Emotionally Focused Therapists in Amesbury, MA

Entering a relationship with a therapist can be challenging when life is going well, so I appreciate the additional effort it takes when things aren't easy. I view our work as mutual, a partnership and my style is to be there with you as you explore. I also believe 'the work' is never truly done, but my goal is to give you the skills to continue that work outside of our time together. With couples, this work is complex because there are two histories, two brains, and scars from relationship injuries that need healing as we strengthen that bond.

As of July 8, 2024 I have space for 1-2 new couples. Is your relationship or marriage stuck in a cycle? Do you want to repair or connect but you don’t know how? You’ve come to the right place. I can help. Let’s face it, relationships are… complex. AND they can also be wonderful. Getting back to or finding that deep connection is worth the work. I approach couples therapy using a model called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT is evidence-based and effective — it gets results! Whether your relationship is struggling due to significant life events or you are feeling disconnected for unknown reasons, EFT can help.

I especially love helping teens/ young adults (and their parents) with developing their independence. I'm excited to help individuals and families enjoy their lives more either by improving relationships, better managing their stage of life tasks, and also while dealing with difficult problems including Relationship/ Marital issues, Family Conflicts, Affairs, Sex addiction, Co-parenting, "Growing Up" issues, Adjusting to Divorce, Gay & Lesbian & Gender (Transgender) issues, Substance Abuse, Grief, Violence and Anger Management including Probation & Diversion involvement.

Welcome and thank you for visiting my Psychology Today listing. As an empathetic licensed mental health clinician, I believe that trust and acceptance are the corner stones in creating a therapeutic, non-judgmental environment which fosters client self-discovery and awareness, promotes self-empowerment towards personal growth and healing from your own lived experience. Here you can feel safe and supported to begin your journey towards real change.

I specialize in treating women 18 or older with depression, grief and loss, chronic illness, generalized anxiety, and trauma. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR) mindfulness, guided imagery, and other supportive therapies to assist with symptom management.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, burnt out? Are mental health struggles keeping you from living your best life? These symptoms are telling you that it’s time for change. I understand it takes a lot of courage to ask for help, but you don’t have to do it alone. I can help you find balance and teach you skills to sustain wellbeing. I provide holistic and evidence-based interventions specific to your goals, including (but not limited to) art therapy, mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy. I can help you process your past experiences, and we can work together to better resolve current challenges as well as celebrate the joys.

I believe that in order to achieve a sense of overall well-being and balance, both our mind and body must be healthy and supported. Depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, illness and eating disorders are all things that can be a part of the human condition. Any of these disorders can become uncomfortable and overwhelming, making it difficult or impossible to achieve balance in the mind and body. I am here to help you.

Starting is often the hardest part. We all want to have someone listen to us; someone to understand where we have been, where we want to go & help us find a way to get there. No judgement here, just honest conversation to help you help yourself. Sometimes life takes alternate paths & we could all use a little GPS from time to time. I'm a firm believer that people need people and that we are all in this life together. Let's explore ways to get you to, or back to, the version of yourself that you want to be. Something or someone has driven you to Psychology Today. You don't have to continue feeling this way.

As a Licensed Therapist, I have dedicated my career to empowering individuals, helping them to recognize their full potential.

We often get stuck in maladaptive beliefs and patterns of behavior that once helped us cope with shame, fear or anxiety. They get in our way of feeling balance and a sense of well-being in our lives. The more we can develop insight into the source of these issues and break them down into manageable pieces, the more rewarding our relationships, work and free time will become. We all have the capacity to make positive changes that improve the quality of our lives. It is a sign of strength and resilience to reach out for help.
