I offer psychotherapy to adults of all ages, children and teens. My style is collaborative and interactive and is part of creating a safe, empathic relationship that is the foundation for open communication and exploration of what is most relevant to each client. My approach is relational, trauma informed, and culturally and socially attuned, but draws on a variety of therapeutic models. I approach the therapeutic process with openness and flexibility to meet the current and changing needs of each individual. I believe that therapy can be transformative and should always play an active role in appreciable growth and change.

Greetings! I've been working as a therapist for over 30 years both in NYC & here in Western Mass & I have a broad range of experience which informs my practice. Having worked in community based mental health as well as hospital & college settings over the years, I have engaged with people from ages 18 - 80 years old, from diverse cultural & class backgrounds. I have come to appreciate the value & importance of the therapeutic relationship. People enter therapy for various reasons & I will listen with a compassionate ear to understand your concerns. Trust is essential & develops when you feel heard. Change will follow.

Many of my clients might consider themselves psychologically minded, insightful, and eager to work on self-exploration. My therapeutic approach is influenced by my background in life coaching, which brings a practical, solution-focused quality to the work we would do together. Paired with a process that slowly unwires conditioned patterns and facilitates courage, clarity, and self-understanding, the navigation of your internal and external worlds can become more peaceful and fulfilling. I frequently work with current or aspiring therapists, coaches, artists, creatives, wellness practitioners, and high achievers of all kinds.

As a psychodynamic therapist, I specialize in helping adults, adolescents and couples make sense of their inner worlds. My goal is to collaborate with clients to gain autonomy of their emotional lives, foster deep psychological awareness/flexibility and facilitate observable change in how they relate to themselves and others. Clients can expect a highly active, curious and reflective environment in session, where they are challenged and encouraged to develop insight as a primary mechanism of behavioral change.

I am influenced by hu manistic, psychodynamic, and mindfulness approaches and utilize EMDR, spirituality, and expressive therapies including art, sandtray and music.
Looking for an EMDR therapist can be challenging. For those looking for the first time, I'd like to offer some thoughts on finding one who's right for you. While credentials and experience have their place, at the end of the day the most important thing is fit. I encourage you to "go with your gut." Do a phone consult. Did they give you space to talk? Did you feel heard? Sometimes what we need is feeling supported by someone who "gets" us. Other times we grow from someone who is able to challenge us in just the right way.

My mission is to help my clients better understand who they are, what they want from this life, and how to move towards a more integrated self. My alternative style of therapy blends traditional talk therapy with non-traditional therapeutic methods such as nature therapy, mindfulness-based practices, music, art, movement, and nature-based groups. I have found both personally and professionally that nature, creative expression, and physical activity set the stage for healing and growth, and I enjoy incorporating these elements into my therapeutic approach.

Have substances caused so much harm in your life they could be destroying what you've worked so hard for? Have others commented on behaviors that keep you from keeping family, employment and other obligations? Has your quality of life fallen lower than you may want to admit? Have you tried in the past, possibly dedicating a month or more to inpatient treatment, only to give in again. Tired and scared of what may be next? Addiction is a serious problem that requires professional intervention.

My ideal client is someone who is confused or conflicted in their life. They may or may not have a clear picture of their goals and what their life should look like. How do they get there? They need guidance, clarity, and support on their life's path. They need to connect with others, with nature, and with their true self. Perhaps they are not clear on how to get help or where they can start. In the case of feeling hopeless or helpless, they need to know they have the support of another hu man being and, perhaps if they are spiritual, the support of the Divine, however they see that. They are looking for wholeness.
