I'm a licensed and board certified psychologist (ABBP-Counseling) specializing in individual therapy with adults in Boston, MA. I earned the Ed. D in Counseling Psychology at the UMASS-Amherst in 1980 and have been a licensed & practicing psychologist since 1981. I earned the MFA (Creative Writing, Literature & Publishing) from Emerson College-'94. It's challenging to work with people who are eager to express their creativity. My nearly 30 years as a forensic psychologist affords me insights to help those coping with legal issues, grief, loss, relationship and career stress.

These times are hard. The impact is felt by everyone, but even more so for people who struggle with other things as well.

Is there a disconnect between you & your partner(s) when it comes to your sex life? If so, please don't wait to get support! Because we're taught so little about sex, many of us shy away from the topic, but that just worsens things. Sex can start to feel like a chore and lack of sex can become the elephant in the room. It can even cause the end of your relationship if left unaddressed long enough. Before I became a sex therapist, I also found myself in this situation in my long-term relationship. But after 10,000 hours of coaching and counseling clients and becoming an AASECT certified sex therapist, I am confident I can help!

I believe psychotherapy is first about listening and endeavoring to understand each individual and the experiences that have shaped their life. As the therapist, I bring and shape the skills that I have acquired to assist each client in the resolution of their individual challenges. I understand that successful psychotherapy is determined by trust established between the therapist and client within the therapeutic relationship. Throughout my life an career I have come to understand this that pain is an inevitable part of all of our lives, but suffering does not have to be; we can all find our way back to joy and fulfillment.

I've been in private practice since 1980 - and I love my work, probably even more than then. My clients are mostly adults, with an occasional primary school age or adolescent child. As psychotherapy has become more accepted, older adults have become more likely to come as individuals and occasionally with a partner and/or adult child. It's wonderful to see people grow and be relieved of their emotional burdens - Freud didn't believe it was possible to do psychological depth work after mid-life, but was he ever wrong!

I am always curious about how we become who we are and as someone once told me, “A person who enters therapy is an experience that wants to happen not a problem to be solved.” My focus is to encourage people to stay curious and open to possibilities of learning more about themselves, creating a supportive safe environment that supports positive movement and change. I stress the importance seeing oneself fully, psychologically, physically and spiritually. All these are important ways of supporting one’s life. I see myself as warm, present, accessible and being of help to accomplish this.

I currently work with only adults and couples. I work with clients who need to work on symptoms such as anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, academic problems, anger management, bereavement and grief issues, communication problems with family members and partners, self-esteem, separation and divorce, sleep disturbance, work stress, and much more. I use Cognitive behavioral therapy, systems approach, relaxation, and guided imagery. I also provide assertiveness training. I also use Clinical Hypnosis for weight loss, smoke cessation, nail biting, and other behavioral changes. I also do Christian counseling with focus on spirituality.

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!
