My ideal client is actively contemplating making changes in their life. They are prepared to discuss, explore, and process their trauma history and to find meaning in their experiences. They are able to work towards identifying how they would like to see their quality of life change (for example, reduce and better manage anxiety) and are prepared to take the necessary steps to do so. Additionally, the client can tolerate being challenged when their thinking or behaviors are inconsistent with their goals.

I am here to support you by providing effective, evidence-based therapy in a comfortable setting.

I have been in private practice in Westfield since 1995 with an emphasis on adolescents and adults in need of help coping with life's stressors. These stressors include, but are certainly not limited to depression and anxiety, developmental issues,school anxiety and school refusal, women's issues, parenting difficulties and social issues to name a few. Women in particular often cope with a great deal of stress related to work, family,loss and from time to time, serious illness. These strains can become overwhelming and coping may become difficult and sometimes impossible to do alone.

Truth is essential to our mental integrity. Full access to the "truths" embedded in our personal stories and the emotions, beliefs and healthy impulses they engender make us "whole". They form the basis of our identity, resilience, self-worth; our very well being. The problem: our "truths" sometimes appear overwhelmingly painful, disheartening and/or terrifying, particularly if safe/trustworthy people haven't been available to help. In order to cope, real feelings are buried, "looking good" facades created and the past (consciously) ignored. Unfortunately, dissociating these truths creates a life that lacks choice and is instead stubbornly ruled by the past.

I bring intention, patience and hope into my work as a therapist and try my best to inspire you to do the same. I like for you to feel secure and comfortable when you come into my office; and empowered and satisfied when you leave. My sessions are free of judgments, and spent building a foundation where progress toward your goal(s) can be made. Regular day-to-day obligations can easily interfere with our best intentions. Identifying and expressing your goal(s) is the first step. I would embrace the opportunity to work with you.

"I'm so overwhelmed." "I'm not coping well." "I am so alone." "I'm really scared." "I feel I have no control." "I'm so angry." "I'm trying really hard to stay positive, (or sober/clean), but I don't know how much longer I can". Do any of these resonate with you? If you are finding it hard to feel grounded or connected, please know you are in no way alone. If managing daily uncertainty & unknowns have affected you emotionally and physically, mind and body both need your special attention. Navigating life transitions is challenging. However, our toughest challenges present opportunities for extraordinary growth.

I believe that psychotherapy and coaching are gifts you give yourself. For the past 20 years, I have helped many competent, well-educated men and women whose lives, while "good on paper," are unsatisfying. They feel empty despite successes and have difficulties maintaining healthy relationships with loved ones. My clients feel stuck in their lives and want to make productive changes. I help them examine the ways they repeat the patterns which only lead us to disappointment. I can help you identify these roadblocks to happiness and guide you to create the life you want and deserve.

Have you started to feel stressed, tired, bored, and unloved? Are you struggling to feel “good enough” to just go to work, being in a relationship, or having fun seems IMPOSSIBLE? Life must feel hectic and overwhelming! Slowing down to find balance is not working. Carrying on with the pain, hurt, and disappointment became “too much”. You are getting into arguments and fights with family and friends. You take it to work and are no longer being productive. You decide that this version of you is not working out anymore. You want to feel happy, calm, in control. You want to feel loved and excitement.

The client might be processing loss or grief from a loved one or past friendships and or relationships. My ideal client will have needs such as needing to identify coping skills to get through life stressors, assistance with reaching goals.

Life can be pretty difficult at times; however, therapy provides an opportunity to find utility in strategies for negotiating stress. With over 10 years of clinical experience, I strive to provide both evidence based and culturally competent treatment for a wide range of individuals. Additionally, I incorporate salient aspects of current research while also considering the impact of culture (i.e., race, gender, ability, spirituality, sexual orientation). We will work collaboratively towards accomplishing your goals for treatment while also exploring individualized factors connected to the objectives.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
