UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH Therapists in Hanover, MA

As a mental health counselor for 11 years I have had diverse opportunities to guide individuals through their own journeys towards growth, change and success. During my experience, I have helped older teens and adults who were experiencing issues including anxiety, depression, addiction, bipolar disorder and trauma. My previous work includes adolescent day residential treatment, outpatient substance abuse group therapy and individual therapy, assisting individuals with navigating the behavioral health system and Program Director of Outpatient Services.

Navigating life can be challenging. It's natural to need help at times, and joining with another person in a therapeutic alliance can be just what you need to gain more insight, refocus, and find more balance to live life more joyfully. My intention in psychotherapy is to guide individuals to a clearer understanding of their mental and emotional terrain, how their thoughts and feelings may influence their overall sense of well-being, and to explore new perspectives that may benefit them.

Entering summer, I am anticipating having a limited amount of openings weekday mornings and early afternoons. My approach to counseling is drawn from many different disciplines. I use empathic and deep listening to HEAR my clients. Of most importance to me is working with the client to achieve their goals within our counseling sessions- goals that we set together as we begin our work. I strive to meet the client "where they are" and move them forward to heal, change and grow in positive ways.

Finding a therapist who is the right fit can be the first step toward achieving personal goals and creating positive change in your life. Starting the process can feel overwhelming, but I can help. I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 25 years of experience working with clients on the South Shore. My style is interactive and collaborative, facilitating client growth through problem and goal clarification, improved self-awareness, and the development of coping and wellness skills in a safe, supportive environment. Change is not easy but is entirely possible with a willingness to take action one step at a time.

I specialize in working with adults (18+) who are experiencing issues related to substance use, trauma and PTSD, stress management, depression, anxiety, life transitions and grief. Often people seek treatment when they notice that they are living life that is not consistent with their personal values. My mission is to help you find ways to work through some of the struggles you are experiencing so that you start living life according to those personal values and in turn to feel more positive about yourself. I will work with you to form a treatment plan that best suits your personal values and life goals.

Note: email is the best way to reach me - I'm a Licensed MH Counselor looking forward to helping you (or a loved one) work through difficulties in life. Everyone experiences struggles and challenges in various ways, and my goal is to help you understand the best ways to cope with stressors. My specialties include working with adults/young-adults who deal with symptoms of mood disorders, depression, anxiety/panic, grief/loss, and ineffective or maladaptive coping skills/behaviors. Therapy involves motivation and a willingness to make changes, and I strive to help clients realize their inner-power through encouragement and motivation.

Hello; thanks for viewing my profile. Everyone has an interesting story to tell of how they got to where they are now. Therapy can help change the plot and perhaps develop new chapters. I have been a psychologist for over 25 years- initially in a medical setting and then in private practice. I have expertise working with people with medical conditions as well as with depression and anxiety. I treat couples and individuals ranging from 18 years through the lifespan.

Having someone you trust and who is totally dedicated to your best interest is often the exact thing you need to open yourself up to a new perspective or make an important change in your life. I try to utilize my range of life experiences and education, a fair amount of wisdom and an ability to see effective ways to handle problems and tough situations. Regardless of your circumstances, my full intention will be to create an honest and supportive environment to help you successfully deal with the challenges you face. I see people of all ages and backgrounds.

I am a licensed independent trauma informed mental health clinician and earned my masters degree in Clinical Mental Health at Lesley College in 2000. I provide individual and family therapy to children, adolescents and adults as well as couples work. I strongly believe that developing a trustful and empowering therapeutic relationship is the bases of effective treatment. I believe every client is unique and they bring to the sessions the direction of their change and ability for that change. I believe it is my role to support, understand and empower clients to use their abilities to accomplish each goal they set out for themselves.

We all face difficult challenges in life that can lead to increased stress, decreased functioning, emotional pain, ineffective coping strategies, and interpersonal struggles. Engagement in therapy can provide a safe space to gain the skills and support needed to manage these difficulties and can help us grow into the best version of ourselves. I believe that therapy works to aid in the healing process because we are wired for social connection and thrive when we are able to be vulnerable and feel understood/accepted.

I am a therapist with over 20 years in the field, having treated individuals, families and couples with a very broad variety of issues. I am particularly interested in trauma, and I am trained in various trauma modalities for this reason. Overall, my approach is a strength-based, solution focused, compassionate psychotherapy with my clients.
