Parenting tends to stimulate buried emotional wounds.
I view therapy as a creative, collaborative process that facilitates both change and self-acceptance. As a therapist, I create a curious, nonjudgmental space in which we can jointly explore your past and present experience. Our work aims at a deeper understanding of the circumstances that led you to therapy--perhaps painful ways of relating to yourself, to others, or to work. We will work toward helping you grow beyond the patterns or obstacles that have felt limiting so far--and toward helping you realize a more spacious, hopeful, and fulfilling experience of yourself and relationships.

Parent Counseling which is where I help the parent understand themselves better.
I work with children, adults and parents. When working with adults, I take an integrative approach where I combine several traditional mental health therapies with energy psychology, somatic healing, oracle cards and Reiki. I work with adults around sadness, stress, trauma and healing old wounds. I help adults discover where their patterns and blocks come from and help them shift and heal so they can live a happier, more authentic life. The integration of the energy psychology, mind body approaches and Reiki moves the needle so much more than talk therapy alone. I consider myself spiritually friendly and welcome all.

In the long run, the best therapist for your child is you, the parent.
Treatment is results oriented, which means we work together at the beginning to define the changes that are meaningful to you. In a basic sense, psychotherapy is for thinking about feelings. We are all part of systems, be they family, work or society. The outcome is more freedom to be yourself. All inquiries referrals scheduling by phone: please call 508.885.3861. Repeat your calls (on the hour) to reach me quickest in person. No written messages! No computer inquiries!

At Growing Roots Child Therapy I offer parent consultations and see children 0-8 years old.
For young children, behavior is a way to communicate needs. When complex emotions arise through challenging behaviors, parents may be left feeling unsure how to respond. Does your child seem overly anxious? Are they highly distressed when separated from you or more withdrawn than you'd expect? Maybe they've experienced a traumatic or scary event, a significant loss, or you’d like to prepare them for a family life change. Are you an adoptive or foster family wanting help with bonding and building secure attachment? Do you hope to gain clearer insight into your child’s needs and support them through a stressful time?

In your relationship with work or money, a friend or a spouse, a child or an aging parent, your body or spirit, your home or natural landscape, you deserve optimal insight and support.
Being a therapist is a true privilege. In the relaxed and safe atmosphere of my office , clients feel free to explore their deepest feelings, dreams, and real lifechallenges. Together, in a spirit of honesty,we laugh,we cry and we problem solve. Most of us want things to change, but we often don't want to change anything. To choose trust not fear, we must first explore the past, not to linger there, but to explain some of our personal choices and current challenges with relationship. With the strength of new awareness and insight, clients move forward in a most positive way.

I have expertise in the areas of eating and body image issues, LGBTQ+ sexualities, trauma, parenting, reproductive health, HIV/ADIS.
I am an institute trained psychotherapist, working integratively, within a contemporary, relational, psychodynamic orientation. After more than two decades of practicing in New York City, I am now located in Western Massachusetts, though I maintain NY licensure. For me, at the heart of a relational, psychodynamic, approach is my effort to strive to meet people where they are and make the work understandable and accessible based on who you are. I respect and build upon the ways in which I am invited to join and help expand psychic space, so that areas which are troubling can be demystified, transformed and feel less daunting.

My work is strength based, empowering people to meet personal goals, improve relationships and develop a more comfortable, meaningful life. I attend to the mind body connection.
