Teletherapy for Sudbury, MA

Something isn’t working. Sometimes nothing is working. Do you ever ask: “Is this what life comes down to?” Do you worry it’s too late to change, that mistakes, hurts, and injustices cannot be undone? Maybe worst are the times you feel the best option is to settle for the fleeting comfort of familiar ways because cold comfort is better than no comfort. I treat many people who have worked very hard in life but struggle privately with relationship issues, trauma, self-esteem, and the effects of complicated family histories. Some have tried therapy or self-help, but it wasn’t personalized enough, the right time, or the right approach.

Creativity & Compassion, Mindful Awareness, Health & Resiliency. These are the guiding principles I use to teach people skills to address difficulties in the present, gain a healthier perspective about the past, disengage from fear of the future, embrace & find pleasure in the life that is here. I offer personalized support to women, young adults, & teens struggling with circumstantial, developmental, or health-related transitions.

I'm a Psychotherapist in Private Practice for 40+ years, with an enduring capacity to blend psychological/spiritual principles and practices, women's health rights & power, and often help cultivate the willingness to break through thought/behavior patterns to experience real change. We often live our lives as though we're trying to measure up to other's expectations, failing to make choices that are our own. My passion is to help people to break that spell, choosing for themselves how to live the life they are meant to live, not the lives others want them to live. This is a serious intentional and joint process to join.

With over twenty five years of clinical experience, I help people who struggle with their relationships. Weather you are involved with a complicated parter, struggling in your marriage, dealing with infidelity, co-dependency, or addiction; considering uncoupling, starting over, or grieving the loss of the one you love, I will help you get to the heart of the matter. Then you can heal what you need to heal and make loving and authentic choices for yourself. It IS possible to have happy, healthy, fun, playful and passionate relationships in your life. If that is what your heart desires.I very much look forward to working with you.

Accepting new clients as of July 2023... Many therapists are able to listen, teach skills or offer advice. More than that, a truly skillful therapist guides you through the process of change. I would work with you to see what gets in your way, overcome those barriers and build real, lasting change.

Immediate openings with night and weekend availability. If you are ready to make some changes in your life, I am here to help. I work with individuals who find that everyday stress, anxiety, life transitions, women’s issues, medical concerns such as chronic illness, and/or symptoms of ADD/ADHD get in their way and feel overwhelming. If you are ready to learn more about yourself and use your strengths to help you make lasting changes, I am here to provide a safe and supportive space to help you work on personal growth. I believe change is always possible if you’re willing to take the first steps. Please email for faster response.

Life can be difficult, and we all get stuck at times. I have helped many individuals and couples to face these moments in their lives and open up to the growth and healing that is possible for all of us. I believe that healing happens when we find words where before there were none, when we find hope in places within ourselves we had long ago forsaken, when we allow compassion and connection to touch us when we are feeling most alone and unseen.

Successful navigation of life's challenges is easier with support. Perhaps you are facing new developmental stages or life transitions, struggling with anxiety or depressed mood, worried about your child or other family member, dealing with trauma or loss, or managing challenging relationships. I offer individual therapy for teens and adults as well as parenting support and family therapy. I create a safe environment for clients to identify goals, take emotional risks and set out on individualized paths toward reaching goals and maximizing full potential. I bring warmth and compassion to each therapeutic encounter and relationship.

I work with clients facing a variety of situations and challenges including anxiety, depression, strained family relationships, infertility, pre/postpartum, adjusting to college, empty nesting, aging parents, retirement, grief, and loss. Whether you are looking to improve relationships, find balance in your life, decrease anxiety, or address other concerns, therapy is a place to gain skills to navigate these life challenges.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in private practice with over a decade of experience working with adolescents and their families in their homes and in the community. In addition to working with adolescents and their family's I see young adults ages 18-35 virtually. I do my best work with adolescents who “don’t like therapy” or who have struggled to connect or engage with other therapists in the past. This happens for lots of reasons–but one major one is that sometimes sitting in an office staring at one another just feels too threatening.

With nearly 20 years of experience and extensive education and training, I will leverage my expertise to help you along in your healing journey. You will be able to overcome life obstacles, better manage adversity, and reach new heights of resilience and strength. We will achieve this by thoughtful integration of evidence-based practices into our work, tailored at being a catalyst for you to taking action. Let’s work together and focus on clarifying your past, attuning to your present, and planning for the future!

I provide clients with a safe, supportive & respectful therapy/coaching experience. I’m there to listen. They can share “stories, past, present, life stresses/transition, mental health issues, family/couples goals” etc. I build upon clients strengths as we work together to achieve their goals. As a therapist & life coach I strive to provide my clients with a positive experience. Treatment concludes with them feeling better about themselves & having met "their goals”. The passion I felt when chose this field, early on in high school, still remains:). Through challenging times I’m grateful to be here, to help those in need.
