Adults Therapists in Newton, MA

Life can be stressful, chaotic, and overwhelming. Transitions such as college graduation, a new job, separation or divorce, a significant loss, or becoming a new parent can add to our already complicated and stressful lives. Acknowledging that you need help and taking the step of finding a therapist is not easy. It takes both strength and courage. My goal is to help my clients on their personal journey. I believe the power of the therapeutic relationship is what ignites understanding, acceptance, healing, change, and growth.

I practice a psychodynamically informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that incorporates mindfulness and radical acceptance. I work with adults 23 + experiencing challenging life events, or struggling with anxiety or depression. I have expertise in perinatal mood complications (depression and anxiety disorders ), infertility, and pregnancy loss.

My ideal client is a person dedicated to making positive changes in her/his life. These adjustments may be as simple as a new hair style or as complex as the mother-daughter relationship. the decision to marry, to break up or to change careers. I look to a client's fantasy life, as well as values, education, financial constraints, support system and motivation for clues on where to focus to achieve a positive outcome! I work with adults and mature adolescents. Clients expecting therapists to fix their problems should not come to me. I try to tap into a person's own inner resources to achieve meaningful change.

I am glad to support those struggling in today's strange climate, or those looking to explore themselves and increase health and wellness while quarantined. My approach to treatment is strength based and multimodal. I use a holistic approach that can incorporate discussion, art, movement and humor to explore issues. I work well with those who have had trouble connecting with therapists in the past and those who may be resistant to entering treatment.

(New clients welcome...) Things happen, and they happen all the times, whether or not we are aware. We act out when we don't get what we want and when we get what we don't want. Sometimes we act out in ways that are self-sabotaging. We get overwhelmed at work and in relationships. All this is normal and yet limits one's potential to be successful and happy.

I am a clinical psychologist specializing in treatment for adults coping with anxiety, depression, eating disorders and other health related issues.

I work closely with clients to learn ways to tolerate distress and regulate their emotions while learning to recover from difficult experiences.

We often become stuck in unhealthy thinking patterns or habits, which can be the result of difficult past experiences or phase of life stressors. However, I believe everyone has the ability to achieve desired change. The client-worker relationship is important to me, and I begin working to develop a meaningful connection through understanding the specific needs of each person I work with.

As a thirty year veteran in Clinical Social Work, I worked for many years at the premier Harvard teaching hospital for Psychiatry in Boston.. I am an eclectic therapist. My clinical work is based upon a psychodynamic foundation to which I have integrated Cognitive and/or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness and Relaxation Training, Family Systems Models and Coaching. In my initial assessment and subsequent work with each individual, I strive to listen as closely as possible to the feeling experience of the client and help each person develop an understanding and perspective of their life experience.

What if you could start feeling better? I would love to support and explore how we can make change happen for you. Maybe you are tired of managing those racing thoughts on your own or struggling to figure out the best next step for your career or relationship - either way I can help. I work with clients whose anxiety/depression has made it difficult to get the most out of their day. Together, we can work to figure out how to feel less overwhelmed and more empowered to do what you want to do without the worry getting in the way.

[Full as of 3/1/22] Freedom is a lifelong pursuit. Psychotherapy is one way to pursue expanded freedom and pleasure in work, creativity, and relationships. I create a nurturing environment in which to explore everything keeping you stuck in repetitive patterns. I combine exploration and insight with actionable plans to make an immediate impact on problems. Whether the problem is practical or existential, I will work with you to discover your personal road map to thriving. Health is the ability to respond with flexibility and grace to the challenges of life, something I believe is possible for every client.

My specialty is working with young to older adults experiencing Anxiety, Depression, Relationship Issues, Life Transitions, Grief & Loss, Chronic/Terminal illness, and/or Addiction.
