I am a Managing Director at the New England Center for Couples and Families, working primarily with couples. I love my work, and take an active, collaborative approach with my clients. I use an "attachment lens" while working, to help people find the underlying, deeper reasons that explain why they act in the ways they do in their relationships. I believe we all seek emotional intimacy, and that, with help, we can learn how to both offer it and receive it. I am certified in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), a highly successful, research-based approach to working with couples.

By combining extensive clinical experience and creative techniques, I offer individualized psychotherapy and art therapy to address various emotional issues. I pair empathic listening with collaborative problem-solving with adolescents and adults. I am experienced in specialized psychotherapy counseling techniques, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for depression and anxiety disorders, stress management and group therapy. I offer a comfortable, supportive and confidential environment for my clients, so they can utilize their strengths to overcome obstacles and achieve personal goals. Exciting news: I will be offering art therapy for teens and adults in Beverly, MA. Please contact me if you would like to learn more.

In the over thirty years I have worked as a psychotherapist, I have learned a good deal about what promotes a successful therapy experience. The most effective and enduring results occur within a collaborative client-therapist relationship that is interactive, supportive, and mutually respectful. I have been able to build such alliances and develop an environment that can lead clients to fundamental changes in their outlooks and actions. I deal with mood disorders, issues arising from relationships, the workplace, illness, elder care and end-of-life issues..

I am an experienced clinician that works primarily with adolescents and adults. Treatment is individualized and collaborative so that we can best meet your particular needs. I am seeking clients that are motivated to make changes in their life. Ultimately, I want to help you live a meaningful life in which you feel confident in your unique abilities and strengths. I hope our work together will help you trust your instincts and honor your true self.

I have training and experience in treating a variety of psychological problems, and I specialize in treating anxiety and OCD. I have specialized training in the most modern psychological treatments that are supported by research evidence. My style is warm and collaborative; I am dedicated to understanding your experience and helping you make changes that are important to you.

I assist clients who are wanting to improve their lives in significant ways. While I specialize in treating eating disorders, anxiety and depression, most clients also come to me with related issues of trauma, self-confidence, struggles with change/transition, work, family relationships and other stressors. I see therapy as a collaborative process taking place in the context of an empathic relationship where support and appropriate challenge are offered. I encourage individuals to learn about themselves, understand the meaning behind symptoms and develop skills that enable them to take positive action toward well-being.

Hello, and welcome. I provide client-centered psychotherapy, drawing on several theoretical orientations (psychodynamic and relational approaches, as well as mindfulness and skills-based modalities) and always tailoring my approach to the specific needs of each client. I believe that the experience of being deeply understood within a secure and trusting therapeutic relationship is a foundation that supports growth, change, and healing.

Are you experiencing a transition in your life--in a relationship, career, education, or life stage such as early adulthood or midlife? Are you overwhelmed and uncertain, feeling depressed, anxious, grief-stricken, resentful, conflicted, or confused? Change of all types stirs up unsettling feelings, including unresolved issues, memories and traumas. You might feel like you're always in "crisis-mode." When your feelings overwhelm you, they cloud your judgment and vision. Rather than being at their mercy, you can learn to allow your feelings to guide you, no matter how difficult the challenges you face.

Loss, uncertainty, and feeling overwhelmed are part of being human. We all experience moments in life that challenge our capacity to cope. Whether you are navigating a life transition, such as a new relationship, aging, new child, or struggling with depression, anxiety, issues around sexuality/gender identity, infertility, loss/grief, medical crisis, my hope is to create a calm, empathic, safe space in which we can explore these issues together. I offer a holistic approach that takes into consideration the interconnectedness of our physical, emotional, and social selves and am committed to helping individuals improve these aspects of well-being, as well as their relationships.

I create a safe,supportive and nurturing environment for change to take place.I guide you in making changes that allow you to feel more successful,satisfied and empowered in your life. Along with this comes fulfilling relationships and work, enhanced self-esteem, physical well-being and more connection to yourself.I assist you in learning to interrupt negative patterns and self-defeating behaviors and help you replace them with positive feelings,new beliefs and life affirming behaviors.In the process you discover inner resources and develop self-acceptance and self compassion.I bring warmth,humor,compassion and wisdom to the process.

