In Person Therapists in Medford, MA

I am passionate about helping people. I spent over 14 years working in prevention as a high school and middle school health educator and most recently have 9 years helping people who struggle with alcoholism, substance misuse, and addiction. I truly believe recovery is possible for everyone. I am familiar with various screening and assessments and will work with my clients to develop treatment plan goals that are appropiate. I have knowledge of multiple pathways of recovery, CBT, DBT and use a Humanistic approach while meeting people where they are at and using motivational interviewing to helping clients with ambivalence.

I strive for a space where each individual feel seen, heard and cared for. I aim to bring a warm hearted, respectful and non-judgmental presence in order to create safety to explore thoughts and feelings.

Accepting new clients- weekend and evening availability!

Life is inherently uncertain, and with that comes challenges. You're not alone in navigating those challenges and I am here to help support you along the way. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Registered Drama Therapist. Drama Therapy uses your story, the roles you play in your life, and metaphor to help process topics beyond just talking about them. I work with adults and couples with anxiety, depression, women’s issues, OCD, relationship challenges, life transitions, work/life balance, and family issues. Book a complimentary 15 minute consult by reaching out to me here on Psychology Today.

From the outside you appear put together and accomplished, yet inside you don’t always feel that way. Sometimes you worry about things you can't control, create plans for the possible “what ifs” down the road, and wonder if others will discover that you don’t actually have it all figured out. You can’t calm your mind or find a healthy balance, and it’s getting in the way of your ambitions. You’ve tried managing on your own yet feel stuck. We can work together to harness your inner strengths while mending the parts that make life feel challenging.

Are you a senior seeking support in navigating complex life decisions? Or a caregiver for a senior, struggling to manage it all? Or are you grieving the death of a loved one? I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with 25 years of experience with expertise in adjustment to major life changes, the process of making big later-life decisions, grief and loss, coping with disability and/or loss of independence, dementia, elder abuse and neglect, harm reduction, managing anxiety and depression, and the aging process. I take a holistic approach, incorporating mind, body, and spirit.

“Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, going through a transition or needing support resolving a particular issue you need to feel heard and understood. I feel that healing and change are most readily achieved in a compassionate, non-judgmental and supportive environment. I have worked extensively with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, loss and trauma. My emphasis is on identifying strengths and working collaboratively to increase awareness, coping ability and well being."

I approach therapy as a collaborative experience; I will work with you to figure out what you need and how I can support you, while encouraging you to recognize and make use of your strengths. It's very important to me to build trusting, supportive therapeutic relationships and to provide a safe space where you can feel seen, understood and accepted. I work with an open mind, a sense of humor, and a creative, body-oriented approach. Mindfulness, movement, art, writing, drama and play can be used during our sessions to help promote self-expression and self-exploration. I hope you find what you need in your search!

The events of the world around us present new challenges too uncertain and too fast for mastery. And though the challenges may be unfamiliar, the self that experiences them may be all too familiar, as we experience a resurgence of old worries and tensions. Sometimes a crisis in our lives presents an opportunity to grow, as we find our old patterns no longer work for us.

Looking for therapy can feel scary and vulnerable, but the instinct to open yourself to help is a very healthy one. You may be struggling in important relationships and looking for a supportive environment to help you navigate confusing issues, clarify your boundaries, and develop stronger relational skills. You may be facing emotional pain around a loss, trauma, or period of major stress, and looking for help finding your balance and making meaning of what is happening. You may be grappling with inner turmoil brought on by depression, anxiety or compulsive behaviors.

I am a licensed psychologist in Massachusetts and I provide individual therapy to adults. My areas of particular interest include: depression, anxiety, stress management, relational concerns and conflicts, gay/lesbian/bisexual issues, trauma and healing from traumatic experiences, veterans issues, and relational concerns and conflicts.

I am a Jungian analyst and a clinical psychologist. I do psychotherapy with adults who have anxiety, depression, relationship problems or problems of self-acceptance. As a Jungian analyst, I work with adults who want to further their self-understanding, and possibly work on dreams, spirituality and find more fulfillment in their lives and relationships.

At this time my practice is full. I will update this information when I have openings. Thank you. There are times in our lives when we need help with life's challenges. These could be related to relationship difficulties, family concerns, or work/school issues. They might stem from how we feel about ourselves. As a seasoned Clinical Social Worker, I have experience helping clients of all ages and provide a safe and supportive place to be able to examine concerns and work towards creating change.
