Therapists in Norwell, MA

All of us experience times in our life when we need a little support due to a life transition, stress, anxiety or depression or just seeking personal growth. I offer a non-judgmental perspective allowing you to build upon your strengths, gain insight and identify patterns to look more closely at, or change. I have worked with a variety of clients and join them "where they are at." I utilize an integrative approach which incorporates solution-focused, motivational, cognitive behavioral and existential theory. My style is interactive and conversational, using humor and the relationship to create trust and safety for growth and change.

The approach I take is a psychodynamic conversation with the individual(s) about what struggles and conflicts are present in their life. The goal of therapy is to identify the patterns of thinking and feeling, (positive and negative) that a person is using to manage the relationships in their life and to discover ways of adjusting those patterns to create a more positive experience of oneself and others. Therapist and client work together to understand and modify habits of thinking, feeling and behaving that create a stronger sense of self and happiness.
