Couples Counseling Therapists in Massachusetts

With over twenty five years of clinical experience, I help people who struggle with their relationships. Weather you are involved with a complicated parter, struggling in your marriage, dealing with infidelity, co-dependency, or addiction; considering uncoupling, starting over, or grieving the loss of the one you love, I will help you get to the heart of the matter. Then you can heal what you need to heal and make loving and authentic choices for yourself. It IS possible to have happy, healthy, fun, playful and passionate relationships in your life. If that is what your heart desires.I very much look forward to working with you.

I work extensively with mindfulness and guided meditation as a tools for greater self-knowledge and healing. Reactivity to the stressors of life is often based on limiting negative beliefs about self, others, and life itself. We unknowingly pick up such ideas in childhood and hold them as gospel truths, when actually they are lies that keep us stuck. The focus of therapy is to see beyond these false ideas, to loosen the energetic blocks that they cause, and to be free to live the truth of who you really are--beyond your anxiety, depression, compulsive thoughts, or habits. Change is much more possible than you may think!

I have been practicing therapy for more than 30 years and I have found that people enter therapy because they are confused, upset, fearful, sad-- distressed. Distress signals the need for a change.

I want to work in partnership with you to change those feelings and thoughts and behaviors that interfere with fulfilled living, gratifying work, satisfying relationships.

Maybe something has happened. Maybe there has been a change, and you are beginning the work of learning to adapt. Maybe nothing has happened.

I partner with my clients to help them follow this curiosity, and to raise the questions “What am I feeling? What kind of attention is this feeling asking for?”
