Stress Therapists in Chelmsford, MA

For over twenty five years I have enjoyed counseling individuals. I work with them to develop coping strategies which will improve their situation and empower them to achieve more satisfying lives. My successes come because I start where my clients are and treat them non-judgmentally. As essential as that is, I also believe in solution focused and cognitive behavioral therapy. My goal is for them to learn from therapy, not to make therapy a way of life.

At this time I have a waiting list generating. I apologize for the inconvenience. LICSW with over 30 years of Clinical Experience in an out patient setting.

You deserve a compassionate therapist -someone to make you feel safe, secure, and connected while you work to meet your therapeutic goals. I work with individuals to gain tools, set goals and process feelings in order to help you lead a happier and healthier life.

I work with adults who are struggling with pregnancy loss, postpartum, and child rearing issues. I also work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and stress related to employment and interpersonal relationships.

Welcome! My specializations include working with young adults finding their place in the world (18-29), young professionals (20s/30s), college/graduate students and the parents and families who support them. Another niche focus of my practice is supporting adults across the lifespan with the demands of "work-home-life-love" who suffer from exhaustion, stress and sadness while balancing the demands of relationships, career and parenting. Throughout these life phases I see clients who are suffering from anxiety, depression, loneliness, life transitions and/or self-esteem issues and want to rediscover what feeling better can feel like.

It is as though a “What if…” reel is running in your mind. You are so exhausted by the second (third and fourth!) guessing of your choices and your interactions with others. Dealing with your anxiety is taking up so much energy. Sometimes you try to avoid the things or situations that are causing your anxiety. Other times you might check in with a friend, partner or parent asking, “Do you think what I did was okay?” Still other times you imagine worse-case scenarios playing out and strategize how you can prevent them. But the worry comes back.

I work with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, parenting concerns, grief, and coping with life's challenges. Gaining an understanding of our thoughts, emotions and inner voices is the first step to improving how we feel. Utilizing a systemic counseling approach, I work collaboratively with my clients with a focus on goals, highlighting strenghts, and fortifying resilience.

Life can make us feel stuck, unsure, down, scared, stressed, and emotionally drained. With all of life's transitions, ups and downs, adjustments, and surprises, it's no wonder that sometimes we all need a boost. Hope for a better tomorrow can be the first step in making change towards a brighter future. Being vulnerable to take that first step can be a difficult one, however one that can bring transformation, clarity, understanding, and validation that can keep us moving forward.
