Couples Counseling Therapists in Beverly, MA

Throughout my thirty year career, I've been dedicated to counseling males from their late teens through their thirties, as well as men in midlife. I am committed to helping males to understand and overcome barriers that block their paths to a positive, productive and hopeful future. With my help, you will be able to build a more solid foundation of self confidence, clarity and direction as you prepare for, enter and navigate your young adult and adult life. I am also successful at assisting parents whose children are facing challenges in transitioning into an independent young adulthood.

I have been working primarily with adolescents and children for over 20 years. I have a very direct and realistic approach that has great success working with the most challenging teens, especially. I also welcome parents who are having difficulty with this challenging transitional time in raising teenagers as well. In addition I work with couples to promote positive communication to strengthen and build positive relationships.

We also have supportive treatment working with partners of the addict.

Now offering Teletherapy online video session for couples and marriage counseling. In a relaxed, professional but non-threatening environment, we can explore areas of your life in which you'd like to grow. As a Christian Counselor, the Bible is always the backdrop of the conversation. Nothing about human behavior shocks me. However, God is all about second chances and reconciliation and I love to be a part of the healing process. In addition to the traditional weekly counseling hour long session, I offer phone, and video sessions. I am now offering "marriage intensives" which is extensive hours of therapy over a weekend.

I have enjoyed working with people struggling with addictions, dealing with anxiety and depression, trying to manage overwhelming thoughts that may seem to be out of control or hurt the quality of life. Recently I have been focusing more on couples and marriage counseling which addresses a growing communication problem couples have . Outward pressures of the internet and social media as well as the structural changes Covid has brought tremendous pressure on couples who feel there is no time to process and enjoy their relationship. Learning communication skills can help break these patterns and bring new life to the relationship

Most of us want to be in connection. We want to be known and acknowledged for our strengths and contributions and to be safely understood for our vulnerabilities. How can this happen? Supportive work in therapy brings that knowing awareness into play. We build trust; we listen more. Mutual respect replaces resentments, anger, and the defeat of resignation. There emerges readiness to experience comfort, ease in interactions, and confidence to handle life's situations with increased skill. Intimacy, vibrancy, and laughter naturally find a place again in our experience of each other and in the ups and downs of life.

Family and relationships are the most important things in our lives, but they can also be the place where we find most hurt and need the most healing. I specialize in working with individuals, families, and children by helping people communicate better through understanding and engagement. Therapy takes effort, honesty, and a willingness to engage in self-exploration. I will seek to meet you where you are and provide a safe environment for growth and change. I am here to listen, support, and help you in your journey forward.
