Therapists in Topsfield, MA

*** Due to upcoming maternity leave (7/19/21) not accepting new clients. Please check back in December 21'***Everyone deserves a meaningful life. No matter how difficult it may be to picture that for yourself, it is possible. Struggling through your daily life can feel exhausting, disappointing, & frustrating. Maybe you're feeling a lack of control, purpose, or direction in your life. You may have even tried to develop tactics on your own to address these unpleasant thoughts & negative behavioral patterns, but have continued to suffer silently, experience setbacks, & worry that you will never be free from this pain & discomfort.

I am an experienced, licensed clinician in private practice, and faculty member of the C.G. Jung Institute of Boston. I specialize in working with adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, emotional and sexual trauma, and relationship issues. My approach is to listen carefully to your concerns, support areas of strength and resilience while discovering new inner resources and understandings that are often transformative. Patients and couples find me to be caring, non-judgmental, and pragmatic. I value the relief of suffering while working together to shift longer-term impediments to your quality of life and successful living.

Do you feel like other people are having a better experience in life than you are? Do you have the idea that you're experiencing more stress, more dissatisfaction, facing more issues? Would you like to get along with your children or parents better, or develop the relationship with your partner? Are you trying to figure out these things on your own? Many find it difficult to turn to someone else to get help with what we feel we 'should' be able to manage alone. Truth is, we're meant to seek out support from those around us.

Life is sometimes difficult. If you realize that you are hurting and find that life is just not the way you would like it to be, it would be my pleasure to help you to find renewed hope in the midst of the challenges. Situations such as anxiety, panic, trauma, depression, challenges with relationships and tough memories related to childhood abuse can be worked through. These--and many other concerns--are all good reasons to begin a journey toward a more meaningful and purposeful life. I will offer you empathy, creativity and humor in the midst of the process.

Are you having difficulties managing your stress, avoiding social interactions due to anxiety, second guessing yourself and feeling you are not connecting with others or feeling supported? Stress and anxiety are the most common struggles we endure as human beings. Our thoughts, how we react to our thoughts, how we control our thoughts and how we feel about our thoughts is the first step in changing our ways of thinking and in turn, changing how we feel. Thoughts, feelings and actions are all interconnected. This is the starting point.

**04.2021** **Currently NOT Accepting New Patients** I use an eclectic mix of modalities and interventions. My clients find me to be warm, compassionate and caring. A few things set me apart, I provide my clients with tools, give homework and tell it like it is. I specializes in helping people get unstuck; from a behavior or way of thinking. I work well with people who are stuck in depression, anxiety or recovering from trauma, healing from divorce ( adults and children), and those who want to change the dynamic of an unhealthy relationship. I am also a divorce/family mediator and offer those services as well.

Life at times can be challenging. Life transitions, parenting, marriage, relationships or unanticipated life events such as loss of a loved one, an illness, divorce, or job loss can feel overwhelming and difficult to manage. These challenges can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, isolation, self-doubt or result in unhealthy relationships or behaviors. Sometimes, a past or present trauma can start to feel disruptive or childhood issues can unknowingly impact the present. Therapy can help find a way to better cope with these challenges by learning how to manage overwhelming emotions and change negative beliefs that effect our relationships and well being.

With over 35 years of experience in the field of mental health, I am interested in working with issues related to performing arts and relational difficulties. At Boston Children's Hospital Medical Center and Landmark School, I developed specialties in eating disorders, trauma and illness exacerbated by stress, and learning disabilities. "Jennifer was very professional and insightful, great with couples therapy as she doesn't take sides and helps each person understand the other's feelings and behaviors. I highly recommend her."

I have worked with adults, children, and families for many years, in educational and therapeutic capacities. Everyone experiences anxiety or unhappiness, from time to time; my goal is to help you, your child or family to overcome the difficulties you are experiencing. I will assist you to articulate and meet your individual goals, while focusing and building on your strengths, or those of your child.

I've been in private practice for 34 years. I've had extensive training in both theoretical and didactic psychotherapy. An important part of my training was my own work and research in understanding myself and my marriage and other important relationships. This is why I think I am so confident at being both a couples therapist and an individual therapist. I believe this is primarily an educational process or a re-educational process.

**Not currently taking new clients.** Working to help clients actualize and move toward their goals through mindfulness, DBT and narrative therapy.

I am currently taking new clients to treat depression, anxiety, most psychiatric disorders, sobriety maintenance, relationship issues, life transitions, behavior changes needed for wellness and health, stress management. I work with individuals of college age and up; with parents, family members and couples struggling with mental health and substance use disorders and recovery. I provide consultations to individuals and families who are experiencing mental health, school and behavioral issues for the first time, to provide information re: utilizing community and clinical resources and potential treatment options.

* CURRENTLY FULL * Navigating life, relationships & loss can often be a complicated and overwhelming process but connecting with a experienced therapist shouldn’t be another challenge. I know the courage it takes to reach out and the rewards available in finding the right fit. Our time together can help you gain more knowledge, awareness, skills, empowerment and communication so that you can stay grounded while growing around change, loss and hardship. Together we will build from your strengths, while nurturing your unique path and best self.

My background is working with adults who are having difficulties with life stress, depression, and anxiety. Clients like my approach because I am interactive and bring humor to our work together. I tend to be flexible in my approach because I believe that each person needs to follow their own path and needs different things to get there.

**I am not taking new clients at this time** My hope for the individuals I work with is that they feel welcomed, comfortable, and empowered. I have over 10 years of experience working with children (as young as 2) and families, using play therapy and parent coaching. More recently I have enjoyed working with other populations as well, including young/transitional age adults, and postpartum parents. I think it is very important to work with family and support systems and I welcome family members to join sessions if and when appropriate. I am ready to support you on your journey.
