serenity, and joy. Let's embark on this journey together—because you deserve a life free from anxiety's constraints. My commitment to specializing in anxiety and its various forms stems from a recognition of the remarkable efficacy of modern therapeutic approaches.

My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative and solution-focused. I incorporate mindfulness techniques to increase awareness of harmful thoughts and behaviors, and skill building exercises to increase emotion regulation, resilience, and psychological flexibility. I hold an advanced certificate in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) from Boston University and have extensive training in mindfulness-based therapies.

The therapy session is a time and space one sets aside to focus on self. To be with self. And to build one’s self. It can be challenging to reflect on patterns, thoughts and emotions, relationships, past events and/or change, but it can also be transformative and rewarding. My role as your therapist is to witness your process and to reflect back with you along the way. The therapeutic relationship is an essential piece of my practice and is built on honesty, trust, empathy, and compassion.

Looking for the right therapist can be overwhelming. Whether this is for yourself, your child or teen, it can be difficult finding a good fit for you or your loved one. By beginning a therapeutic relationship with me, you will have a place where you can finally feel empowered around whatever emotional obstacles you or your loved one are facing. You can rely on me to provide support, resources and information that will help to guide the therapeutic journey.

I have worked with diverse populations and people of all ages ranging from 4-74 years old while working in community mental health. My clinical experience also includes treating children and adolescents with trauma and severe emotional and behavioral issues at two residential schools. I currently focus on children, teens/adolescents, families, and adults. I enjoy working with (and working alongside) athletes, taking a sports psychology approach. I also have a strong history of working well with clients who have not responded/had difficulty engaging in traditional therapy.

I offer a safe and confidential space where you can begin or continue your journey to wellness, empowerment, self-acceptance and peace of mind. You will have access to proven therapeutic approaches such as CBT, DBT and the innovative Lifebook Technique that I developed over 25 years in practice. Lifebook facilitates and enhances negotiation skills for achieving reciprocal relationships through proactive communication, self-advocacy, emotional regulation and empowerment. Experiencing positive outcomes, a safe and nurturing internal dialogue replaces self doubt while experiencing internal validation independent of external validation

I believe it's important to maintain consistency in meetings, clear identification of goals and ways to measure personal success.
