Teletherapy for 02116

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.

Therapy is a creative process we can embark on together. While change is truly hard work sometimes, as an experienced individual therapist and group facilitator, I strive to provide a compassionate and validating therapeutic environment while establishing a clear set of objectives allowing you to track, quantify, and celebrate your achievements as you progress. I reserve a portion of my practice for clients who utilize insurance and/or who reside in Massachusetts and offer convenient virtual coaching and consulting services elsewhere on a cash-only basis.

Currently I only have Wednesday openings available! I am a therapist with a warm and humorous style. My practice focuses on supporting people living with anxiety, chronic illness, life transitions, or grief who choose to not worry alone. I teach people how to regulate stress and reframe experiences. I help people with brain, violence-related injuries or neurological diseases build a more compassionate relationship with difficult emotions and ignite a new sense of meaning.

I help people alleviate uncomfortable feelings, gain insight, and increase coping skills to overcome stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions (such as relocation, career transitions). Part of being human means that you will struggle at some point with unproductive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, or unexpectedly have to manage something life throws your way. Clients I work with are motivated to develop advanced life skills to increase their happiness, self-confidence and emotional health and well-being and are seeking tools to assist them in the process.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the state of Massachusetts who has experience partnering with adolescents, young adults, adults, and senior citizens seeking help with depression, anxiety, grief & loss, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, and life transitions. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Psychology at St. Thomas Aquinas College and my Master of Social Work at New York University.

I provide CBT and solution-focused therapeutic services to individuals, and I specialize in life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationships, mood disorders, and insomnia. My approach is patient-focused and interactive with primary emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I like to work with strengths of the individual and their support network in order to provide effective therapeutic interventions and facilitate change. I often utilize mindfulness principles and stress management in order to meet goals related to improved mental and physical health.

I am a psychotherapist, passionate about psychotherapy and the impact it can have on our societies. Trained in and from the UK, my passion for psychotherapy stems from my own experiences with therapy and the powerful impact it made on my own life as well as those around me that I hope to bring into my work. I have a reflective style that I bring into the therapeutic environment in order to achieve deeper and more authentic connections with my clients.

Currently only accepting new clients for Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. I see clients who experience anxiety, depression, relationship issues, workplace issues, grief and loss, stress, major life-transitions, and clients who want to work on setting healthy boundaries or creating a healthy work-life balance. It's okay if you don't know what your goals are for therapy yet. I believe in meeting you where you're at in life, and helping you find the skills and knowledge you need to heal and flourish.

I specialize in supporting adults with disordered eating, eating disorders, and body image concerns. I often work with clients on having a kinder relationship with food, movement, and their bodies. I also see clients struggling with dating, relationship challenges, anxiety, traumatic experiences, and life transitions. You're a good fit if you appreciate a therapist who brings authenticity, humor, and candor into sessions.

I offer an empathetic, safe space for clients to grow and accomplish their goals. I frequently work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, disordered eating, body image and self-esteem issues, and/or relationship issues. I'm also experienced in supporting clients through life transitions, grief and loss, substance use concerns, and identity development. I use an integrated approach to treatment in order to find the most appropriate intervention for each individual client while maintaining a foundation in insight-oriented and multicultural models of therapy.

I am not accept new clients at this time. I work to create a space without judgment where clients can learn, heal and grow. I work with people living with life transitions, trauma, grief/life losses and chronic illness/burns with compassion, while acknowledging the unique experience of each person. Every client I meet comes with their own set of gifts, challenges, supports and dreams. No one tells the same story as another...and I welcome the distinctiveness of each client. Entering therapy can be a scary process. I take great pride in my ability to create a safe space to partner and explored with each client uniquely.

I believe that you are the expert in your experience. I will learn from you and empower you to be the leader while creating a safe space to facilitate your process to overall health and well-being. We will work together to stir up the stories you are telling yourself and create a narrative that supports how you want to feel. I have a range of experience working with individuals across the lifespan who have been impacted by challenges including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, adjustment/life transitions, trauma, family conflict, LGBTQ, and stress management.

It is a courageous step to seek counseling and support in one’s journey. Whether you have been struggling with self-defeating patterns or looking for guidance with nutritional coaching, I strive to provide a safe and nurturing space to explore these areas of one’s life, moving toward harmony and healing. I'm a Therapist (MSW, LICSW) and Certified Integrative Health Coach, specializing in the intersection of mental health and nutrition. I adopt a holistic philosophy focusing on foundational pillars of health including the role of nutrition, movement, sleep, spirituality in order to gain a clear picture of your overall health.

I am a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst with over 25 years experience in private practice. Individuals come to see me about anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, eating disorders, gender identity, parenting, and life transitions. I will help you understand the causes of your stress and anxieties as we explore your thoughts, feelings and past and present day experiences. Together we will develop strategies for healing and pathways to personal change so that you may move forward and grow.

As a former Division I athlete who has faced many setbacks, I strongly believe in the power of asking for help. My past experiences recovering from the mental and physical components of athletic injury motivate me to help individuals fight their own mental battles. I will work alongside you to better understand your struggles while using CBT, DBT, and strength-based approaches to allow you to make change at your own pace. In our work together, we will identify your personal values and motivators to help achieve your goals.

I believe that relationships determine a lot about how we interact with the world - in both helpful and less helpful ways. Our behaviors, attitudes, thoughts, feelings, and relationship styles are reinforced over time by our experiences, families, partners, environments, and culture. Psychotherapy can help when stress, trauma, life transitions, or difficult relationships call for new ways of coping and navigating our lives.

Throughout life, we all face challenges and stressors that can be too difficult to resolve alone. Oftentimes, the viewpoint of a nonjudgmental third person can provide exceptionally useful new perspectives and insights. Working together, I help my clients discover their values, learn new ways of managing distress, and live their optimal life.

I provide individual psychotherapy for late adolescents and adults presenting with a wide range of clinical presentations and backgrounds. I practice from an integrative lens utilizing a variety of theoretical perspectives, with the goals of fostering a collaborative and authentic therapeutic environment to meet the individual needs of my clients. I have more specialized experience with anxiety disorders, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, family of origin concerns, college mental health, and trauma/PTSD.

I’m a firm believer that you don’t need to wait until things get really bad to start therapy. If you're a college/graduate student, young adult, or professional dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or relationship issues, you're not alone! I take a warm, collaborative, and tailored approach that positions you as the expert of your own experience.
