What makes me unique as a therapist is experience and learning, an innate perceptual ability, and a genuine interest in hu man emotion and interaction.
My ideal client has hope that by understanding their own habitual patterns of thought and emotion they can improve the quality of their lives. It could be a recurrent pattern in a relationship or tendency that is not recognized in other areas. Most of these patterns are unconscious or partly conscious. Everyone has recurrent patterns of thinking and feeling that are just more or less dysfunctional. We tend to repeat what is familiar to us.

I believe deeply in the hu man ability to repair and heal.
I specialize in working with couples who are experiencing difficulties. No partnership is without disappointments, confusion, and an experience of minor or major betrayals. Yet these predictable challenges invite us to broaden our capacity for understanding and enter new depths of intimacy as we repair and heal. As a marriage and family therapist with a focus on sexuality I believe that no matter what the difficulty, we can reshape our relationships to have the kind of deep connections we yearn for. I help couples strengthen relationship skills and develop tools to end negative patterns and establish deep intimacy.

Testimonials: "The Anger Management class was one of the most educational experience I've had in such a short time.
I don’t know exactly where I learned so much about hu man behavior, I think it was between the ages of 14 to 18 when after school I listened to the sad, frightening and unsavory troubles of adults who became my regular callers. The money was appreciated but I was more interested in giving the best advice I could. Post grade school I graduated Boston Latin School and then Boston College. I opened a chain of hair salons and heard more problems. I finished Cambridge College Graduate school with a Master's degree in Counseling and became a licensed MEd, LMHC. My work in a Psych hospital from the bottom to a Director led me here today!

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.
