Therapists in Byfield, MA

I have been a social worker for more than 30 years and have spent the last 16 years as a School Social Worker. I believe in the importance of relationship and in helping our children understand and manage their emotions, and how to ask for and receive help. Sometimes for a child, nothing is more powerful than an adult that can be present and hold what can feel like overwhelming emotion. I provide simple tools for naming feelings and use games and stories to teach children about their feelings and the strategies they can use to navigate social and emotional situations, bringing relief and joy to what can be a complicated world.

you are presumably looking to make some sort of change. You may be suffering from anxiety, depression, lingering events from your past, or dealing with current stressors from family, relationships, work, or life events. All too often people resort to unhealthy means or patterns to alleviate their pain, stress, or mood but the relief is often fleeting and our best attempts can often backfire leaving us overwhelmed and exhausted. Therapy can serve as a collaborative process in which you can work through the obstacles that stand in the way of a happy and fulfilling life.

Nova Initia is a collaborative group of therapists with a common goal, to help our clients improve their lives and to grow as individuals. This allows for a unified approach to treatment that focuses on the needs of the client, whether that client is an individual, couple or family. Additionally, our clinicians work closely together to offer our clients a robust supportive environment that understands that while we are all responsible for our own lives and choices, we are also affected by the choices of others.

For the past 34 years, I have dedicated my career to helping people find true meaning and life purpose. I believe focusing on the present moment can be a grounding experience. Exploration of the past is part of the process but it is not where we will linger. We will give attention to the present moment, create short-term goals and long-term goals. Together we can find a way to achieve acceptance of your life as it is now and establish a sense of peace.

As a seasoned therapist, I am dedicated to helping people improve their lives. I am a Licensed Mental Health Clinician (LMHC) who provides therapy to people across the life spectrum.

We all have a unique path, an unfolding story to tell, and various crossroads to navigate on our journey through life. At times the path may be difficult; we may feel lost and unable to find our way or change direction alone. It may be a crisis in a family or relationship, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief/loss, difficulties with work or school, or an inner sense that something is just not right. I believe our natural state is one of joy and well-being but experiences in life can cause suffering and distance us from feeling whole. I take a holistic approach based on the premise that the mind and body function as one.
