Therapy with me is informed by my experience of being both systemically trained and trauma informed.

Are you ready to forgive yourself and others who have significantly impacted your life? Through learning to forgive you can deepen your awareness of what may prevent you from having more joy, love, and peace in your life. When you are not ready to forgive you can easily get stuck in a cycle of depression, anger, fear and anxiety. We all have innate wisdom and knowing that allows us to heal from any trauma or difficult life experience. Therapy is about coming to understand and know you have basic goodness as a human being. I will help you connect with that inner wisdom and knowing to create more meaning and purpose in your life.

I've been practicing as a psychotherapist for over 30 years. I have been clinical director of mental health facilities and on the faculty of Tufts University School of Medicine. I welcome clients 14 years of age and older -- individuals and couples, and offer you a warm personal approach focusing on your specific needs. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" model of practice or that therapy should be "a way of life." Therapy begins with a careful assessment and plan. If what we are doing isn't working for you, we change it.

Accepting new clients. Just to name a few, if you are experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, or grief, I would like to assist you in working through those concerns to help you succeed.

When life brings us challenges, It’s nice to have someone who can offer the support you need when you need it the most. The one thing we can all count on in life is unavoidable change. Sometimes these life changes can be overwhelming and, it’s hard to see a way out of the impact, it has on your mental health and well-being. Are you looking to calm racing thoughts? Are you ready to find solutions? Are you looking for a therapist to connect with?

** NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME** I am a strong believer in the long-time cliche: Therapy is a journey... so you're going to need a good pair of shoes! Whether your journey is long or short, smooth or rocky, obstacle filled or a clear path, I believe finding a therapist is like finding that perfect pair of walking shoes- comfortable and supportive. I am a marriage and family therapist, a systemic thinker, and genuine individual looking to help other individuals navigate life and climbing any hurdles blocking their pathway.

When you finding yourself stuck, it can be challenging to see all the possibilities we have in our lives. And its all the more difficult if you've experienced trauma or wounding in attachment. Whether you’re experiencing difficulties in your relationships, parenting, excessive stress, or regulating emotions, we can work together to find greater balance and healing. I have a special focus working with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I believe that we are happiest and most fulfilled when we are living in line with our beliefs, are able to manage conflict and stressors, and feel connected to the people we care about.

Now accepting new clients for Telehealth (Virtual) sessions and In Person sessions. Hello! My approach is to provide a non-judgmental and caring place to allow you a positive counseling experience.

I understand the struggle and the desire to feel and be better. If you are willing to share your story and engage in the process, I look forward to working with you. I have 20 years of experience working with adolescents, college-age students, student athletes and adults in crisis.
