Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Pittsfield, MA

I have been practicing for over 30 years in many capacities as a clinical supervisor, consultant,coordinator and director of programs in residential and community mental health clinics. I am absolutely humbled and respect clients" resiliency and courage as they confront their various life stressors.

I have helped clients experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and those learning to manage their mental health symptoms. When life can feel overwhelming and we are not sure how to cope, I believe that therapy can help to provide us with the tools we need to manage our stress and our mental health symptoms. These skills can also better equip us to do the work of processing past trauma and working through family of origin issues. I believe you are the expert when it comes to your work and healing.

As humans we are deeply influenced by our external environment. In turn, we risk losing our individuality. If you know this to be true, you might feel as though you are living a life that someone/something else has designed for you & that you feel you should look, act, & be a certain way. You may begin to realize that who you think you are, isn’t who you truly are & that it's time to be you regardless of what anyone says. However, the resistance & fear of your mind shows up & you remain living life as is. But the path to healing doesn’t start with the mind, it starts with the body b/c emotions are stored in the body.

Life after sexual trauma can be disorienting, altering your self-perception, trust in others, and connection with your body. It can extend beyond memories, impacting every facet of life. Coping with intense emotions, rebuilding trust, feeling disconnected from your body, experiencing flashbacks, avoiding triggers, and battling shame are common challenges. You might feel isolated and struggle to maintain balance in daily life. Through holistic, integrative, and somatic therapy approaches, we can explore pathways to healing, focusing on reclaiming your life and fostering reconnection with your body.

Are you a successful, gifted adult who has all the boxes checked yet still wonders, "Is there more to life?" Have you been feeling like you need to make a change but you're not quite sure where or how to start? It can be hard to trust that there's someone out there who could really "get" you and help you create the dream life you truly desire. Flourishing is the concept of living life with purpose, meaning, connection, and vibrant well-being. You may not be struggling with mental illness, per se, but you may be languishing. And that can feel particularly frustrating because it just feels like living in the "blah" zone day after day.

I want to help clients on their journey to wholeness and healing. I encourage clients to believe they can achieve a better life situation by working on their strengths and talents. Self Compassion is needed to move forward. I can do teletherapy for those individuals who want a phone or video session. I see vaccinated individuals on Tuesdays at Pittsfield and Saturdays at North Adams. I am available for teletherapy by appointment Tuesday through Saturday.
