Life is too short to be burdened by the negative thoughts and feelings that come with emotional pain. Depression, anxiety, troubled relationships, substance abuse, a negative self- or body-image all greatly limit people's happiness. In a comfortable, confidential setting, we will study together the nature of your suffering and the changes needed for you to enjoy a fuller, more satisfying life. By combining psychodynamic therapy to deepen your self-awareness with mindfulness and cognitive techniques to overcome painful thoughts and feelings, our work will significantly increase your well-being.

Hi! Thank you for reviewing my profile. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who provides psychotherapy services to children, adolescents and adults. I have 25+ years of experience working with people facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, identity issues, grief/bereavement, LGBTQ issues, parenting issues and combinations thereof. I see people as competent, resilient and strong; they may just need some space and skills to tap their potential. I would welcome a call to see if I may be a good fit for you.

Are you going through a life transition? Have you experienced a traumatic event, past abuse, a significant loss, or experiencing a difficult time in your life? Do you want to break down those roadblocks that have prevented you from being the person you always wanted to be, but let someone or something get in the way of your dreams and goals? Does your child or teen seem more sad, anxious, moody, or fearful than usual? Are they having problems at home, school, or in family and personal relationships?

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.

Are you a person who wishes to work through relationship difficulties, trauma, anxiety, depression or self-esteem issues in a practical and compassionate way? Are you interested in a more holistic approach that addresses emotions, cognitions, body armor and inner spiritual resources? If so, we can collaborate to release old patterns and access creative energy, build confidence and insight and enhance work and relational performance. Relationship challenges, PTSD, phobias, mood disorders, transitions, grief and loss, sexual identity issues, and family issues are common areas of concern that can transform through a positive therapeutic experience.

I am a licensed Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with a diverse population including adolescents (age 18+) and adults in individual, family and group therapy modalities. I specialize in treating people with a variety of concerns such as, depression, grief and loss; anxiety, trauma, sexual, physical and emotional abuse; parenting, co-parenting and divorce; male and female maternity issues including perinatal mood disorders, pregnancy loss and infertility, working mother's conflict with work-life balance.

Do you prefer a holistic approach to health and someone who thinks outside of the box? Do you know what you need to change in your life but need some help doing it? I am a clinical psychologist with a therapy practice integrating the mind, body and spirit. I have worked in a variety of diverse clinical settings over the years which ultimately led to beginning my own practice first in Ohio, then Vermont and now Massachusetts. My focus areas include life transitions, stress, trauma and abuse, relationships, GLBTQ, optimal health, geriatrics, depression, anxiety, adolescence, loss and grief.

I am a licensed psychologist with more than 20 years experience, helping people to work through relational and emotional impasses, frustrating and self-defeating patterns, and internal pain, towards awareness and increased enjoyment of life. My approach is eclectic, and I work interchangeably with psycho-dynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and a systems based understanding of each individual or couple.I have expertise working with adults from early adulthood to the elderly, and with couples in conflict. I work actively with my individual and couple clients, and engage them collaboratively and respectfully in the therapy.

I serve a variety. Focusing on early recovery, grief and loss and emotional distress

I approach my clients collaboratively with a warm, accepting and compassionate attitude. I believe developing a trusting relationship is the most effective foundation to approach the hardships and mind habits we all face in life. I use specific CBT and Mindfulness skills to help my clients reduce symptoms and feel better soon. Anxiety, obsessiveness and depressed feelings can be significantly reduced while I teach clients how to govern the mind, creating new habits and strategies. As a practitioner of mindfulness who has attended many Insight Meditation retreats, I can share with you the benefits of attention from both personal and professional experience.

I understand that it can be difficult to ask for help during tough times, especially from someone you don't know. I welcome your phone call. My work with adult individuals and couples through my expertise in stress management and mindfulness enables clients to gain access to the wise, clear thinking and steadfast part of themselves. Through gentle, skilled, compassionate guidance, I help clients gain broad perspectives on their lives, addressing issues of anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, women's issues and growing up in an alcoholic family.

We all encounter challenges in our lives and sometimes require assistance in getting through a rough patch. I am honored to work with individuals seeking a compassionate, interactive and empathetic psychotherapist. By using a collaborative approach, we work together to identify limiting thoughts and beliefs and to reframe them allowing you to create a more empowering and enriching approach to life. With couples, I provide the safe, judgement-free- environment needed to resolve difficult relationship issues and enhance communication skills for you and your partner to use beyond the completion of therapy.

I am not taking on new clients at this time, II am sorry. However, I will continue to see ongoing clients or clients I have seen in the past. If you are someone I have seen in the past, feel free to contact me. I will continue to work with people in helping to them to get through this ongoing crisis as well as the everyday emotional struggles we all can go through in life. We can talk via phone or through Doxy.me. I am only doing virtual therapy at this time.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS (Call back within 24 hours). I purposely went back to school for my second master's in social work and mental health, not to spend all my money, but to learn best how to work with the people in my practice. In my 30 plus years, it's rapport, dedication, agreement and hard work and maybe a laugh or two! Working on feeling better is hard work.

It is my belief that our inherent most natural state is that of joy and well-being. I believe this to be true of everyone. Our life experiences and the beliefs that result often serve to distance us from our innate wholeness contributing to suffering. I see my role as a therapist as joining with you and facilitating your return to wellness through a variety of mind/body approaches. My goal is to meet you where you are and offer guidance as you process,gain insight,and release any obstacles between you and your capacity for living a wholehearted life.

People come to me looking for a better life experience. I believe that we all have inside of us the knowledge we need to meet all our needs, but sometimes accessing that knowledge can be a challenge. Often we repeat self defeating behaviors we have learned that once helped us cope with fears and anxiety, but are no longer working. I have helped many people identify behaviors and beliefs that stand between them and their dreams. Once you have learned to move past them, we will design and execute a vision that fulfills your spirit.

I love my work and am in awe of the adults and adolescents I work with who courageously address the hurts in their life that prevent them from living more fully. It maybe a crisis in a relationship, ongoing anxiety or depression, a painful trauma, or an inner sense that things are just not right. Together we pay attention to these feelings, enabling them to be talked about, more fully experienced and then understood. This transformative process can restore joy and resilience in life, as well as improve the capacity to care about oneself and be in relationship with others.

Anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one understands that healing takes a lot of time and energy. The intensity of symptoms associated with grief can make you feel like you are "going crazy." You aren't going crazy but you may need to talk to someone who understands. Because I am a bereaved parent, I have chosen to focus my private practice in providing care and guidance to those who have experienced loss.
