Family Systems Therapists in 04011
I work within a family systems, generational, and attachment lens and look for practical solutions in helping individuals and couples find holistic health in their lives.
I currently have openings for in-person work in my office in Brunswick, or via Telehealth. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are experiencing anxiety, OCD, life transitions, loss, heartbreak, shame, relationship issues, trauma, belonging, and self-worth. Together we will try to make sense of how you’re feeling, discern what you’re needing, and work towards harmonious, courageous, playful, and honest relationships. We might discover limiting beliefs and attempt to release them. We will look at your story and past, your goals and dreams, and make connections as we slow down, investigate, unscramble, feel, and heal.

My work is informed by several approaches, including Interpersonal (developmental and relational patterns), Object Relations (the primary importance of attachment), Family Systems (understanding environmental rules and roles that shaped your development) Cognitive-Behavioral (cognitive restructuring, humor) and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy.
I work with adults (18+) to help relieve depression, anxiety, stress, challenges within relationships, grief, as well as challenges associated with life transitions, loss and adjustment. My consistent, caring and collaborative approach will help you gain insight and we will develop a plan to create fulfilling and lasting changes.

My approach is Client-Centered, Strengths-based, and Culturally Sensitive, drawn from mind/body/spirit oriented theoretical approaches such as Expressive Therapies, Somatic Experiencing, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems.
Would you like to feel more calm, confident, hopeful, and energetic? Are you facing roadblocks or transitions in your relationships or family life? Would you like to become more effective at getting your needs met through self-compassion rather than self-criticism?

Focused on healing through trauma-informed, body-based care and grounded in family systems theory, I draw on a range of counseling approaches including; psychodynamic, transpersonal, existential, expressive, mindfulness, mind-body, behavioral (DBT and CBT). Together we sojourn toward self-awareness and compassion for self. Emblematic moments from the past may have become conditioned responses to the present. We focus both on here and now and historical events. TAT (Tapas Acupressure Technique), mindfulness, sensorimotor psychotherapy and EMDR-Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing help re-program stored arousal in the body.

I have an MS in Counseling, specialization in Family Systems and advanced training in couples/family therapy modalities from New England Family Institute.
In our hurried lives, we sometimes find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from loved ones, or "stuck" and unsure about where we are headed. Some of us may even struggle with a past that continues to define our present. As a counselor, I strive to provide a safe, supportive environment promoting awareness, cultivating strengths, and encouraging lasting change. My clients frequently describe me as warm, genuine, non-judgmental, easy to talk to, insightful and motivating. My style draws upon an experience range including grief/hospice care, family/couple systems, group and individual treatment for clients with severe psychiatric diagnoses, and addiction.

Being a child, teen, or young adult can be overwhelming. For parents too! There are important social needs, academic demands, and family relationships to understand and manage. It's a time of discovering who you are, who you want to be, and how to get there. That’s a lot! You need someone who will listen, understand your perspective, and help you feel better. Whatever your individual challenges or goals may be, we can uncover the tools and strategies that work best for you. I'd love to help.

I believe in the basic goodness of all humans, no exceptions. I am honored to sit with couples as they build their trust, & strengthen their love, commitment & true understanding of how ‘to be with each other’. Intimacy requires vulnerability; risky but doable with courage & curiosity while feeling safe. I get to see soft, smiling eyes increasingly shared & I love when a couple says their children are noticing. My work is inspired by my connection with my husband Steven, by neuroscience, mindfulness, spirituality& body centered work. The body doesn't lie, we must learn its language. The mind, to protect us, will hide certain truths.

I work with people dealing with the struggles that come from living and growing. Many of my clients are dealing with life transitions, relationship problems, grief, stress, anxiety or trauma. They may have noticed patterns in their life they want to change. All of them want to feel better, to function better, and to understand themselves better. You do not need a diagnosis to work with me. However, if you have been diagnosed with a mental health issue, or are interested in being diagnosed, we can work together to identify and understand your struggles. You will create the goals that define the work we do together.

In my calm, safe, confidential office, I am currently offering HIPAA secure Online video sessions using a HIPPA-compliant secure platform or phone consultations. We integrate CDC guidelines for COVID-19 for any inperson sessions. My 25 years of clinical experience have taught me about the courage those facing complex life difficulties bring to psychotherapy. Adults, children and adolescents are given help finding solutions. Mindfulness techniques which I have discovered the value of through a 25+ year meditation practice are also of benefit to clients who are looking to make life changes.

In long term committed relationships we all long to feel seen and known. Couples in distress often say they are having a “communication” problem but it’s actually a “connection” problem. That’s because the normal rhythm in relationships from infancy on involves rupture & repair. Couples in distress typically struggle with too much rupture/disconnection and too little or no repair. The result is either chronic unproductive conflict or distance & isolation. It's from this place that people turn away from each other and engage in addictions & affairs, making it more challenging, but not impossible, to rediscover intimacy & connection.

At times, we all get stuck. Sometimes we worry, sometimes we don't see a way out, and sometimes we feel distant from or in conflict with the ones we love. There is a way through this, but it isn't always obvious. I can help. As a therapist, my job is to help you move beyond these difficult experiences and to re-engage with your most cherished aspirations, values and hopes.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
