The calm supportive environment I create empowers you to make the changes you seek, establishing balance and hope, often in just a few sessions. My approach is eclectic, comprehensive and holistic, teaching skills to avoid medication whenever possible. As a Licensed Psychologist, I've aided clients in Central Massachusetts and Northeastern Connecticut for 35 years. Many families have come back years later when their family is dealing with their next developmental challenge or sent friends to work with the same caring, skillful counselor/therapist.
Learn relaxation techniques, reduce anxiety, master fears, build confidence, adapt to loss, strengthen relationships, improve communication, increase effectiveness, health, and joy. I work with adults, couples and families. I help many find a better balance between the pressures of family, work, personal, spiritual and community needs in creative ways.
After many years experience I am well versed in a variety of therapy approaches and tailor my work to your needs and style. I respect and build on your strengths and experiences to help you cope with the challenges you face. Telehealth only for those in Mass. and Ct. and is preferred by many for adding flexible scheduling and the comfort of being at home.
