Congratulations on your decision to improve your life! It's time to get to work. We will draw from several schools of thought in order to create a unique approach that best suits your needs. You are inherently powerful and already have strengths to draw from. It will be our goal to recognize these tools and use them effectively. To move from surviving your life's challenges, to enjoying and even relishing them. We will work closely together to identify your triggers, and help you create simple techniques to help reduce unwanted feelings.
You may already know what changes to make, but need some unbiased support. I will offer you practical tools to use: CBT, EFT, stress relaxation, grounding, thought stopping, positive reframing, tools for overcoming negative self-talk, focus on being safe emotionally with others, and more.
Let's connect to see if we may be a good fit. If yes, great! If not, I will try and help you find someone with a different approach. After more than twenty years of experience, I know that I'm not for everyone. Still, I do my best to be real, use humor and curiosity, and see you as an equal. Please note: I am currently licensed in MA, NH, TX, ME, OR, and FL.

I use Headway for billing. They make every effort to verify benefits, but please contact your insurance member services to verify cost and insurance limitations, as these are complex. If I'm not in your network, using Thrizer is an easy way to help you expedite out of network reimbursement.

I have been a clinician for more than 20 years. Personally and professionally, I understand that starting therapy can be intimidating. My first goal for you is to become more comfortable together so you feel safe enough to do the work. I'm trained in CBT, ACT, EFT, mindfulness, and somatic work.

I love using CBT, although it's not recommended for all. I use mindfulness, EFT, somatic (paying attention to your body's cues) and love a good workbook. The goal is to learn what your top priorities are, and ID strategies to get you there. While I wouldn't say I'll give you "homework", I will say that therapy continues to stay with you throughout the week if you practice what we discuss.
