I have spent 25 years practicing Multi-Modal Family Centered Therapy. I have developed this method because it offers the ultimate in versatility. In over twenty years of facilitating in-home family therapy I have gained experience in methods offered by few providers. I am often the entire family's or neighborhood's therapist as I do it all. I am available to affect as many or as few elements of your environment based on your needs and co-created treatment plan.

After growing up in Massachusetts, a lifetime of travel opened my eyes and heart to the many ways people live and make meaning of experience. This perspective has informed the strengths-based, person-centered approach to my work as a therapist. Social work has been central to my professional life long before receiving my degree. I began my career leading youth programs, have worked in domestic abuse advocacy, facilitation of women's groups and dialogue facilitation. Through a narrative therapy lens, I work with clients to make meaning of their life experiences and live more closely to the values they feel are most important.

Please note: VERY limited availability at this time. I work with adult clients who want to use expressive arts therapy and therapeutic humor in addition to traditional talk therapy to help overcome the obstacles that are keeping them from living their best life. This approach can benefit those who have experienced trauma, are struggling with depression, or anxiety, or would like a new way of coping with ADHD. No need to be an artist to reap the many benefits of expressive arts therapy!

The most important aspect of talk therapy is establishing empathy with the unique perspective of each client. Feeling and communicating empathy to the client allows us to work on the issues that bring the client to treatment. I am trained in all the major therapeutic modalities and strive to match each person's needs to the particular therapeutic modalities that seem best suited for our work.

I create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment in which clients can feel comfortable sharing their experience of grief, sorting through confusion, overcoming challenges, improving relationships and expressing themselves fully. My practice is rooted in mindfulness. Mindfulness is a skill that can be learned by anyone, and can help us to become more aware of what we are thinking, feeling, and doing that stands in the way of accessing our most authentic and healthy self. I take a holistic approach to my work, with a belief that the mind, emotions and body are interconnected.

My ideal client has hope that by understanding their own habitual patterns of thought and emotion they can improve the quality of their lives. It could be a recurrent pattern in a relationship or tendency that is not recognized in other areas. Most of these patterns are unconscious or partly conscious. Everyone has recurrent patterns of thinking and feeling that are just more or less dysfunctional. We tend to repeat what is familiar to us.

I specialize in working with couples who are experiencing difficulties. No partnership is without disappointments, confusion, and an experience of minor or major betrayals. Yet these predictable challenges invite us to broaden our capacity for understanding and enter new depths of intimacy as we repair and heal. As a marriage and family therapist with a focus on sexuality I believe that no matter what the difficulty, we can reshape our relationships to have the kind of deep connections we yearn for. I help couples strengthen relationship skills and develop tools to end negative patterns and establish deep intimacy.

I am committed and passionate about helping individuals improve their quality of life. Sometimes we have such uncomfortable feelings that we don't know how we will make it through the day. Sometimes really bad things happen to us and around that we might not know how to manage. Sometimes our bodies and minds take over and we feel like we have no control over our lives. We try to understand and control the symptoms: the anxiety, depression, anger, headaches, insomnia, stomach pain and fatigue. Sound familiar? I believe that understanding the mind-body connection is the first step to improving your mental health and well-being.
