As of 3/13/25 I have a wait list. Please contact me in 3-4 weeks if you still are seeking a therapist. Replies to inquiries in 24-48 hrs. In-person & video on Martha’s Vineyard. Thank you for taking a few minutes to read my profile. My clients are adults of all ages and at different stages of life, seeking healing and growth from past relationships, grief or loss, anxiety, depression, change, uncertainty. I have an affirming, easy going but direct and engaged style and I love helping people in this effort. I am an experienced therapist committed to fostering a safe and meaningful working relationship with you.
We will look at your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, values and goals; all those things which influence who we are and how we live our lives, but which sometimes can hinder or even harm. When we meet together, I try to make our visits safe, understandable, and meaningful for you. Supporting you to find a path through psychological challenges is my priority.
Therapy might seem intimidating, but therapy can be a wonderful and liberating process. This is a no-judgment zone. You can contact me for a no-charge consult to see if we might be a fit to work together.

I work with you to assess what type of therapy style might be most helpful. This can mean providing a task or assignment oriented focus for you, or using a more open, less guided, interpretive approach. Adapting as we go along, it's a learning process. We're in this together.
