Therapists in Massachusetts

My extensive journey as a counselor has taught me that, wherever one finds oneself in life, lasting change is not only possible, but within reach. Embracing an integrative approach to psychotherapy, I draw upon a rich tapestry of modalities in order to tailor a treatment plan to each individual's unique circumstances. I encourage clients to build upon their own strengths and to tap into their innate desire to flourish. I create a therapeutic space free of judgment or prejudice. I believe that treatment is fundamentally an interactive process in which the client will develop and foster the skills to live fully and with meaning.

Are you seeking to understand yourself better? Are you looking to make sense of your relationship dynamics? Do you wish things were better, but you don't know how to get there? You CAN feel empowered by an expanding of your understanding, gathering insight, and educating the choices you make in how you decide to live your life. I work with couples, and adults to help make sense of obstacles, understand how relationship histories effect life today, and become more comfortable with themselves. This is done in an atmosphere where you are accepted for who you are. We can discuss your goals.

I work with clients about their relationship issues. Sometimes this involves problems with partners, parents, siblings, or children and sometimes this is about the relationship a person has with him/her self. The lack of meaningful/successful relationships is often a factor in people seeking therapy. The ensuing symptoms may be in the form of anxiety or depression. I like to meet with the people involved in the relationship problems, although the therapy often starts with a series of solo appointment. I view initial meetings as a consultation to check out the goodness of fit between a person's needs and my professional skills.

NOW ACCPTING TELEHEALTH APPOINTMENTS. I have been a Clinical Psychologist for over thirty years. Living a professional life in service to others is something I value and enjoy. I work with older adolescents,couples, and families. I received an award from Harvard Pilgrim Health Care for Outstanding Service.

Intimate life partnerships are incredibly important to us. They provide a solid base for all that we do in life, from raising children, to doing our work in the world, to simply enjoying life. When that relationship becomes less than safe and secure, it can throw us into deep distress. We get into arguing, misunderstanding, distancing, emotional pain, fear, confusion, hopelessness or numbing out. Our best attempts to regain a loving connection may not work, or make things worse. This is not uncommon. Couples caught up in repeating patterns of distress and disconnection often need help to get unstuck and reconnected in love.

Do you hold yourself to a different standard than you hold others? Do you often wonder what friends, romantic partners, or bosses see in you? Do you struggle to enjoy or even recognize your own strengths and successes? Do you feel that some patterns of behavior or communication have fallen out of control? Do you struggle to like the person you are in the context of your relationship or past relationships? If you want to break through mental and emotional barriers to enjoying the life you have built, you may be my ideal client.

Beginning counseling or job coaching is an important life decision and a clear sign of one’s underlying health and resiliency. I find, more often than not, that people can be helped to release a level of optimism and resiliency that leads them to new, “do-able” goals and choices. All of this reflects a natural foundation of health, even when we experience such common challenges as depression, conflicts at work, fears, ongoing stress or anxiety. Counseling requires some risk-taking. It also takes a willingness to become more self-aware.

I see individuals, couples, and families. My goal is to provide clients a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship to talk, feel, heal, and change.

Are you suffering from depression, anxieties, relationship problems, fears, self-doubts, or "irrational" worries? Together we will explore ways to help you live with more awareness, more freely, and with more energy for your present.
