After a twenty-year career in the education field, I am confident we can work together effectively on what has brought you to the point of reaching out for help. My style of counseling combines an awareness of how past experiences impact our thinking and behaviors with a mindfulness-based appreciation of our unchanging core. If you're in a troubling relationship I help to develop safe spaces to deepen connection and intimacy through deep listening and self-compassion. Families looking for help with teens can expect a variety of concrete approaches to engage them involving multiple family members as appropriate.
I completed my formal training in Boston in psychodynamic psychotherapy for individuals and couples. I am comfortable working with your biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions. My latest training is in the use of the Internal Family Systems model for couples and individuals, which guides you toward wholeness using your own resources.
I will always try to reply to your call promptly. Please use or leave a cell number so I can reply by text. Due to the high volume of calls, I can't call to confirm you saw my text if I see that it was delivered. My primary goal is serving those based in Berkshire County to allow in-person sessions. Your confidentiality is my top priority.

To better serve my community, I generally do not accept out-of-pocket payments. I prefer to bill your health insurance to avoid correlation of financial status with mental health services. I also prioritize individuals and families based in the Berkshires but am open to exceptions when feasible.

While therapeutic models differ in approach, I believe it's really the relationship and rapport between therapist and client that help healing.

I work with those who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I have been increasingly using Internal Family Systems, which I find to be a very effective way of understanding how your system works and what gets in the way of being self-led. After first exploring what brought you to therapy, we would eventually go inside your internal universe to find the parts that sometimes take over and make it harder for you to experience the qualities of self.
