Couples Counseling Therapists in Worcester, MA

Welcome and thank you for reading further. Since even prior to the Pandemic, it seems life has become much more stressful for children, adolescents and adults but mental health awareness has improved. If you or your child are struggling with anxiety/social anxiety, AD(H)D, OCD, depression, significant loss/bereavement, have experienced trauma, feeling pressure to be perfect, feeling disconnected in your relationships, or in general feeling you've lost perspective of where you want to or are supposed to be at this point in your life, I would like to be of assistance. I have been successfully treating all of these conditions and more.

Do you find yourself struggling with managing anxiety or finding peace within yourself? Or wishing you could communicate in a healthier way or achieve greater intimacy with your partner? I support couples and individuals by encouraging and modeling more collaborative, authentic and empathic relationships. I believe with the help of some humor, a judgement-free therapeutic space encourages an individual's introspection, self-compassion and growth. Every person has unique strengths and insight that can lead them towards a life enriched by deep and well balanced relationships with themselves and others.

I have been in practice for 30 years and recognize the importance of having a therapist who is non-judgmental, supportive, caring and invested in change. My eclectic approach provides a safe environment by empowering people to ultimately accept themselves by reaching their innate potential. I carry no magic wand but rather a keen, sensitive and thoughtful ear.

I believe that a healthy and well-balanced person is one who cares for themselves emotionally, physically and spiritually.

My work with you is strength-based and solution-focused and will help you with coping and self-help strategies, communication and conflict resolution skills, resolve emotional conflicts, and increase satisfaction with your life and functioning. I treat all mood illnesses and adjustment disorders, such as life stages, transitions, and negative stressors.

Specializing in individual & couples counseling (e.g. those struggling with infidelity, addiction, high levels of conflict, dissatisfaction, inability to communicate or "stage of life" changes). My clients are typically professionals, first responders (fire, police, EMT, hospital staff), couples, trauma survivors, those in addiction recovery & those struggling with grief and loss. For over three decades, I have worked effectively with individuals & families of all types and persuasions. I employ both evidence-based & observation-based practices but believe a therapist's life-long experience is always the best predictor of success.

I find great joy in collaborating with individuals, couples, and families who bring a sense of motivation, open-mindedness, and a deep drive to enrich their overall well-being. It's truly heartening to work with clients who proactively seek therapy, demonstrating a strong commitment to addressing diverse challenges and fostering personal growth within themselves and their relationships. Whether they're grappling with communication hurdles, navigating complexities of identity, or adapting to new environments due to relocation, I deeply appreciate their willingness to embark on this journey of exploration and growth together.

As your therapist, my primary goal is what's best for YOU, based on YOUR goals, and Your needs. I work primarily with individuals and couples struggling with infertility, pregnancy loss, pregnancy, and post-partum complications. If you have been struggling to conceive, feeling anxious while pregnant, worried about your pending delivery/birth, had a difficult experience in the hospital or recovering from birth related injuries, or possibly looking to increase intimacy after a baby or a loss. I utilize different clinical approaches to support all clients on their path to wellness.

I primarily learned using a Cognitive-Behavioral Model (learned through the Beck Institute), but have since incorporated more Mindfulness-based and Humanistic approaches to my work.

My passion lies in supporting individuals who have been impacted by anxiety, stress, depressive symptoms and trauma. It is a fast-paced world we are all attempting to negotiate and through a lens of curiosity, compassion and accountability I partner with adolescents, young adults, couples and parents with setting goals that serve to promote their well-being, self-esteem, and capacity to effectively manage life's challenges. I am excited to collaborate with and support individuals who have a desire to heal, grow and improve their quality of life.

My approach with clients recognizes that most people are looking for tangible help, don't have a lot of time between work and family, and want to feel like they are moving toward a better understanding of solutions to address their difficulties. My work with clients acknowledges these issues. I take a very active role in counseling to explore the options with my clients, provide new knowlege of issues where relevant, and help an individual to reach their potential. Issues related to marital/partner, parenting/child, family,work,school,stress, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse are all areas I work with.

Throughout my career as a clinical social worker, I have worked with teenagers and families. I love young people: their enthusiasm and their passion for life, even their confusion and their uncertainties. As for the parents of those teenagers, I can only empathize with you. Even experienced clinicians struggle parenting teens when they're your own. And the toll parenting a teenager can take on a marriage: it is undoubtedly why most of the couples I have worked with, sought marriage therapy during the time their children were teenagers or young adults. I understand their pain and want to help relieve it.
