Divorce Therapists in Boxford, MA

I am an individual, couple and group psychotherapist with over thirty years of experience. I work well with individuals experiencing distress related to anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, interpersonal difficulties and the impact of health issues on mental health. My goal is to establish a warm, collaborative and safe therapeutic relationship within which clients can address their distress and develop an understanding of the roots of this distress. My focus is to help individuals and couples build on their strengths and address their vulnerabilities to achieve their personal and professional goals while developing a sense of peace and enjoyment in their lives.

I have been in the mental health field for over 30 years practicing in a variety of settings. My current interests have evolved after years of working with adolescent females and adult women, followed by years of working with troubled families where I became aware of the prevalence of and impact from various kinds of trauma. Depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relational issues and living with and healing from trauma are areas of my expertise.

I am deeply curious about human relationships; the conditions that make them mutually satisfying and joyful as well as how they can go wrong leaving people feeling in pain, lonely or unworthy. My practice consists of couples and adults whose relationships with themselves and/or others are in disrepair. We all have many relationships. Yet, the more personal and intimate they are, the more distressing and challenging they can be at one time or another. I encourage individuals and couples looking to discover greater relational joy and willing to look both inward and outward for more satisfying life solutions to contact me.

The search for a therapist is the first BIG step to getting on a more healthy and balanced path that you envision for your life! I would like to explain more about myself and how I help my clients. I have been a therapist for over 14 years! I enjoy working with adults from all diverse backgrounds. In individual sessions I help those presenting with depression, anxiety, OCD, personality disorders, trauma, substance abuse, ADHD/ADD, issues with sexuality, LGBTQ, grief and loss, parenting issues, women's issues, and challenges involving interpersonal relationships

I am a clinical social worker (LICSW) with over 25 years of experience working with youth, adults and families across a variety of settings. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, parental guidance, attachment, family systems and relationship issues. I deeply value authenticity and strive to create a trusting relationship with my clients. My approach is grounded in family system theory but draws on a variety of methods including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy to create a tailored approach for each individual person.

Beginning counseling or job coaching is an important life decision and a clear sign of one’s underlying health and resiliency. I find, more often than not, that people can be helped to release a level of optimism and resiliency that leads them to new, “do-able” goals and choices. All of this reflects a natural foundation of health, even when we experience such common challenges as depression, conflicts at work, fears, ongoing stress or anxiety. Counseling requires some risk-taking. It also takes a willingness to become more self-aware.

Specializing in treating substance abuse, low self esteem, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and postpartum depression/anxiety. I would love to support you through life transitions including getting married and having children (times that are happy but complicated and confusing as well) I treat teens and adults and have a special interest in couples, first responders and postpartum care.

The desire for a healthy relationship with oneself and others and having satisfying work or other pursuits of happiness are part of the human condition. Despite the "want" for this, achieving successful outcomes can be elusive. I am eager to work with you in helping to understand the problematic patterns of thinking, feeling, and doing that can keep you from getting what you desire. I practice a psychoanalytic approach and provide a therapeutic presence to explore your unique experience of being you. Together we can work toward a deeper knowledge of yourself which will lead to more emotional freedom and better choices for life satisfaction.
