Narrative Therapists in Hanover, MA

Currently accepting NEW clients - “Discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime's work, but it's worth the effort” - Fred Rogers. Are you struggling to cope with current life stressors? Do you find yourself worrying about past events and experiencing anxious thoughts or depressive symptoms? Please know you are not alone and there is hope.

There's a sense of disconnection leading you to act in ways that feel inauthentic. Relationships drain all of your energy and you've noticed this pattern repeating itself. You give so much to others only to realize that they’re not emotionally available for you. You're often dismissed and never seem to be anyone's priority. When you think about "healthy relationships" you know it's something you want but you're not really sure what it means or how to get there.

I am a strength based therapist with over 25 years of Mental Health and Substance Abuse treatment. I also am a Certified Problem Gambling Specialist. My treatment is client based and work with my clients to create their own treatment plans. Therapy includes CBT, mindfulness, gentle reprocessing , and other modalities which fit the circumstances of each individual client.

For 20 years I have worked closely and collaboratively with individuals, couples and families to help them develop skills to ease stress, manage difficult emotions, improve communication and strengthen relationships. If you are seeking to discover a deeper understanding of yourself, explore family issues, improve relationships or learn skills to manage complex and challenging emotions I am here to help.

I am a seasoned therapist who can provide you with a full assessment of personal needs, all while developing a treatment plan to address them. I am flexible in my therapeutic technique, with the use of a relational-psychodynamic approach to treatment, allowing for you to feel comfortable and heard. I feel that the therapeutic relationship is critical in helping you achieve your goals.

We all have times in our lives that we struggle, feel stuck, or face challenges. I believe that seeking therapy is a strength and that Therapy is a powerful tool that can result in healing, growth, and positive change.

May and June openings! My practice is dedicated to helping mature women whose lives have been interrupted by trauma. Big Trauma or little trauma, the symptoms are very real. Difficulty sleeping?

The truth about trauma is that it lives in our bodies long after we have experienced the event(s). Talk therapy alone is not enough. Let's work together to reset your nervous system. Learn techniques that will help you manage your symptoms so you can feel better soon!
