Feeling stuck? I base much of my approach on the idea that we are not programmed to be our own best friends, and that gets in the way. Our minds' default settings are not usually set up for us to feel extra self-confident, extra self-compassionate, or extra calm when the storms roll in. Life generally doesn't let us off the hook very easily, but if we can learn to look at things in new ways, we can find peace in knowing that we are doing the best we can with what life has dealt us.

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.

I'm also informed by a number of other approaches/frameworks including Attachment Theory, Motivational Interviewing, ACT, Polyvagal Theory and many more.
People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Since the pandemic, isolation, stress, loss, anxiety, depression, addiction or struggles to get through the day have become increasingly common. Therapy can be a place to develop more effective coping skills and learn new behaviors. It can also be a place to heal trauma, grow in compassion and unburden beliefs that no longer serve us. I offer a gentle, engaging, non-judgmental approach to therapy that meets people where they are while also offering a supportive direction for moving forward.

In life everyone experiences adversity, which sometimes is difficult to manage alone.
I use an approach that is both client-centered and evidence-based. I let the client guide me where they want to go and what they want to achieve through treatment. Everyone has strengths that can be used to better manage their concerns. From my perspective progress in treatment is wholly determined by the individual.

My 14+ years working in a therapeutic milieu as well as my time in private practice working with individuals, couples and families has contributed to developing an approach that seeks to help clients better navigate their systems (Families, Schools, Jobs, Relationships, Peer groups, etc.) as well as the issues they might be struggling with individually. Incorporating cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, narrative and mindfulness based techniques, I strive to help the people I work with develop coping skills, improve self esteem/assertiveness, reduce anxiety/depression, cope with loss and trauma as well as improve relationships and overall sense of well being.

Everyone hopes to find a Therapist they will match well with in terms of personality and professional style, especially when they are suffering. Deep listening, compassion, and promotion of self-care and coping are values at the center of my practice. I attune topics and activities toward those that the client is most interested in exploring. Integrated Relational Therapy is the holistic, versatile framework that I use to meet teen and adult clients "where they're at" to address issues like trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, relationships, and addiction; through individual, family, and couples counseling.

Have you worked for years only to realize you're unhappy with where you are? Do you feel angry when you get up in the morning? Are you going through job or family or relationship changes and feel like your life has gotten away from you? Are you facing major life upheavals - medical diagnosis, job changes, divorce, family crisis - and don't know how to get a handle on them? Life changes are challenging, but how we handle them is always within our power to choose. If you know you want to feel better about yourself and your life but are not sure how, I want to work with you.

In addition to extensive training, my work is also informed by many rewarding life experiences.
Imagine sharing your most private thoughts and feelings, safely, and without risk, so that you get to know yourself more deeply. Neuroscience teaches us how emotions affect our behavior, how they are stored in the body, and how negative emotions can be healed. In my work, I utilize techniques that focus on the relationship and the feedback mechanisms between the mind and the body in order to promote deeper and more complete healing. I also help couples and families recognize patterns of behavior that contribute to misunderstanding, tension and conflict. My intention is to create a safe space that is non-judgmental, welcoming and warm.

I work with all couples - married and unmarried, premarital and divorcing, heterosexual and same sex. I work actively to explore areas of dissatisfaction, identify obstacles to change, and find ways to overcome them. I offer to meet with all couples for a brief evaluation, designed to determine whether treatment is indicated and to quickly identify key problems, strengths and promising directions for treatment. I strive for the shortest course of treatment that accomplishes clients' goals. If a couple is in acute crisis, I make every effort to see them on an intensive basis initially until the immediate crisis is stabilized.

Some of us need help managing strong feelings, but we can learn to accept and tolerate them, too.
My client is the expert on my client and my job is to help unlock their innate wisdom. Our troubles are the side effects of adaptations forged by hardship, and we can change them using strengths in ourselves, families and community. Feeling more connected to others involves communication skills, and tolerance for irritation and vulnerability (inevitable in close relationships). Therapy can help you hold your pain differently. You can feel better living with your past, instead of waiting to get rid of it. I help clients to address spiritual roadblocks and to help build a fulfilling and meaningful life, with the pain.

I believe that every hu man is on a challenging, exciting, complex, and unique journey through life, and that each of us need different types of support to make this adventure the best it can be. As a therapist, it’s my primary joy to walk alongside you on your path to heal wounds, amplify your current strengths, cultivate new ones, strengthen your relationships, set and achieve personal goals, and, importantly, find opportunities to find joy along the way. This can include working to reduce anxiety and depression, navigating family relationships and/or systemic oppression, processing and mitigating the impacts of trauma, etc.

Many of my clients might consider themselves psychologically minded, insightful, and eager to work on self-exploration. My therapeutic approach is influenced by my background in life coaching, which brings a practical, solution-focused quality to the work we would do together. Paired with a process that slowly unwires conditioned patterns and facilitates courage, clarity, and self-understanding, the navigation of your internal and external worlds can become more peaceful and fulfilling. I frequently work with current or aspiring therapists, coaches, artists, creatives, wellness practitioners, and high achievers of all kinds.

Trust is essential & develops when you feel heard. Change will follow.

I look forward to the chance to explore with you if I might offer the right fit for what you're looking for! I am also now (as of 3/18) screening for ' Men In Connection,' a Men's therapy group meeting in Northampton (see flyer).
Psychotherapy is incredibly helpful not just in managing mental health diagnoses such as Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, etc., but it is also a powerful support in navigating the ways in which we can all get stuck in undesired and unhealthy patterns in our lives and relationships. My goal is that your experience of therapy is one in which you feel deeply heard and understood, challenged in healthy ways, and safe and comfortable to explore a wide range of thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a neutral and non-judgmental setting.

As a psychodynamic therapist, I specialize in helping adults, adolescents and couples make sense of their inner worlds. My goal is to collaborate with clients to gain autonomy of their emotional lives, foster deep psychological awareness/flexibility and facilitate observable change in how they relate to themselves and others. Clients can expect a highly active, curious and reflective environment in session, where they are challenged and encouraged to develop insight as a primary mechanism of behavioral change.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
