I understand that the decision to seek psychotherapy is usually not under the most desirable of circumstances and is a choice that not only takes willingness and courage, but requires a considerable time and resource commitment. While people engage in psychotherapy for help with various challenges, for it to be beneficial, I believe of precedence is the fit between therapist and client. This foundation allows us to explore vulnerabilities, process difficult emotions and experiences, and come up with creative solutions to problems together.

Currently accepting new clients! I have experience with a client base of all ages. My special interests lie in facilitating better communication and enriching relationships, breaking cycles of co-dependency, improving self-esteem and self-worth, and helping individuals achieve their life goals and visions. I work best with a client who has a desire to take part in the process, who has insight into their problems and who is willing to work in between sessions using therapeutic tools that I give them.

I consider myself a teacher. While individual histories, financial circumstances and issues may vary, my clients share a common tie in their desire for a better life. Anxiety, depression, relationship issues and other symptoms are a direct result of an underlying belief system problem. Many of those beliefs are unconscious and the goal of good therapy is to address those underlying issues. My process is at once practical, thoughtful and life changing and I often find that people who have tried other types of therapy often feel relieved to have found my approach refreshing.

Wise ones have advised, "Know thyself." My work as a therapist is to assist you to do just that...to help you learn about yourself, but to learn with much more compassion and empathy than you've likely allowed yourself before. Whether you are seeking couple's, individual, or family therapy, I will work with you to understand the issues you name more fully. We will then identify resources, strategies, and tools you can use to address and manage those issues more effectively. I utilize psychodynamic, CBT, EMDR, mindfulness-based, and relational approaches, and attempt to offer a holistic perspective.

"Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still." As this Chinese proverb wisely reminds us, we all have the capacity for growth, positive change and self-improvement. If this is a journey you are ready to embark on, I would be honored to walk with you... I have 15 years of experience working with adults, couples and families with a range of challenges including depression, anxiety, phobias, parenting, loss/grief and life transitions, including aging. My recent focus is couples work and I have completed trainings through Harvard Medical School/Cambridge Health Alliance and at the Ackerman Institute.

We may encounter many challenges along our path. Challenges may include loss, chronic/terminal illness, trauma and mood disruption. At times, we can manage these challenges on our own. At other times, working with someone can be of benefit - perhaps even a necessity - allowing us to understand and move through the challenge; reconnect with ourselves and others and generally function better in the world. As a licensed psychotherapist and clinical social worker, I offer my knowledge, skill, curiosity and compassion in a safe, comfortable and non-judgmental environment to support you and/or family members in this process.

"I can't get no satisfaction." (Mick Jagger). I haven't met anyone who hasn't struggled with discontent at some point in their lives. "Discontent" not like annoyance when the TV remote stops working (!) - but, when it seems as if no matter how many back flips we do, we can't shake that feeling of inadequacy because we're unable to make someone (Mom/Dad/Children/Boss/Friend) happy; when we're feeling anxious, frustrated, powerless, or angry about a situation; or when we need another set of eyes to help us recognize how "good enough" we really are.

"I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families from age eighteen through every adult decade. My style is interactive, collaborative, and non-hierarchical. My emphasis is on promoting psychological resilience by helping my clients expand their copings skills in the manner of resilient individuals. You do not have to be unusually healthy or come from a terrible past in order to benefit from the lessons of the resilient. I am equally comfortable and conversant with agony as much as ecstasy. If you are motivated to change through therapy, you are highly likely to be a lot happier with yourself and your life over time."
