BlueCross BlueShield Therapists in Newburyport, MA
It is all too common to be struggling with stress, worry, low mood, and uncertainty in our world today. I work with people around issues of anxiety and depression, loss, the suffering of trauma, struggles with relationships or family or work, life changes and transitions, and creative blocks. Sometimes people come to therapy because of past issues. Sometimes they are stuck in repetitive patterns of thinking and feeling without even knowing it. Sometimes they don't feel true to themselves or they have lost their way or zest for life.

As a psychotherapist and Life Coach I am trained in clinical social work as well as in exercise physiology. I understand how the mind, body and emotions are interconnected. When we are physically attuned, we are able to access deeper parts of ourselves. These deeper parts may be limiting due to old beliefs, negative behavior patterns, confusing emotions, and often times a combination of all three. Also, I bring to my clinical practice over 28 years experience in fitness and coaching team sports. Together we can work to set and achieve clear, obtainable life goals.

Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, stressed to the max? Do your days seem like nothing but "to do lists," "musts" and "shoulds?" The enormous stress of just trying to survive often leads to anxiety, depression, relational problems, work frustrations and all types of addictions. Finding life balance and satisfaction can be challenging, but it is possible. I offer a counseling process to help you identify what you most want in your life, what needs to change to get there, and how you can make changes in creative ways.

Whether a child, adolescent or adult, I'll aim to provide a secure private place to work in depth to understand the sensitive and hidden developmental, behavioral, emotional and/or perceptual needs and difficulties that impact your daily life. Often, disconnections with important others can disrupt life-satisfaction, adaptation, work or learning. Working together we will discover and build practical, relevant strategies, based on fuller understanding of the particular core patterns and troubles. The goal is always meaningful adaptation, lasting change and growth, toward engaging more fully with real world demands and relationships.

Anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one understands that healing takes a lot of time and energy. The intensity of symptoms associated with grief can make you feel like you are "going crazy." You aren't going crazy but you may need to talk to someone who understands. Because I am a bereaved parent, I have chosen to focus my private practice in providing care and guidance to those who have experienced loss.

Most of us want the same thing. We want to feel reasonably happy and at peace on a daily basis. Content. It is our individual paths and our own often complicated personal histories that make happiness so uniquely difficult to achieve, sometimes. It is the creative work of therapy to support a person's capacity to access the very best part of her or himself. Once this occurs, people, essentially, heal themselves.

Life can feel overwhelming at times. It’s especially hard when your child is the one that’s struggling. It’s painful for you to listen to them talk about how anxious, misunderstood, or alone they feel. Maybe they’re not talking to you at all, which makes you worry even more... There could be something else behind that heaviness in your chest. You may be facing stressful relationship dynamics, a health issue, a loss of some kind. You get through your days, trying to cross everything off the list, but aren’t finding much fulfillment or joy. You’re feeling unsettled, anxious or depressed.

We often get stuck in maladaptive beliefs and patterns of behavior that once helped us cope with shame, fear or anxiety. They get in our way of feeling balance and a sense of well-being in our lives. The more we can develop insight into the source of these issues and break them down into manageable pieces, the more rewarding our relationships, work and free time will become. We all have the capacity to make positive changes that improve the quality of our lives. It is a sign of strength and resilience to reach out for help.

It is my belief that our inherent most natural state is that of joy and well-being. I believe this to be true of everyone. Our life experiences and the beliefs that result often serve to distance us from our innate wholeness contributing to suffering. I see my role as a therapist as joining with you and facilitating your return to wellness through a variety of mind/body approaches. My goal is to meet you where you are and offer guidance as you process,gain insight,and release any obstacles between you and your capacity for living a wholehearted life.

As a licensed therapist I have a passion for supporting and empowering individuals to reach their goals. I began my career with a focus on women's mental health more specifically pregnant and postpartum women. Parenting is or can be stressful and/or isolating at different stages. I hope to provide a safe space to be honest with yourself to manage the stress and hopefully to decrease isolation. I have also worked with men and women with substance use disorder for the majority of my career. Sometimes we just need a safe space to talk through life and I would love to be the one to provide that space.
