Adults Therapists in Longmeadow, MA

I currently have openings for individual and couples counseling for adults . Offering in person and telehealth services. I have been in the mental health field for 16 years and am devoted to help others. It takes courage to ask for help and as your therapist, I am dedicated to help you find what you are looking for on your journey for growth. Change can be difficult but I am committed to provide a safe place to help you identify the issues that may be creating unhappiness or struggles in your life.

Life can be overwhelming with its many challenges and stressors. Maybe old patterns that were once adaptive are no longer effective. Maybe you are feeling stuck and disconnected from yourself and others. Maybe you are experiencing a difficult loss or life transition and are struggling with feelings of depression and anxiety. Maybe you just want to feel that you are the author of your own story. It is important to know that you can change the trajectory of your life at any time but you must have a willingness to do the work.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological evaluation. Most referrals reflect concerns around life-long problems as well as recent changes in functioning that concern friends and family. Most of the time, patients and their families/supports are looking for empathy and clarification around real-world problems. This in-depth clarification allows for real-world treatment recommendations that can make a difference. Lengths are taken to minimize time in office. These include telephone and video interviews as well as electronically submitted forms and fact sheets.

My intention is to help people discover lasting pathways to feel better. I will bring my warmth, heart, experience and presence to our unique collaboration as we focus on how you want to feel in your life. I practice a body-centered approach to counseling. Woven through our talking together will be periods of mindfulness and tuning in as a way to deepen awareness, growth and healing. When we have the support we need--we feel more freedom to be ourselves emotionally, intellectually, physically and spiritually. As distortions release--we naturally heal, improve our relationships, and make authentic life choices that feel good.
