Therapists in East Taunton, MA

My goal is to provide you with a safe, non-judgmental environment in which we can work together to explore the many life challenges that are overwhelming you. I customize my therapeutic approach and practices to best serve your individual needs. This may include individual therapy, parenting sessions, family/group meetings, or a combination of multiple modalities. I recognize that we each possess unique strengths and obstacles that we want to overcome. I will work collaboratively with you to build off of those strengths and experiences to develop goals that matter to you and solutions that fit who you are.

My approach to therapy is person centered! I believe that building a strong therapeutic alliance, creating a judgment free environment, and that the ability to be empathic are all equally important regarding the therapeutic process. I apply an eclectic mix of individually tailored techniques and strategies in which the aim is to foster people’s increased functioning and optimal potential. Drawing from years of experience working as a clinical therapist, I have gained a comfortable grasp on working with multiple diagnoses as well as modalities including individual, couples, family, and group counseling.

I am widely experienced in treating anxiety and panic, mood problems, alcoholism, relationships, life transitions, co-dependency, chronic stress, grief and loss of meaning and identity from a mind/body and mindfulness perspective. I work with women and men, older adults, anxious and depressed younger adults, and include significant others as needed. I've had specialized training working with the deeper mind for rapid intervention, enhancing motivation, to transform perceptions that keep us stuck, to resolve problems resistant to change. I offer workshops to enhance resiliency, relationship skills, creativity and problem solving.

Wherever you are in your journey in life, let’s take the journey together in achieving your goal of a life full of peace, happiness, and self-awareness. I’m a licensed therapist committed to helping individuals in understanding how their past experiences have shaped their current life. However, these experiences do not need to define your future.

As a Certified Child Life Specialist (CCLS), I work with children of all ages (0-18 years) & their families to provide various developmental supports from teaching emotional regulation & coping skills, to preparing for school or a medical/dental procedure, to coping with illness, loss, or traumatic medical experiences. Regardless of the specific challenge that leads a child or family to me, I strive to help them feel seen, known, & cared for. In collaboration with parents, we will create goals to help cope with the identified challenge (emotions, school, peers, trauma, divorce, grief/loss, upcoming event/procedure, diagnosis, etc.).

You may be considering psychotherapy for the first time or searching for a better "fit". The quality of the relationship is as significant to healing as the approach or expertise. Whether your goal is to solve specific problems or discover deeper self-knowledge, I draw on many years of experience to guide this process. My down-to-earth, non-judgmental approach is conducive to building the trust and confidence essential to the therapeutic relationship.

** AT THIS TIME I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS** It can be so overwhelming to look for a therapist. So many options and decisions when you simply want to be helped during a difficult time in your life. You may be feeling stressed, sad, angry or just not yourself. Simply put, therapy is a unique and unusual experience; at times it can feel uncomfortable talking to a person you have just met. I encourage you to email me or call for a phone consultation. There is never any obligation following the phone call. It may be helpful to visit my website.

Are you feeling completely drained - physically or emotionally? Maybe you can’t even remember the last time you felt well rested and stress-free. Living with stress, anxiety, fertility struggles, postpartum changes, cancer, or insomnia is hard enough but doing it while trying to manage all your other responsibilities can be draining. You may sometimes find yourself worrying about things you never used to even think about. The sadness you feel at times can make it hard to imagine reading a book, going out with friends, cooking a healthy meal, working out, sitting through another school play, or telling your partner about your day.

It's ok to ask for help. It's true that I can't erase your past or instantly take away your pain (although I wish I could). However, I can help you carry your burdens more lightly, whether that means adjusting to major life transitions, processing grief, or learning new ways of coping with anxiety. Additionally, I have expertise in health-related issues and enjoy working with clients around eating concerns, chronic illness (cancer, diabetes, etc.) and prenatal/postpartum mental health. I can offer you a new perspective and help you overcome emotional challenges. Therapy is your time to feel supported and understood.

Please Note: I presently am not accepting new patients. If you are managing a recent loss, coping with anxiety, depression or physical illness, it can be helpful to talk to a therapist. I enjoy working with people from adolescent to elder, and with couples of any age. Sometimes anxiety can keep us from accomplishing what we want to in life, or insomnia makes it difficult to engage with the world as fully as we would like to. I have worked with many of these kinds of issues, as well as those experiencing life-changing health problems including diabetes, pain and cancer.
