Domestic Abuse Therapists in Weymouth, MA

"Feeling like things need to change?" I have worked in the mental health field for the last 25 years with a wide variety of people. I have treated people for depression, trauma, anxiety-related issues, family problems, substance abuse, and other mental-health issues. I enjoy working with an individual, couple, or family with whatever issue that is presented. My past experience, which included working in corrections, has given me the ability to help an individual cope in the most undesirable circumstances. I have also been certified as a licensed drug and alcohol counselor.

Are you feeling stressed or overwhelmed by events that feel out of your control? Do you notice unhealthy patterns in the choices you make? These feelings of powerlessness and vulnerability can understandably lead to anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, or anger. Potentially, these emotions can impact the relationships you have with your partner, children, friends or coworkers. As a psychotherapist, I have been helping clients for over 15 years understand and change dysfunctional patterns, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. I am an active participant in the process, and try to help my clients develop insight and solutions to their problems.
