Teletherapy for 02421

I specialize in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder, health anxiety, perinatal anxiety, and other anxiety disorders. I help my clients decrease and manage emotional and physical distress, and increase well-being. My clients range in age from 17 through older adulthood. I work collaboratively and actively with my clients to achieve their short and long term goals. My approach is always compassionate, respectful, and optimistic. My goals are to reduce symptoms while helping clients move toward positive long-term changes.

My 20 years of working with adolescents and their families has taught me to approach clients with a non-judgmental, non-authoritative attitude. This helps clients take an honest look at their lives and identify what things need to change or be accepted. Meeting a client without preconceived expectations is critical because it gives me a chance to see the client from her/his own point of view. Also, I work very hard to not act too "therapisty," which is something that often hinders therapy with adolescent clients in particular (e.g., "How does that make you feel?").

Welcoming New Patients - Easy, Secure Telemed (In-person currently unavailable) Over the past two years, the pandemic has illuminated areas in our lives that no longer serve our physical or emotional wellbeing, and highlighted the need for support and healing on many levels. If you are interested in taking a deeper look at the thoughts, fears, and unhealed aspects contributing to distress, I welcome this opportunity to work together.

I practice from a person-centered and strengths based perspective, and I believe therapy should be a collaborative process. I work to create a warm and open environment where my clients can safely explore and process their emotions. My clients would describe me as compassionate, genuine, non-judgemental, and not afraid to use a little humor. Together, we will work to identify your goals and build a plan to help you move forward. You are the expert on your own life, and I consider it an honor to support you on your journey.

My psychology practice is focused on positive habit change, helping people build new habits and get rid of old ones that stand in the way of their goals and dreams. With support and guidance, you can learn the skills needed to lose weight, break dependence on alcohol and other substances, overcome procrastination, and develop better self-care, financial discipline, organization skills, and health habits. While making changes can be challenging, maintaining positive change is even harder. I can help you maintain motivation and focus to make positive changes permanent. You really can keep the change!
