Life transitions are inherent in the human experience. Sometimes we are resilient and are able to navigate life’s’ difficulties and other times we need to talk to someone who can truly hear us. I offer individual, family and couples counseling for adults of any age and provide a safe, supportive and empathic setting in which you will feel respected and heard regardless of race, gender identity/expression and sexual orientation.

Hello, I am a somatically-oriented therapist specializing in body-based healing. I have 20+ years of experience working with many populations and conditions. Recently (5 yrs) I have specialized in couples therapy using the Developmental Model and Attachment work. With couples, I facilitate the use of in the moment real interactions to help them create a securely functioning relationship. I also enjoy supporting individual clients to live the most vital and joyful life they can. I support people dealing with concerns around aging, body-image, sexuality, chronic pain, relationship struggles, anxiety, and trauma.

NCYF offers a wide range of clinical options to children and families. All of our clinical services are informed by evidence-based practices and services are delivered in a way that focuses on compassion and a respect for an individual's past trauma.

I have been a psychotherapist for over 30 years and believe that all therapy is about helping clients find the fullness of their own inner voice, source of inspiration and strength. We all need help sometimes; someone to listen, remind us of our highest potential, mirror our blind spots and support us through difficult life changes. I can help clients move through old self defeating patterns and traumatic memories and learn to focus in the present where all change occurs. I use mindfulness-based psychotherapy which has been known to help with anxiety, depression, and difficult life transitions.

***NOW ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS *** As the owner of Center for Perinal Wellness, I believe when a mother struggles, the whole family does also. I specialize in perinatal mood complications, such as Postpartum Depression and Anxiety. A new child changes so much about how a family functions and sometimes families need some help navigating those waters and I am happy to help you do just that. We use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Cognitive Restructuring exercises in the therapeutic approach, but never encourage a path that a client isn't comfortable with.

It is our birthright to know who we truly are and experience our lives to their fullest potential. Each of us has a story, actually many stories, that reveal beliefs we hold about ourselves and the world. These stories and beliefs often stand in the way of expressing our full potential and experiencing the present moment more deeply. Within a supportive, judgment-free space, I help adults, couples, and adolescents claim their strengths and talents, and construct belief systems to support them so they can be shared with the world.

***Seeing clients by telehealth only - no current available appointments*** Through our work together, I want all of my clients to know two things; one is that they have value that cannot be taken away by anything or anyone and the other is that they do not have to struggle with mental health issues alone. Therapy is the place where you can be authentic and honest about struggles and can feel validated and heard rather than judged or dismissed.

Most people come to counseling because they want something to change in their lives, but they don't know how to achieve it and they need support along the way. My goal as a therapist is to guide you and support you to take actions for yourself that will improve your situation. Whether you are struggling with a life transition, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, trauma in the recent or distant past, or grieving a loss there are things you can do to reduce discomfort and start moving forward.

—Now Accepting Telehealth Clients— Now accepting MA Health- There are many reasons to seek out therapy including persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, fear and the pain of traumatic experiences. You are the expert regarding your life and in treatment we will work together to create a therapeutic environment that supports personal growth, self fulfillment and healing. I believe strongly in client autonomy and see my role as a supportive professional who will collaborate with you to develop a working relationship that promotes the safe and respectful exploration of your unique life challenges.

We're fortunate to be in a time where there is so much access to good psychological information. But there can also be a lot of pressure to figure things out on our own and get things right. Therapy can be enormously helpful in gaining clarity about what we think and feel and identify what is important to us. With clarity it is easier to make choices or change or even let go of some of the things that have been holding us back.

I have enjoyed practicing psychotherapy for 25 years now. It is a great privilege to work with individuals from all backgrounds who are courageous enough to share the most intimate details of their lives and work towards self-improvement. I specialize in working with adults with a wide range of concerns, and am skilled in several theoretical frameworks including EMDR. In addition, as a licensed attorney and certified mediator with 6 years experience as a guardian ad litem determining child custody issues, I can help divorcing couples mediate and develop parenting plans to avoid high litigation costs.

I have a passion for helping people who are in a time in their lives when extra support, guidance and help could really improve their lives. My goal is to work with the person, who attends counseling with me, to help make their lives better in any way that I can. I have experience working with people who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, coping skill development, eating disorders, self esteem, family conflict, addiction & anger management problems. I work one on one, with couples and with families. I primarily work with adults over the age of 21.

Accepting new clients. I have 15+ years working with individuals and families exploring and addressing life stressors and transitions. My practice is telehealth only. I work with adults to reduce anxiety and manage stress negatively impacting living. I help parents develop skills to address a child's social, emotional and behavioral needs within a developmental framework. I support families navigating the complexities of the senior aging process with a focus on well being, managing emotions and maintaining joy in the family.

Our journey through life is mysterious and filled with twists, turns, and detours that we cannot always understand. The desire for health, connection, and well being are inherent in the process of development and life itself. Therapy is one vehicle that facilitates growth and helps us get back on a path that feels more joyful and expressive of who we really are. Within the context of a safe,re-assuring, holding environment,our organisms can relax and allow patterns of negativity to show themselves. These patterns can then be gently expressed, inquired about, and released if they no longer serve our growth.

Do you struggle with managing the challenges of everyday life because of overwhelming stress, anxiety, and/or depression? Are you constantly on edge, struggle to get out of bed due to fatigue, or stay up all night thinking about the past or future? Do you fear that you're not where you want to be in your life, and you're unsure as to how to get there? You're not alone and there is hope. On average, one in five adults and one in six children and adolescents, experience mental health struggles. Left untreated, mental health challenges can lead to financial loss, job instability, and relationship difficulties.

*Telehealth sessions available* If you are like most people, your efforts toward overcoming difficulties on your own sometimes fall short. Maybe you know things could be better if you could get through a difficult transition, change a negative pattern, or overcome some relationship difficulty. It can also be difficult to be aware of how poor sleep is affecting your days. Whether you're having difficulty with stress, anxiety, sleep, work, school, relationships, or something else, you deserve to have someone help you live with greater ease. Engaging in therapy with a calm, supportive, and encouraging therapist can be the difference.

*I am not currently accepting new clients* I help clients find ways to be present, accepting, adventurous and to have a more inclusive experience of living. I work with adults and teens struggling with a wide range of challenges including mood concerns, addictive behavior, trauma, life transitions, and relationship issues. I support clients in becoming curious about their feelings, interrupting and shifting patterns that are no longer serving them and engaging in new ways of thinking, feeling, acting and meaning-making.
