Relationship Issues Therapists in Bedford, MA

Whether you are looking for help with relationship issues or ways to manage anxiety, depression, or problems of everyday life, choosing a therapist is one of the most important decisions you can make. When clients feel secure, valued, and understood in the therapeutic relationship, exploration and resolution of difficult life experiences or painful emotions becomes possible. Tailoring psychotherapy to each client's unique needs is one aspect of creating a secure therapeutic bond. I work in a flexible manner, based on experience in diverse schools of therapy, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and interpersonal.

I became a marriage counselor because I am pro-marriage & pro-family. I specialize in repairing marriages in crisis. I help people identify their relationship strengths and challenges and I give them the tools to restore their emotional connection. For couples on the brink of divorce, I offer the cutting-edge option of Discernment Counseling. This brief process helps couples develop clarity and confidence about how to move forward. I work with adults to solve personal, psychological, & relational issues including: Depression, Anxiety, Life Transition Issues, Grief Recovery, Parenting through Divorce and Divorce Recovery.

The focus of my nearly 30 years in practice is to assist people who find themselves in common yet challenging transitions in their lives. These difficult "phase of life" transitions are often accompanied by painful adjustment experiences including relationship issues, confusion with one's role, interests, or even personal or work identity, difficulty making decisions or taking action, challenges with feeling productive and making a contribution, and finding peace in one's overall experience of life.

Conflict in relationships is normal. But prolonged conflict can break even the most successful relationships. If you or your partner perceives, feels and experiences this conflict in a harmful manner the two of you need to see a "Relationship Expert" who can help you master "Healthy Interactions". Couple therapy provides a safe, mediated environment to not only explore your emotions and perceptions but implement "Effective Tools" to create permanent change. I am a big believer in homework and accountability. Your time with me will not be wasted and I expect my clients to work hard.

Welcome to taking your first step to feeling better. I specialize in working with young adults and new parents facing the difficulties and uncertainties of life transitions, stress/anxiety, and relationship challenges.

I utilize a strength-based and solution-focused approach, as our work together will involve working towards creating positive and lasting change.

Your relationship used to be fantastic. You and your partner felt connected; had fun together; and could talk about anything. More recently, things haven’t been going as well, and you don’t want them to get worse. You still love each other, but you’re having more disagreements. Perhaps the busyness of life has left you with less quality time together and feeling a little lonely or unappreciated. You want to reconnect, but miscommunication keeps getting in the way. Alternatively, your relationship is doing well, and you’d like a “tune-up” to keep it that way, so it doesn’t go bad like other relationships you see.

My style is direct, active, and supportive, listening with caring and empathy, and providing effective feedback. I want to understand who you are and the challenges you are experiencing, such as coping with serious illness, loss of a loved one, stress resulting from difficulty conceiving a child, a primary relationship that isn’t working, or a work related issue. You may be experiencing symptoms associated with anxiety or depression. As we work together, you will learn strategies that will help you create the changes you desire and to feel better.

I know how difficult life can be at times. But it is possible to solve seemingly insoluble problems. There is always a way to find a path out of the woods. I can help you.

It’s common to feel overwhelmed and lost during life transitions, whether those transitions involve beginning or ending a relationship, becoming a parent, starting a new job, losing someone you love, or even adapting to growing older. Sometimes you can get through difficulties by relying on loved ones in your life, and sometimes it can be invaluable to have a compassionate professional to help you navigate those challenges. My goal is to partner with clients to figure out the path they want to take, and then figure out what skills we can work on to help them get there.

I work well with people throughout the age range, whether it's a child struggling in school, an adult overwhelmed by life's demands, or a senior citizen in need of support, I'm prepared and eager to help.