Please note I am not accepting clients at this time. It takes a lot of courage to enter into therapy as it means acknowledging that something isn't working in your life. Everyone who comes into therapy is a unique individual whose problems are different eventhough they may fall under the same category,e.g."depressed." Sometimes people enter into therapy with specific problems while for others there is a need to understand old, negative patterns of behaviors.

*I AM ACCEPTING ONLINE CLIENTS.* Are you unhappy with your relationship? Are you engaged, married, or in a committed relationship? Does it feel like you and your partner speak different languages, or are having the same arguments over again? Want to feel more connected? I provide pre-marital, marital, and relationship counseling to engaged, married, or dating couples to help build solid, positive connections for the future. I work with you - individually, or as a couple - to anticipate the bumps in the road, and help to have successful, loving relationships. I also work w/ Grief & Loss, Life Transitions, & Sandwich Generation.

Other people think you’ve “got it all together” but inside it really doesn’t feel like that. You have done a good job of keeping certain parts of yourself well disguised from others, thinking “If they knew this about me they would….” You wonder what it might be like to stop living a double life. Therapy with me is a gradual process of getting to know what happened to you. It is not a quick fix because nothing about you is broken. Some areas I focus on include; relational trauma, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and stigmatizing labels and life experiences.

I believe that people are not problems, problems are problems. I help people and families to define themselves not by the circumstances affecting them but by what is important to them. I will work with you to explore the moments that have shaped your life, the turning-points, and the key relationships. This work will help draw focus to your intentions, dreams, and values that have guided you through life, despite setbacks.

Hi! I AM taking new clients but DO NOT take insurance. I'm a group and individual psychotherapist specializing in childhood dysfunctional family trauma. If you are seeking a general light talk therapist, I am not right for you. I work from a very specific and effective model regarding my client's childhood that promotes deep and lastly change and healing. It calls for emotionally motivated deeper work. My clients experience shifts in negative core beliefs, are able to reclaim intimacy, profoundly change their relationship with themselves, and others. Most importantly, they are able to reclaim some joy and well being.

In my practice I utilize a collaborative, strengths-based model to help clients increase awareness and develop strategies to feel more successful in their lives. My therapeutic approach is overall eclectic, drawing on my training in the evidence-based modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). As an LMHC with a Master's Degree in Art Therapy, I also incorporate expressive therapy when beneficial. In all of my work, I aim to focus my approach depending on the needs of the client I am working with.

I've worked in inpatient psychiatry, outpatient clinics, and school counseling and specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, eating issues, stress, relationships, ADHD, parenting and women's issues. I use a strengths-based, collaborative approach with clients and their families in assessment and treatment planning and utilize many treatment modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused, and mindfulness-based techniques.

I am a German-American psychotherapist who works alongside children and the adults who care for them. I focus my work on children (birth to young teens) and their adults through family sessions, individual, parent guidance, and groups/workshops. I am honored to work with families on all issues that arise for their children individually (social fears, peer issues, gender, sexuality, academic) and as a family unit (loss, stress, family structure). I currently meet with clients online and also occasionally in person outdoors. A recent Washington Post article (11/14/20) cites my outdoor therapy work.

Integrating Mindfulness and Meditation with different psychotherapeutic approaches has been helpful for my clients. My previous training includes treatment of family of origin issues, trauma, ADHD, depression, and anxiety, drawing from a variety of disciplines, including psychodynamic, attachment theory, cognitive-behavioral therapy. I have recently completed Level 1 Training in IFS and am integrating this modality successfully into my approach to helping clients heal. Empowering people to participate actively in their own healing process through self exploration as well as gaining insight into how different aspects or parts within them affect their daily living and relationships.

Psychotherapy is about taking time for yourself in the context of a supportive,respectful relationship.I believe that healing resides within your own resources and my job is to assist you in tapping into the wisdom that lies within you and to help you get out of your own way,so that you can live a more satisfying and fulfilling life and cultivate wellbeing.I view the process of psychotherapy as relational and collaborative and each therapy is different,depending on who you are,and what you bring for resolution.I bring warmth and humour to our work together.
