Therapists in Hanover, MA

People don't care how much you know, until they know how much YOU CARE. Relationships are key to helping others and I focus on developing those relationships with my clients.

Stress from family or relationship conflict, anxiety, depression, trauma, decision-making, even everyday events can keep you from having the life you want and enjoying the results of your efforts. I provide a private, non-judgmental space to work through your issues/concerns. My goals are to help you see the patterns that hold you back or keep you going in circles, to see issues in a new light with new options, and to help you make the changes you want.

Navigating life can be challenging. It's natural to need help at times, and joining with another person in a therapeutic alliance can be just what you need to gain more insight, refocus, and find more balance to live life more joyfully. My intention in psychotherapy is to guide individuals to a clearer understanding of their mental and emotional terrain, how their thoughts and feelings may influence their overall sense of well-being, and to explore new perspectives that may benefit them.

I believe that the ability to heal exists within all of us. I utilize a multimodal approach in my work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with a diverse array of issues. My goal of treatment is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment through which we will work collaboratively to address issues associated with life transitions, depression, anxiety, grief and loss.

I am a therapist with over 20 years in the field, having treated individuals, families and couples with a very broad variety of issues. I am particularly interested in trauma, and I am trained in various trauma modalities for this reason. Overall, my approach is a strength-based, solution focused, compassionate psychotherapy with my clients.

I am a strengths-based, solution focused clinician, who works to empower individuals to overcome obstacles and improve their overall daily functioning. My approach is to help clients identify triggers to their mental health challenges, develop coping strategies to meet client's specifics needs and assist is changing flawed cognitive patterns that exist. I will work with you to identify the best approach for your specific needs and goals.

We all face difficult challenges in life that can lead to increased stress, decreased functioning, emotional pain, ineffective coping strategies, and interpersonal struggles. Engagement in therapy can provide a safe space to gain the skills and support needed to manage these difficulties and can help us grow into the best version of ourselves. I believe that therapy works to aid in the healing process because we are wired for social connection and thrive when we are able to be vulnerable and feel understood/accepted.

I am a firm believer of implementing change behavior at any stage of life. Anyone can change with the right tools and support. There is always hope even when others don't feel hopeful. Hope is the fuel that propels change at any stage of life. Change breeds more hope for the future and maintains positive life changes that are sustainable and carry us through even the most difficult of times.

My practice includes working with children, adolescents, and adults through creating a safe, trusting therapeutic environment. My goal is to help clients make sense of their approach to the world, understand challenges, and access effective coping strategies. Anxiety, depression, and other social-emotional difficulties often contribute to feelings of isolation. Through processing thoughts, feelings, and experiences, clients can begin to understand their map of the world in order to effectively address trauma (or Trauma) and increase feelings of self-confidence, sense of belonging, and self-efficacy.

Finding a therapist who is the right fit can be the first step toward creating positive change in your life. Starting the process can feel overwhelming, but I can help. I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 25 years of experience working with clients on the South Shore. My style is interactive and collaborative, facilitating client growth through improved self-awareness, clarification of needs/goals and the development of coping and wellness skills in a safe, supportive environment. Change isn't easy but is entirely possible with a willingness to take action one step at a time.

My focus is providing an opportunity to learn how to increase attention and awareness of thoughts, feelings, leading to behaviors that are not serving us; motivating shifts in thinking in order to respond rather than react. What is most satisfying to me in this work is once individuals or couples gain the awareness of how childhood experiences affect communication and reactivity, they are open to learning skills which enable them to change their communication patterns that formerly were feeding conflict and negativity, leading to empathy, compassion, deeper understanding and willingness to find resolution.

Note: email is the best way to reach me - I'm a Licensed MH Counselor looking forward to helping you (or a loved one) work through difficulties in life.
