Couples Counseling Therapists in Wayland, MA

I have extensive experience and skills with adults dealing with many different challenges and life circumstances. My approach is active, collaborative, and sensitive to each individual or couple's needs and goals, provided within a caring and supportive environment. In a goal focused and collaborative way I help my clients understand and modify ineffective habitual relationships and behavioral patterns. I seek to help clients better understand themselves in the context of their histories.

Perhaps you are seeking therapy due to feeling discouraged because you’ve worked hard to make things better and you haven’t noticed a major difference. Maybe overwhelming events from the past continue to deeply impact you. You could be reaching out because you’re experiencing anxiety, sadness, disconnection from others, difficulty navigating life transitions and managing stress. Maybe you’re aware of your child’s emotional dysregulation and a decline in their school participation. You might desire to have greater self-esteem and more fulfilling relationship , or just to feel more connected to yourself, to grow, and enjoy life.

I am dedicated to helping and encouraging my clients to identify issues/obstacles and work towards applying this knowledge to find solutions and relief. Whether it be anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, sleep problems, stress or just feeling overwhelmed with life, I will listen to and collaborate with you to determine an effective therapeutic path.

I consider it an honor to guide people on their journey through this life, to help them release old patterns of thought, feeling and behavior that interfere with their sense of well-being and wholeness, resolve the effects of lingering pain and/or past trauma, explore what is important and meaningful in their lives, and find new purpose and depth in themselves and in their relationship to the world around them. If you find yourself lost, in your relationships and/or your life, in a world that makes little sense, we can find a path and way of being that feels right for you in the most fulfilling way.

MY PRACTICE IS CURRENTLY CLOSED TO NEW CLIENTS. For over 30 years, I have had the privilege of working with and learning from hundreds of individuals, couples and families as they have wrestled with the personal and professional challenges of their lives. I believe that my clients find me to be very down to earth and human so it is easier for them to open up and be real with me. Every person's story and circumstances are unique but if someone is helped by the work we do together, it is generally because we form a relationship of trust and connection.

My goal is to help clients gain confidence in their ability to handle life's challenges. Through an interactive exchange we will build awareness of how you are currently coping, then work on moving towards more effective ways of being. I have worked for 20 years with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, addiction and personality disorders.

I do not envision an ideal client; I accept people where they are. But if I had to, this person would be open/honest, eager to dive in, and ready to reconsider their prior notions/ideas and behaviors that have not served them. They would practice the discussed changes in their daily lives and report back on their progress during sessions. I would like to assist you in tackling challenging aspects of your life to help you find balance. I am a naturally empathetic person who truly cares for others' well-being. I actively listen to understand and will provide honest but compassionate feedback

I have experience working with Individuals, Couples , and Families of First responders and marginalized communities struggling with the challenges of complex trauma impacting mental health, including Anxiety, Depressive disorders, PTSD, and substance use disorders.
