Therapists in Great Barrington, MA

You may be struggling with a life transition, a recent loss, or long standing depression. Perhaps, intimacy and positive, productive communication with others is a challenge. A comfortable relationship with a skilled, non-judgmental therapist is invaluable. I am a licensed independent clinical social worker and certified psychoanalyst. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. Together, we can gain insight into your inner conflicts and the external events that overwhelm you. This understanding opens the path to making better choices that lead to personal growth and satisfaction, and enhanced inner comfort.

I work with individuals & families who yearn for deeper, more satisfying connections to themselves, each other and the earth.
