In Person Therapists in Lenox, MA
Do you want to transform your life? Do you long to live in a way that’s more vivid, poignant and meaningful? Are you hungry for an authentic connection with others? It’s the key operating systems that run us when we are making dinner, interacting with our family and tying our shoes. Perhaps you are ready for some new ones? Sometimes it takes life falling apart for us to become ready to seek a new path. You need courage to let go of what no longer works and that’s where I can help. I use a lens of core vulnerability to help people understand the role of defense mechanisms and a mindfulness-based approach.

Integrating my training as a clinical psychologist and certified psychoanalyst with 3 decades of coaching & playing competitive soccer, I developed a unique style of integrating my passion for athleticism and team into my psychotherapy and coaching practice. While the quest for understanding the past is important to the process, achieving goals, identifying obstacles, considering options, and defining action steps is the essence of the work. "Trying" is understandable but "Doing" is essential! This approach has been particularly successful with adolescent and adult men.

I founded Blue House Therapy (website under construction but it is up) because I believe we are all worthy of living meaningful and fulfilling lives. I feel so honored to be able to work together with couples and individuals in exploring and writing their next chapter of life. You may be seeking counseling because you are aware there is something standing in your way, we could call this “the problem.” There is a saying that resonates with me, "you are not the problem, the problem is the problem."

People often come to work with me after other treatment approaches have failed to help them get to the root of the problem and achieve the goals they set for themselves. Approaching life with a greater sense of meaning and vitality is possible, but it means cultivating the courage to face the difficult aspects of our experience and find out how and why we've gotten stuck in life. My treatment approach is specifically tailored to each individual's personality and goals to help empower you to approach your life with a fresh perspective, greater understanding, and more reliable tools for approaching your inner life and relationships.

If you find yourself wondering why you have the difficulties that you have and are at a loss for how to effect real change, you are not alone. Our symptoms are most often expressions of the best solutions we can find to cope with our deepest wounds. However, these solutions can become wounds of their own, and often draw us further from the sources of our suffering, leaving us feeling stuck, hopeless and confused.

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 use EMDR, IFS (Parts Work), Brainspotting, Guided meditation, and breathwork as modalities (some of these I only do for in person sessions).
I specialize in helping adults move through challenging transitions and transformations, transcend and heal traumas, and repair pathways for greater resiliency. This allows you to get to know the Self on a profoundly deep level, and to be working in harmony with the functions of your internal system. The tools are already within. Sometimes, we just need to be shown how to access them. I will not be giving you a fish, I will be teaching you to fish. My approach is holistic and individualized to meet your needs. I find the most effective approach is when we combine experiential therapies with talk therapy and rapport.

In my practice I work with people who are struggling with issues that have come up in the course of their living their lives. In this work I focus on helping them take up their authority for their lives again. Together we will put these troubles into context and through understanding one's personal history and current experiences we can begin to resolve troubling thoughts, feelings and/or behaviors.

I provide psychotherapy focused on helping individuals better understand their struggles in an effort to create significant and meaningful change. I work collaboratively with patients to develop a treatment plan and goals for therapy that reflect the singular nature of their experience while providing a safe space to deepen their self-understanding and understanding of their relationships with others. I am primarily focused on the context for and meaning of an individual's struggles as they pursue health.
