Adults Therapists in Wayland, MA

I work with teens and adults using a variety of theoretical models and evidence-based interventions. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, active and non-judgmental, and my style is warm, direct and authentic. My clients experience a range of distressing mental health issues including anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, issues related to GLBTQIA identity, and substance abuse/addiction. My goal is to reduce distress and assist people in the development of an enriching life.

My clients are typically teens (15+), adults or seniors (65+) struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, and life transitions. I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)- the gold standard treatment for OCD. In addition, I have experience and a special interest in working with individuals or their loved ones as they navigate significant illness, grief/loss or other issues stemming from receiving complex medical care. I believe that as the patient, you are in the drivers’ seat, and I am helping you read the map. There are multiple routes we can take, and together we will find the best one for you.

I love working with cycle breakers who are approaching burnout, who are done feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from their unique selves. My clients are learners, thinkers and healers, who appreciate understanding themselves, who strive to have deeper and more meaningful relationships, and who want to make a positive impact on the world and take responsibility for the trajectory of their lives. I believe that each client has their own unique strength and spark, and I actively build a safe space for therapy that also includes room for joy, creativity and laughter.

I am driven by directness and efficiency, and draw upon my humor, warmth, and ability to motivate. My approach is unencumbered by therapeutic conventions of insurance approval, clinical setting, and therapy tropes. I offer a novel approach to therapy for OCD, phobias, ADHD, anxiety, autism functioning concerns, and weight management. We will meet in a location of your choice (home, office, etc) or remotely. I do not accept insurance, and only you will determine the visit frequency.

Having many years of experience as a clinician, I believe the key to a positive therapy relationship is comfort and trust. My goal is to offer a caring and direct relationship that helps you make your life more meaningful/ less conflicted by building on your strengths and capacities. I use a combination of cognitive and relational thinking to help encourage curiosity into one's choices and to foster change. My clinical specialty areas are grief/bereavement and marital/couples/relationship work, with individuals as well as with couples/families. Importantly, I find the therapeutic connection is tender and, hopefully, life-changing.

We all face challenges, whether it’s with relationships, loss and grief, illness, parenting issues, work-life balance, or the realization that we may not be reaching our full potential at work, school, or home. We often develop problem-solving strategies but may encounter roadblocks in our quest to overcome our challenges. Seeking guidance from a therapist to examine & refine our approach could be a step toward living a happier, more productive & meaningful life, one that is consistent with our values. I recognize that asking for help and being open to change requires strength & courage, and choosing the right therapist is crucial.

For nearly four decades, I have had the privilege of working with and learning from hundreds of individuals, couples and families as they have wrestled with the challenges of their lives. Every person's story and circumstances are unique but if someone is helped by the work we do together, it is generally because we form a relationship of trust and connection. My decades of work with top tier professionals at Harvard Business School, has given me a deep appreciation of the interplay between professional and personal lives. My own commitment to lifelong learning enables me to bring state of the art care to my clients.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor working with individuals, couples, and families to help them identify and reach their desired goals. I mainly practice with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

My goal is to help clients gain confidence in their ability to handle life's challenges. Through an interactive exchange we will build awareness of how you are currently coping, then work on moving towards more effective ways of being. I have worked for 20 years with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, addiction and personality disorders.

Life can feel overwhelming, whether our distress stems from not getting what we want, or getting exactly what we wanted and yet somehow still feeling unfulfilled. Anxiety, depression, or battling addiction can lead to feelings of frustration and hopelessness. The process of talking in a therapeutic setting is essential in cultivating self-awareness and obtaining the wisdom to make healthier choices. Each person is unique, and I am committed to finding what works best for every person who seeks my support.

I consider it an honor to guide people on their journey through this life, to help them release old patterns of thought, feeling and behavior that interfere with their sense of well-being and wholeness, resolve the effects of lingering pain and/or past trauma, explore what is important and meaningful in their lives, and find new purpose and depth in themselves and in their relationship to the world around them. If you find yourself lost, in your relationships and/or your life, in a world that makes little sense, we can find a path and way of being that feels right for you in the most fulfilling way.

I am dedicated to helping and encouraging my clients to identify issues/obstacles and work towards applying this knowledge to find solutions and relief. Whether it be anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, sleep problems, stress or just feeling overwhelmed with life, I will listen to and collaborate with you to determine an effective therapeutic path.

These are stressful, uncertain times and many of us are coping with extraordinary circumstances while juggling multiple demands and roles. It can be easy to get overwhelmed. I can provide a space (virtually) that is completely yours to talk about what this experience has been like for you. I am a licensed clinical psychologist.

My goal is to support and guide you into living your best life. I believe in the inherent ability of all of us to change and grow if we are motivated, educated, and supported. I will help you find and develop your strengths and investigate new strategies for healing and growth. At some point we all experience life's stressors; I have particular experience helping people move through depression, life changes, grief, loss, workplace issues, anxiety and fertility challenges. I also enjoy working with people in recovery from alcohol misuse. I also do well helping people in their mid-late twenties navigate their challenges.

In the past, I have enjoyed working with individuals with a history of traumatic experiences, substance use, interpersonal difficulties, and psychosis.

Facing Senior Years? Now offering creative solutions as you adjust to life's later stages. I offer a compassionate ear and help with unexpected emotional hurdles; loss of spouse, retiring from workforce, illness, caretaker role. We will devise strategies empowering you to gain control of challenges, feel less stressed and alone. Along with gaining the wisdom of life's experiences, getting older usually means all kinds of changes to your body, with a wide assortment of medical specialists. Working together we will reduce fear and anxiety associated with treatments, doctors and the reality of physical change.

I believe that as unique individuals we should all be appreciated and understood from several angles - social, biological, psychological, cultural, and sometimes spiritual - to get the best sense of who we are as complete people. This requires a focus not just on our problems and challenges but also on our strengths and resources. These aspects of our identities color the way we give meaning to our past, our future, our relationships, and our struggles. Psychotherapy should be a process that recognizes these factors while creating a safe, caring, and creative atmosphere to provide treatment based on sound theory and research.
