Men's Issues Therapists in Mattapoisett, MA

I am licensed in Massachusetts with 9 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, parenting issues, self esteem, confidence and motivation issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

I work with individuals who are seeking support and counseling for issues related to problematic alcohol and substance use, addictions, and other behaviors. Many of my clients come for counseling after receiving inpatient or intensive outpatient services, or who identify as being in recovery and have been experiencing challenges such as stress, cravings, or lapses.

We all experience it at one time or another...that feeling of "being stuck". It could be in our career, our job, in college, our relationships, or our health. No matter if it's in one area of life or several, these difficulties can leave us with a loss of purpose, drive, and self-confidence, making us even less prepared to help ourselves get unstuck and move forward. As a licensed counselor for over 20 years, I have worked with hundreds of individuals and couples to support them in navigating their problem areas, finding their own solutions, and experiencing desired personal growth.

There are many ways people get stuck in their daily lives. It may be transitioning from one phase of life to another, dealing with a trauma, working through issues related to Military or Police or Public Service, addressing identity, or one of the countless other reasons you are not where you want to be. Be it online, face-to-face or a blend of the two; let me help you get unstuck and on the road to where you are meant to be.

I am compassionate and empathic, utilizing a holistic approach with a strong emphasis on nature, humor, and spirituality, to empower people to accept themselves for who they are, to love themselves more fully, and to create successful strategies to enhance as well as sustain more meaning in their lives.

I work with people who have a variety of mental, emotional, and behavioral health issues, such as depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, trauma histories, and schizophrenia, as well as with people who have substance abuse issues. These issues could be situational in nature, or they could be chronic conditions that have been troubling for some time.
