Therapists in Hampshire County, MA

I help adults of all ages become more deeply in touch with their core emotions and core sense of self. I do this with a model of therapy called AEDP, which guides us moment by moment to how feelings show up in your body as we process experiences from your past and present. Staying attuned to this naturally unfolding somatic process accompanied by a therapist who feels truly safe can bring forth emotions' innate capacities to heal. This model works well for a range of issues, including: interpersonal trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and loneliness, among others.

Do you want to make changes in your life but feel too stuck to see a way forward? Do you have a complicated relationship with your body? You’re not alone and making change is possible.

Searching for a therapist can be one of the most difficult parts of coping, healing, and self-empowerment, because it's the first thing you must do. You must force yourself out of your comfort zone and out of whatever routine you've had before, to take the initiative and embark on a new path. When we're at our best, stepping out of our comfort zones can be daunting; when we're feeling vulnerable, it can seem nearly impossible. No matter what prompted you to take this first step, I'd like to be there for your second.

In my 35 years as a full time doctoral level psychotherapist I have handled an awesome sample of psychosocial situations. Rather than a jack of all clinical trades, I have been a master of those trades.The background information unfolds as we move forward rather than dominating the first few sessions with a tedious process designed to place the present on hold or to the side. For you and I that first beginning moment is actually right now as you read my words. Hopefully thos words will provide what you seek, or need, to know in order to pursue the best option.

Life can be difficult--sometimes, unnecessarily hard.

People often seek therapy during times of crisis, when they’re feeling particularly vulnerable and raw. Many people turn to psychotherapy to work through anxiety, depression, or trauma, or because they want to establish, repair, or deepen their relationships. Sometimes they want support adjusting to life transitions, or help developing personal insight and self-awareness. There may be clearly identifiable short-term goals that rise to the top during a crisis and are resolved in a relatively short period of time, but some people also like the process of self-exploration and growth that comes with the practice of more in-depth work.
