I am well-known in the North Shore North Suburban area as a therapist whose strength is building warm, supportive, positive relationships with my clients, with 25 years of experience as a private practitioner of counseling psychotherapy in Lynnfield. I feel that it is important to put you at ease to allow you a safe, confidential forum for expression of your emotional needs and desires. My style is "Solution-Focused," helping you to evaluate your well-being and helping you to actualize change. If you want to move forward in a more positive direction in life, call me! I look forward to working with you...

I have more than 20 years of experience, specializing in couples therapy, and working with individuals and families. Couples will learn more effective proven communication techniques, how to remove negativity from their relationships, and gain a better understanding of self-defeating behaviors. Couples move toward conscious connection as they come to understand each other better. They have more compassion as their defenses drop, and intimacy grows deeper, both emotionally and sexually.

When we seek therapy- we are often "on the edge" of something...usually mystifying, hugely disappointing or nerve wracking. For a while it can be confusing and sometimes debilitating. It may be a relationship breakdown, a divorce, an addiction, a loss, or even "a cliff"- in which case psychotherapy can be life saving! Some of us clearly benefit with guidance. Perhaps our collaboration will achieve this.

*Certified CBT Therapist* My approach to therapy allows me to conduct solution-focused therapy; meaning that together we will work towards solving whatever questions you may have through changing thoughts and/or behaviors. I also perform Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) where my work focuses on helping people change problematic behaviors. With a teaching style heavily rooted in behavior therapy, I am able to work with people to problem solve in the here and now, where we will work to turn the issues of yesterday and today into a better tomorrow.

"Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending." (Carl Bard) As a therapist I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment in which we can work together to find your strengths and define your goals towards positive change. I will help you to explore patterns of behavior and thinking that have led you to this place and support you in making the shifts needed to clear the path to success.

As a solution-focused, goal-oriented therapist, my treatment approach is to provide you with the support and practical feedback that will assist you in resolving not only your current problems, but with any long-standing patterns of behaviors that may be interfering with your daily life and relationships. With sensitivity and compassion, I will assist you in finding solutions to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues. Incorporating conventional and cognitive-behavioral strategies, I draw on a variety of styles and techniques in determining what will be most helpful to you.

I have 15 years experience working with individuals and families battling confusing effects of substance use. I provide an environment free of pressure or judgement for exploring how substance use impacts your life, as an individual or a family member. We will navigate through the unpredictable and difficult circumstances life can bring. This relationship provides support and self-knowledge as we learn how we can contribute to solutions and/or problems. Learning concrete education, skills and tools to handle people, places and situations will help to move forward in our lives, resulting in increased self-confidence and serenity.

My goal as a therapist is to provide genuine, life-changing support to children, adults and couples who are seeking change and/or insight. My office is designed to be a safe environment where clients can speak openly and honestly about relationships and issues in their lives. My mission is to help clients to develop realistic and helpful changes in their habits, thinking and relationships.

I work with clients who are looking to reach a deeper level of fulfillment and may be curious about how to be the best version of themselves. Clients who find me often feel parts of their life feel stuck, are working through a life transition, have experienced profound trauma or grief, or they have a hard time understanding thoughts or patterns in their life. I offer a safe space to explore, heal and create lasting change for the present and future. I rely heavily on EMDR and the mind-body connection in my approach to treatment.

"I can't get no satisfaction." (Mick Jagger). I haven't met anyone who hasn't struggled with discontent at some point in their lives. "Discontent" not like annoyance when the TV remote stops working (!) - but, when it seems as if no matter how many back flips we do, we can't shake that feeling of inadequacy because we're unable to make someone (Mom/Dad/Children/Boss/Friend) happy; when we're feeling anxious, frustrated, powerless, or angry about a situation; or when we need another set of eyes to help us recognize how "good enough" we really are.

I have been a clinician and educator for over twenty-five years and blend these methods in my clinical practice. My training encompasses a number of diverse content areas, such as clinical, developmental, family and substance-related issues, all of which helps enrich my understanding of the challenges that life can present. I believe that people have greater capabilities than they are aware of. My role is to collaborate with you, not tell offer advice, tell you what to do or how to live. I treat all of my clients with dignity and respect and seek active collaboration.
