Interpersonal Therapists in Lynnfield, MA
I specialize in areas that span from depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders and substance abuse, to life transitions and work, interpersonal, and cultural issues.
Psychotherapy is a journey of discovery and growth. “We know what we are, but know not what we may be” William Shakespeare wrote. As a psychotherapist I strive to facilitate that journey by creating a safe, comfortable and respectful environment that allows for free expression of thoughts and feelings. My psychoanalytic training provides me with the expertise and skill to look deeply into the experience of each client and to work together on overcoming the obstacles that stand in the way of one’s happiness and satisfaction in life. I am also an Emergency Responder & Public Safety Certified Clinician with over 12 years of experience.

Everybody is born with the capacity to enjoy life, to feel empowered, and to be healthy in mind, body, and spirit. Unfortunately, certain life circumstances such as abusive and toxic relationships, family conflict, trauma, failure, and loss can prevent people from feeling hopeful, worthy, or successful. In a supportive and nurturing environment, I have dedicated my career to helping others develop the positive habits, spiritual tools, and healthy thinking needed for them to heal and succeed.

I see people as separate from their problems. I work from a narrative perspective to help individuals, couples, and families identify their values and re-story their lives to align with their hopes and goals. Looking at past issues through a different lens allows us to rewrite our narratives to better reflect who we want to be. I see people as the experts in their own lives. My preference is to join you in your process, wherever that may be, rather than set my own agenda. I work with you to fight against dominant ideas telling you how you should be and help you to decide for yourself how you want to be.

I aim to serve marginalized youth and young adults (ages 8-30) struggling with anxiety & depression looking to commit themselves to a lifelong journey of healing. I subscribe to a universal truth we are all born absolutely whole. There is a falsehood introduced to us at an early age either from caregivers or manifestations of generational trauma embedded in our society; This falsehood may show up in various ways such as codependency, a scarcity mindset, or believing love is conditional. We then spend years building layers of identity around this falsehood about our self-worth & ability to be accepted and loved exactly as we are.

Interpersonal Therapists
Is interpersonal therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found interpersonal therapy to be effective for life transitions including retirement, divorce, and job loss. Also, some studies have found it to be just as useful as medication and other therapy approaches. The benefits of interpersonal therapy can last long after treatment has been completed; the individual can use the tenets of this therapy throughout their life.
How long does interpersonal therapy take?
Interpersonal psychotherapy is normally time-limited and focuses on specific problems in the client’s everyday relationships. Treatment can be either one-on-one or take place in a group setting; it tends to last 12 to 16 weeks, depending on the individual client’s needs. If a new interpersonal problem arises in the future, the client may require additional therapy to address it specifically. The timeline and session schedule may vary depending on the client’s challenges as well as their progress. Treatment may conclude with wrap-up sessions to review the client’s accomplishments.
Is interpersonal therapy effective?
Research shows that interpersonal therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of conditions such as depression or anxiety. The approach may also offer a range of benefits that are hard to measure but valuable—including healthier relationships and improved feelings of self-worth. The therapist will give the client practical solutions that can be put into practice. The brief duration of this therapy also means that clients can see changes in their relationships fairly quickly.
What are the limitations of interpersonal therapy?
Interpersonal therapy may not effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as psychosis, chronic illness, or alcohol relapse. Because it is short-term in nature, it may not be the best approach for conditions that need to be tracked, though maintenance sessions are a viable approach under these circumstances.
Can interpersonal psychotherapy be done online?
Yes, interpersonal psychotherapy can be conducted effectively either in-person or online. A therapist with expertise in IPT will be able to adjust their techniques, such as role-playing, to better suit the online environment. Offering online IPT can make it more accessible for clients who have transportation difficulties; it also provides the ideal opportunity to explore challenges unique to digital relationships.
