Let's face it, life can take unexpected turns. We all need support to navigate some of the obstacles along the way, and sometimes even guidance to perhaps see them as opportunities. What are the concerns you have that keep you up at night or distracted during the day? Do you feel that you would benefit from a helpful boost to get you unstuck and moving forward in your life? I aim to help women to re-imagine their life plans and re-ignite their confidence and passion to pursue their unique path.

Limited availability for new clients in Barnstable location: I find every person is unique, with individual gifts, tolerances and goals. In my experience, people come to therapy searching for help with some inhibition, perfectionism, self-esteem or emotion creating blocks in relationships, work and enjoying life. I have found the power of conversation and careful listening opens up new perspectives and flexibility of thought, action and breadth of emotions, creating a more fulfilling life.

Accepting New Patients: Everyone, at some point in their lives, will experience some type of mental health symptom, be it depression, anxiety, loss/grief, addictions to substances or behaviors, and adjustment to major life changes. The good news is that most of us have been using coping skills that we may not even know that we have. Depending on the situation or severity of symptoms, sometimes seeking help to learn new, or healthier coping skills, as well as having someone listen and help prioritize stressors can make a huge difference in our lives and help no longer feel so frustrated, alone and overwhelmed.

It is an all too common human experience to invite tremendous pain into our lives as a result of self shaming for our past experiences and through fear based predictions of what the future holds. We tend to relentlessly find fault with ourselves and others through these habitual ways of seeing resulting in ongoing suffering. This fuels feelings of unworthiness which can keep us stuck, lacking hope, and disconnected from ourselves and those we care for.

I became a counselor to support individuals and families who are experiencing difficulties or are feeling stuck. My treatment is guided by assessment of the needs and goals of the client. The length of treatment is based on those needs and goals. I work with individuals, couples and families of all types and complexities. I work collaboratively, utilizing my extensive knowledge of our community. Trauma, addictions as they effect the individual and family system, major mental illness and cognitive and learning disabilities are areas of interest and expertise. I look forward to speaking with you.

Our broad goal––of course––is “the end of unnecessary suffering.” Sound about right? While we all strive for this, I specialize in helping folks with a very-unique kind of suffering: OCD. I can tell you that few people understand the pain and complexity of OCD—(even most therapists). I will listen intently to your unique story. Just know that I can introduce you to an arsenal of tools that can help: mindfulness, ERP (exposure and response prevention) and on and on. Yes, thoughts can be “sticky.” But––with hard work––if (or when) those thoughts come back around…they can be as quiet & as harmless as a yellow post-it.

Alcohol Use Therapists
Are there specific medications for alcohol use?
There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
