Trauma Focused Therapists in Greenfield, MA

I offer my clients strategies for growth and change that align with their values and goals. My Holistic and Integrative psychotherapy and Life Coaching is Strength Based and Solution Focused. I am committed to forming a collaboration designed to help you find your own unique path to Wellness, Fulfillment and Happiness. I am also committed to making Therapy and Life Coaching accessible financially, especially to those with no Health Insurance, or if you have concerns about privacy and insurance. I have experience working across the lifespan and with couples. Adolescents and young adults find me particularly easy to talk with.

Therapy produces its own unique ecosystem. In the right collaboration, essential growth-oriented risks can be taken, which often results in sustainable transformation. Various tools we develop to emotionally survive our experiences in formative years can become automatic interpersonal response systems we operate from long after they serve us. This can impact the relationship we have with self and others. I strive to bring the utmost compassion and insight into the room while we work together to figure out how one's way of being in the world can become more aligned with concerns of the present circumstance.

I get it. You're feeling stuck and don't know how to get out of this rut you've been in for who-knows-how-long.

You WANT a self-care routine you love, to be kinder to yourself, to trust your decisions, and to have deeply connected relationships that lift you up. I'm here to tell you it's 100% possible to break free from tiresome autopilot mode and create the life you've always wanted for yourself! I know because I've made this happen both for myself AND for hundreds of clients just like you, locally and worldwide.

At "Circle Forward" I welcome adults from diverse backgrounds, cultures, experiences, identities & belief systems. I am skilled at supporting people who have been overwhelmed and struggle with "trauma" - unresolved, survival responses (fight, flight, appease & shut down). These natural defensives are essential for dealing with threat. Protective impulses from the past can get stuck & intrude on relationships and on physical, emotional & spiritual rhythms of day-to-day life. I support you to feel safe & allow incomplete survival responses to move slowly & integrate fully. I work online and in Greenfield, MA.

I am an experienced family therapist who has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of settings. I see self-pay clients and Blue Cross Blue Shield.

I can help figure out what's going on diagnostically and we can develop a treatment plan together. I have successfully helped children and adults with ADHD, PTSD, Anxiety, and Mood Disorders like Depression and Bipolar Disorder.

I specialize in helping clients make the changes they need to have a satisfying and meaningful life. I believe that psychotherapy is about more than just talking things through--it is also about learning to deal with the problems life brings, whether by learning ways new ways of coping, practicing acceptance, or making sure that you are building the life you want. I enjoy working with adults and adolescents, either individually or with their families.

I am currently accepting new clients, so if you are struggling to hold all the pieces together, experiencing stress over career, relationships, or life goals - you don't have to do it alone. Together we can work to realign your hopes and dreams through a process of building insight, self awareness, and ultimately self-acceptance. We all carry the the imprint of our early experiences, our adaptive responses that helped us survive. Letting go of defenses that are no longer useful will free you to embody your best self!

In sessions, I work to create a space for clients that allows for exploration and discovery of themselves and their internal/external worlds. By approaching the journey of healing and transformation through deep listening and curiosity, I help bring about clarity without shame or judgment where there are blocks or stuckness. I work with adults, college students and children. When working with children, I lean into play and art/expressive therapies that help the child access their emotional worlds.

I treat clients with respect and offer the support of an unconditional and positive therapeutic relationship. I especially enjoy working with individuals who are healing from the effects of complex and challenging life events (i.e. traumas).

I imagine you in the driver's seat and me in the passenger seat, with you every step of the way, holding the map and offering guidance and support, but understanding that the real growth comes from you.

There is no such thing as "bad art" or "bad artists" in art therapy. You are also not too old or too (fill in the blank) to give it a try. Art therapy is highly adaptable and accesses both sides of your brain. The act of creating and altering images, in your own unique way can help to externalize, reorganize and regulate your emotional narrative in a way that words alone may not. I primarily specialize in working with teens and older adults who have emotional dysregulation, disability (cognitive and/or physical), are neurodiverse (ADHD/ASD/HSP), LGBTQIA2S+, PTSD, CPTSD. BUT you do not need a diagnosis to utilize art therapy.
