Teletherapy for 04105

I believe in an integrative and holistic approach to help clients find balance in their daily lives. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma or other challenges in your life, it is possible to work through it with someone who can offer skillful support and guidance. The goal that people say they most want; is to feel better, or that they want things to be different. It is possible for healing to occur and to work on issues that are hard to deal with in the right space. Change is possible and attainable.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am passionate about helping clients uncover and live as the best version of themselves. Informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems, I utilize a strengths-based, collaborative approach to help clients understand, heal, and change the negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs that contribute to symptoms of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

I believe that every individual has the inherent capability to make changes to better their lives. My goal is to foster relationships that best support client strengths, tailoring therapy that fits the indivdual(s). In my practice, I employ behavioral therapy, person centered therapy, and mindfulness work. I work with adults, couples and families who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, low self esteem, and spirituality concerns, and those who are in the midst of separation/divorce, or having parenting issues or communication challenges within family and/or peer relationships.

If you find yourself struggling to effectively communicate with others, feeling misunderstood by those around you, or invalidated by the world, I create a space that is emotionally safe, validating, and holds space for change. Nothing is static; everything is always changing, even when it doesn’t feel like it. I believe strongly that we are all doing the best we can and need to do better. I offer support in finding ways to safely cope with and soothe difficult emotions and finding solutions to decrease behaviors that are causing harm and further distress.

Welcome! I am so excited you are here! I support parents struggling to navigate their children's tricky and even baffling behaviors. My parent coaching approach is grounded in Interpersonal Neurobiology and Attachment Theory. Through our time and work together, you will gain access to your very own x-ray vision goggles. A necessity to seeing the need underlying your child's behavior. You will also explore your own thoughts and feelings about parenting and strengthen your connection to your child, AND yourself. I also offer Family Therapy, in home, for families looking to address attachment concerns and shift family dynamics.

I enjoy working with teenagers, young adults, adults, and families. I have experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. working with people who have anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, family conflict, or who are navigating difficult life transitions. I also enjoy working with people who are trying to figure out and achieve both short and long-term goals or are looking to improve their general stress levels and health. I often work with people who have problems in school, friend groups, family issues, trauma, or chronic mental health concerns.

As a therapist, my priority is to foster a therapeutic environment that feels warm, compassionate, and is uniquely tailored to each person. I care deeply about using a genuine, non-judgmental approach as I support you in navigating complex emotions, challenging relationships and moments of uncertainty. Therapy can be a transformative experience when given the right support. You will experience newfound resilience, self-acceptance, and meaningful insights.

Are you struggling with transitions in your life? Do you have difficulties in your personal and professional relationships? Feeling unheard or under-appreciated? Are your roles in your marriage and family overwhelming you and draining your energy? Healthy communication skills can protect a marriage. Seeking help can be difficult but we all benefit from non-judgmental and safe spaces to explore our thoughts and feelings. Whether you're looking for individual therapy, more effective parenting skills, or help managing a separation and divorce, having a wise & objective therapist can ease the process.

Hate therapy? I get it. If you are missing out on a sense of peace or feel like you'll burst if something doesn't change soon, however, then it’s worth it to invest in yourself through therapy. Concerns I work with most are: ​men’s issues (i.e. intimacy), codependency, life transitions (i.e. college, divorce), anxiety, substance use disorders, self esteem/empowerment. No matter what your concern, I'm committed to not pathologizing people. You are not broken! I tailor sophisticated treatment modalities to your needs and pride myself in being present with you during our sessions.

We often find ourselves stuck in all too familiar negative patterns. Patterns of behavior that we know don't serve ourselves or our loved ones. Patterns of thought that always seem to tear us down no matter how much progress we make. Patterns within relationships that are less than we deserve. Patterns of anxiety and stress that feel out of our control. Many of us have worked hard to understand and change these patterns: setting goals, self-help books, therapy, medication, meditation, and so on. Yet we find that the deepest patterns are frustratingly stubborn, seeming to rise to the surface no matter how much work we've done.

Now accepting AETNA insurance! Let’s get to the bottom of what takes your attention away from the people and things that you love. My goal as a therapist is to collaborate to give you the insight and tools needed to reach your goals. With almost a decade of experience working with clients experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life changes – I am confident psychotherapy can prompt us to discover new ways to deal with life’s difficult days.

I believe in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship. If you are seeking therapy, then you are already on your way to creating a more fulfilling life and I am excited to help you. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, beliefs, and relationship patterns that are causing pain. This approach is helpful for many issues including anxiety, depression, adjustment, and trauma. I specialize in working with teenagers and adults. Some people only need brief, solution-focused therapy and some are seeking long-term support. Together, we will decide what is right for you.

I now have immediate openings Tuesdays in-person in our Falmouth office! Energy for change is created when there is space to reflect upon and explore your life. I appreciate being able to co-create this space for curiosity and inquiry with you. Maybe you want to embody more joy, love, and health in your life. Maybe you want to build more skills in navigating the day to day emotions that permeate your mind, body and spirt. Whatever your goals, my work is to support you on your particular path, with the ups and downs that are an inevitable part of your process.

It’s important to feel comfortable coming to therapy just as you are. Many of us experience major life changes, challenging relationships, grief, guilt, anxiety, or trauma reactions, that cause us to feel self-doubt, to feel disconnected from our needs and bodies, and to even minimize our own experiences. My approach, which is intersectional, developmentally focused, and trauma-informed, helps you tap into the knowledge your body and emotions have for you, while developing skills so these feelings don’t overwhelm and take center stage. I have current openings for EMDR, new parents with perinatal mood disorders, and LGBTQ folks.

Offering Therapy-ish Consultations: solution-oriented conversations focusing on tools, strategies and resources. Great for people who are unsure about the need for ongoing therapy, Consultations provide practical guidance to handle problems and stressors in your relationships, work, health and overall well-being. I lightheartedly describe my Consultations as Therapy-ish, because they have therapeutic qualities like psychotherapy, while being distinct from therapy itself. This unique approach to professional support and guidance provides an option for those whom the focus and framework of therapy might not be a fit.

Need a little support? I work with people who are struggling with depression, transitions, athletic/performance/competitive issues, relationship issues, anxiety, and traumatic experiences. Whether you are just starting to address an issue or have been working on things, I will support you in achieving your goals and finding a sense of purpose. I have faced my own significant adversity and found help in the therapeutic relationship and look forward to providing that support for others.

My belief is that you are truly the expert in your own life. That life can present times where you may need help to traverse the unique challenges you face. My primary focus is to offer a non-judgmental empathetic space that is both safe and inspiring. A space where feelings and emotions can exist without judgement. A space to explore and discover your authentic self. I work with children, adolescents and adults that are experiencing a wide range of issues that can include: trauma, anxiety, chronic pain, depression, relationship issues, and grief/loss.

Life these days can be complicated, confusing and challenging. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to offer an open, non-judgmental and safe therapeutic relationship to help foster personal growth and change. I am fluent in a variety of physical and psychological conditions, including fibromyalgia, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, phobias, relationship issues, grief/loss, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and many others. I am also a master clinician in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). For more information on ART, please visit my website via the link on the left.
