Therapists in Hanover, MA

I provide individual therapy to assist adults in gaining insight and increased coping abilities that are suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, self image and relationship issues as well as major life transitions( such career, relationship transitions , and first time parents). I enjoy processing / validating and skills based work, incorporating Solution Focused Therapy, DBT, CBT, and ACT and Motivational Interviewing.

I bring 35 years of experience, with many areas of expertise, to my practice. This breadth lets me match an effective approach with each need. My clinical understanding is informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), Psychodynamic Theory, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and other approaches.

I understand that hurt, resentments and family dysfunction make life challenging. Working with adults of all ages, I help clients identify triggers that lead to anxiety, depression and mood instability. Together, we develop skills and strategies that create changes in behavior and improve relationships. Some of my clients come to heal complicated grief, abuse, or PTSD. Along with an accepting relationship, I approach therapy using CBT (reframing thoughts & perspective), DBT (responding vs. reacting using your wise mind), Gestalt Therapy (role playing), Internal Family Systems (healing wounded parts) and expressive therapies.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or you are suffering from trauma and loss, I look forward to speaking with you. I am an individual therapist with over thirty years of experience helping individuals of all ages. My background includes a foundation in nursing practice in acute medical settings, community mental health, and private practice. As a therapist, I believe each person has the ability to heal and my goal is to help you facilitate your own growth through evidenced-based treatment.

You feel like you aren't living your best life and are ready to find out why. You're struggling to let go of the past, you are anxious, depressed, or suffering with symptoms related to trauma, low self-worth, addiction, or relationship problems. Maybe you feel like you are living your life on autopilot, just going through the motions. You want to prioritize yourself and are willing to make an investment in your mental health and wellness because deep down you know there must be more to life than just struggling and existing. It's time to (re) claim your authentic, resilient self!

I am currently offering supervision for clinicians. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor my work has largely revolved around trauma recovery and I am very passionate about working with transitional age youth, families, and couples, as well as the LGBTQIA+ community. I have been working with adolescents, families, and adults for over 10 years in a multitude of settings. I have experience working with the foster care system, substance abuse, and LGBTQIA+ organizations as well as in high schools as a school-based counselor, integrated healthcare and as a clinical director and supervisor.

The fact that you have survived so far and that you are here on this website is proof that you have enormous life force within you. I approach each client from a strengths based perspective. I applaud the part of you that is reaching out for therapy now! You have lived with your pain and are tired of hurting, but you are also brave enough to know you need some support. I promise unconditional respect and attuned dialogue within a safe virtual platform.

Currently accepting new clients for office, virtual or walk-and-talk sessions in Wompatuck. I am passionate about working with individuals from neurodivergent communities (ASD, ADHD, OCD), those navigating the transition into/out of college and individuals hoping to cultivate a life aligned with their values and various identities. I specialize in helping individuals navigate the messy and overwhelming struggles that come up through relationship conflict and life transitions (i.e. college transitions, career change, separation/divorce).
