Marriage Counseling Therapists in Needham, MA

I have been providing outpatient psychotherapy services for 30 years. My office is located in Needham. I concentrate treatment in two areas:

You are calling because you want help, relief, and improvement as soon as possible. I have 35 years of experience specializing in individual therapy, marriage/couples counseling, and sex therapy. Using an integrative approach, we will develop a clear articulation of your problem and a clear plan to get more out of life. We will use techniques addressing anxiety, depression, sexual issues, ineffective communication, self-defeating patterns, feelings of hopeless or sadness. You may know what you are feeling, but not the solution. My job is to relieve suffering and enhance your wellbeing and your relationship with others.

I work collaboratively with adult and adolescent clients in numerous areas: Helping to resolve relationship conflicts and frustrations, depression, anxiety, stress management, trauma, improving self-confidence, finding more meaning and purpose in life, spirituality, grief /loss, parent coaching, couples, and pre-marriage counseling, I have a forward-looking style and try to take a "strengths-based" perspective. My clients would describe me as professional, authentic, calming, playful, and down to earth. I have moved my practice to Telehealth only starting in June 2022.

People come to see me when they feel stuck and have had enough. I help parents help their children; help couples and families get closer and happier; and in general help people successfully resolve issues such as: stress, anxiety, adjustment to new life circumstances (relocation, family changes), relationship issues (divorce, extra-marital affairs, conflict), and dealing with difficult family members. Typical 50 minute sessions don't work for everyone, so I offer longer sessions when appropriate (up to 4 hours), where we use experiential techniques (meditation, sound, movement, Ketamine) to go deeper and facilitate transformation.

Asking for help is the first step in taking care of oneself; something that is very difficult to do. We often struggle with our thoughts and feelings and find ourselves using unhealthy behaviors in an effort to cope with everyday life. I believe that we all want to do better and feel better in our lives and in our bodies and that we can achieve this through a positive, nonjudgmental, therapeutic connection.

I specialize in treating individuals and couples struggling with sexual dysfunction. I strive to help those with sexual dysfunction find balance and satisfaction in their sexual lives as well as their overall functioning.

I work with people who want to improve themselves, their relationships and their self image. These are people seeking a sounding board, a safe confidential place to talk, and extensive knowledge and experience dealing with their issues. My work focuses on where the client is now, and where they want to go, with no pre-conceived notions. We look at past experiences together and how they impact the present. For parents, I offer coaching and suggestions for managing challenging behaviors, and understanding the impact of early childhood trauma of behavior. With younger children, I encourage learning about expression of feelings.

I have practiced clinical psychology for 35 years. I love the process of helping people explore, understand and work through the deepest problems, conflicts and struggles of their lives and relationships. We all struggle: it is the human condition! Every person's life experiences are unique and deeply personal, as are the meanings attached to those experiences. For me the complexities and subtleties of each person's narrative are endlessly varied and fascinating, worthy of the deepest attention and respect. Not many are as privileged in their work as I am!

Are you struggling from sleepless nights and feel like you have "tried everything"? If you are tired of feeling tired and want to improve your sleep, I can help. Imagine what it would feel like to wake up in the morning and feel rested, refreshed, and ready to take on your day. This is possible without the use of prescription or over-the-counter medications. Even if you have trouble shutting your mind off at night, or are coping with anxiety or depression, we can work together to significantly improve your sleep at night. With better sleep comes the strength to tackle your biggest challenges.

Daytime Mon-Tue sessions available now! Welcome to Whole Family Health. I believe that the entire family needs support when something is off balance. I recognize that everyone has their own unique needs and way of operating in the world. Sometimes this doesn't fit the world around us; sometimes that means helping to change the individual and sometimes that means helping to change the world. I hope to be able to sit down and listen to your experience and your needs. We all build our families with hopes and dreams for how we imagine life will be. Sometimes this doesn't go exactly as we planned.

I developed Full Circle after working as a social worker for many years in the fields of surrogacy, infertility and medical social work. I have witnessed clinically, professionally and personally how infertility has impacted the lives of so many women and their partners. On a personal note, my sister experienced four years of infertility which cumulated in many IUI attempts and resulted in a beautiful baby girl being born at the end of 2010-thanks to IVF.

At Child Therapy Boston, we have a passion for working with children, teens, siblings, families and groups. We are confident that we can help individuals and families struggling with diagnoses including ADHD, Anxiety, Mood Disorders, Depression, Developmental Disabilities, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, and Attachment. We enjoy working with clients who are struggling with self-esteem, family relationships, grief and loss, bullying, life transitions, and stress management. We also offer specialized counseling for LGBTQIA+ youth.

Learn strategies for living with less stress, and a greater sense of well-being. Excessive worry, managing work/life balance, dealing with difficult relationships, getting "unstuck" from unhealthy habits, and other challenges can be managed using effective and easy to learn principles and practices. I offer the MINDFUL LIVING WORKSHOP to bring the benefits of Mindfulness Meditation to the rest of the day.

I believe we all have a soul that is radiant and beautiful. Our souls are currently embodied in human form for two reasons: to manifest our soul mission and to experience the fullness of life. If you are not on track with your soul mission or are not getting the desired results in some area of your life, then there must be some type of interference pattern causing a misalignment between the conscious, unconscious, body and/or soul levels. The methodology I developed, Healing from the Body Level Up, clears these interference patterns from all levels quickly, painlessly and permanently.

You want more pleasure, especially sexual pleasure, and a little part of you knows that you deserve it, but something is in the way. Concerned about your sexual performance, feeling uncertain if you're navigating intimacy correctly? Feeling like the flame of passion has died in your relationship, leaving you yearning to reignite it? You might be encountering physical discomfort during sexual activity, experiencing orgasm difficulties, or feeling nothing at all. Maybe you aspire to enhance your skills as a lover but find yourself at a loss on how to start. Whether it's therapy for yourself or with your partner, I've got you.

I am a therapist who pays careful attention to you, who you are, who you want to be, and how you will get there. In therapy, I place primary importance on helping you have the sense that whatever you are going through is more manageable because we are both working on it together. I have been successful in working with many types of individuals, with a large variety of issues. Please explore further down the webpage for some of the most frequent issues and diagnoses I help people with. My office is a place where it is okay to feel any way you feel, think anything you think, and talk through it with another trusted person.

I am a seasoned psychotherapist with forty years of experience helping my clients to improve relationships with their families, partners and co-workers, to be effective in reaching their goals; and to alleviate depression. My style is warm, interactive, and positive, and...I've found that spontaneous humor can often be healing- e.g. full disclosure: my photo is 20 yrs. old! My role is to actively support you in exploring your personal issues. I respect my clients and deeply enjoy my work. Our positive and safe therapist/client relationship is an essential part of resolving your concerns.

Are you going through a divorce, facing a job loss or another stressful life transition? Are you seeking guidance on how to better parent your child or how to navigate a co-parenting relationship with an ex-spouse? Do you find yourself dealing with depression, anxiety, sadness or stress and are looking to talk to someone and help make sense of what you are feeling?

My life’s work is focused on shining the light upon psychological influences that bind us to the past and affect our present life situations in a patterned, repetitive and unconscious ways. I will help you to develop a deeper understanding of your internal conflicts, which will have a positive effect on your overall state-of-mind, mood, emotions, and ultimately your future.
