Therapists in Belmont, MA
I am a Managing Director at the New England Center for Couples and Families, working primarily with couples. I love my work, and take an active, collaborative approach with my clients. I use an "attachment lens" while working, to help people find the underlying, deeper reasons that explain why they act in the ways they do in their relationships. I believe we all seek emotional intimacy, and that, with help, we can learn how to both offer it and receive it. I am certified in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), a highly successful, research-based approach to working with couples.

You might be an individual going through a life transition and you would like an experienced, compassionate and collaborative therapist to help you bring yourself into full expression, through appreciating your strengths, and working with you to create goals and connections to a better future. Or, perhaps you are partnered, having difficulty with patterns of communication and want a safe place to re connect.oo

I understand the importance of developing resilience-to-change in order to effectively cope with major life transitions including losses and endings (divorce, retirement, serious medical illness) as well as beginnings (new relationships, marriage, birth of a child, starting a career). Without such resilience, life can feel overwhelming, self esteem becomes precarious, and mood can dip dramatically. As a licensed clinical psychologist, with more than 30 years experience, my clients value my warm, collaborative approach to relationship issues, executive stress, mid-life issues, inter-generational conflicts, and self-defeating behaviors that keep people stuck.

I am a cognitive behavioral psychologist specializing in the treatment of mood disorders, anxiety and substance use in individuals and families. I have experience working collaboratively with families who hope to motivate change in their loved one's substance use and/or other challenging behaviors. This work draws from a number of evidence-based, supportive approaches such as CRAFT, MI and ACT. As a Clinical Instructor in Psychology at Harvard Medical School and a Clinical Associate at McLean Hospital, I have twenty years experience working with adults and adolescents in a variety of treatment settings.

Typically my clients arrive at therapy when the coping skills they have used their whole lives stop working as effectively. A sudden loss, rejection, adverse life experience, or sense of stuckness can reveal an underlying working model of self and the world that no longer works. Through our work together, I will help you access a new healthier model to guide your choices, along with improved coping skills, community resources, and social supports. As an EFT couples therapist, I bring a relational attachment model to all my work.

I have been a psychologist in private practice in North Cambridge since 1996. I work with a wide range of individuals, from college students to older adults, who seek relief from painful and life-disrupting depression and anxiety. I also work with people who struggle with disordered eating and body image, with a focus on challenging diet culture and fostering self-acceptance and a healthy relationship with food and exercise. Many of the people I see are looking for help with difficulties during life transitions and in their relationships with romantic partners, parents, children, friends, and co-workers.

I work with the “silent suffering”, those whose lives look fine on paper, but something is off. My clients have jobs, relationships, run a household, etc., but they are lonely and/or do not feel fulfillment. Some clients were the good kids in the family, the ones who never spoke up and have a lifetime pattern of holding feelings in. Some put the needs of others before their own. Others are self-medicating (overeating, overdrinking) underlying conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADD or OCD. Some have unresolved trauma that creates self-doubt and over-owning mistakes. These clients often stay too long in bad relationships.

For more than 20 years, I have enjoyed helping children, adolescents and young adults overcome their difficulties while also focusing on developing their many strengths. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that is solution focused and clinically proven to be the most effective treatment for children and adolescents who are struggling with Anxiety, Depression, and social difficulties. I have seen an enormous increase in Anxiety and over dependence on social media, vaping, and marijuana use as coping mechanisms and have developed an expertise in treating adolescents who struggle with these issues.

Therapy at its best combines both insight and action. Understanding ourselves can provide a kinder and less judgmental frame of understanding how we got here. But this is not enough. Taking steps, both in life and during therapy to heal and make changes is essential for an effective and satisfying outcome. For these reasons, my approach to therapy combines the depth orientation of insight oriented psychotherapies and mindfulness with the action oriented aspects of cognitive-behavioral, behavioral and internal focusing techniques.

Good therapy should result in real life changes, not just increased self-awareness in the therapy office. People are seeking understanding, and guidance. My best work comes when there is mutual respect and an openness to learning. Everyone feels better when they find out they are not 'crazy' and there is an explanation for what they are feeling and thinking. I tend to be active in my work, because people come because they want feedback, not silence. My style is eclectic, meaning I will use many techniques to reach the goal, and the challenge will extend past my office door.

I know that there are challenges in each person's life and I strongly believe that talking helps. I engage those that I work with by using dynamic psychotherapy. This is an ongoing process of talking, thinking and feeling. As these elements are shared, reconsidered, and reviewed over time a deeper understanding of the self emerges. This understanding leads to more choices in one's life. I respect the abilities that people bring to the challenges of life and their capacities to make changes. I treat the person not the diagnosis. Please text or call (617) 480-5155.
