I have advanced training and specialization in couples work- Gottman levels 1-3, EFT externship and core skills, and a yearlong certificate in the Developmental model from the Couples Therapy Institute.
Therapy for couples and individuals with anxiety in MA and NH. Your relationship is on the rocks. One of you feels alone and misunderstood, the other just wants the fighting to stop. You’ve tried so much to change this relationship and nothing is working. You try to bring up things to your partner in a neutral way but it inevitably spirals into a conflict and before you know it you’re back in that same awful place of disconnection that seems to happen over and over again without resolution. You’re told you’re being too critical, too defensive, not listening enough. You feel like you are constantly walking on eggshells.

I work with older adolescents, adults, and couples.
Seeking out help for a problem that you can’t solve on your own is one of life’s more difficult – and brave – first steps. In my capacity as a clinical psychologist, I have witnessed so many people make transformational changes in overcoming depression, trauma, anxiety, and the problems that arise from both personal history and current difficulties. By tailoring the way I work to meet your specific and unique needs, we can, together, work toward both healing and expanding emergent capacities for positive change.

I believe that men are faced with conflicting expectations in our society that can lead them to feel frustrated, misunderstood and isolated. They are expected to be strong yet gentle, fierce yet sensitive, protective but not overbearing. Sometimes men get stuck in one role and cannot transition to another as the situation changes. My goal is to coach you on developing new strategies for addressing these issues and to help you break destructive patterns. While I focus on men's issues, all of my experience and techniques work with people in all walks of life and lifestyles.

I offer a focused biopsychosocial approach on each individual, couple or a family's presenting concern or desire for treatment. I place attention on medical as well as psychological concerns as I see them to be interconnected. I work with a systemic understanding of the individual. That is, I understand the individual to be a part of a system of relationships that includes family members, partners, colleagues, their social connections, culture and spiritual or faith-based practices. I studied meditation and mindfulness and apply them to my practice when applicable.

I offer counseling for adults and couples. With over 36 years of clinical experience, I'm also a parenting specialist, helping parents understand their children's behavior.

It makes sense to get help from someone who is trained to work with relationship problems but who isn't part of your personal circle.
I offer couples guidance and tools to figure out what's not working in your relationship and how to stop your pain. I can help you discover untapped personal power you didn't even know you had, to change your experience of your relationship from helpless dissatisfaction to purposeful enjoyment. Can I wave a magic wand over your partner and transform him or her into the "perfect mate"? Of course not. but I can teach you how to develop and use your own personal strengths and resources in ways you've never imagined, to invite positive change from both of you.

Some reasons people come to therapy include; anger, stress, relationship issues, trauma, loss of a baby/babies to abortion, Intimacy Issues, grief, defining roles in today's culture, health issues, lack of self care, expressing and identifying emotions.
I work with individuals and couples. Often men find it difficult to identify their emotions or are unable to translate their emotional experiences into words. I can teach you to learn behaviors and skills to allow you to better express emotions such as vulnerability, intimacy struggles, and perceived weakness. It is very important to most men to feel they are respected and appreciated. Men need a safe place to express their feelings of hurt and vulnerability. These are valid and important male feelings. Men can enhance their well being by learning to identify those feelings, express them appropriately, and be respected for them.

Couples and Relationship Counseling. ON-LINE VIDEO COUNSELING AVAILABLE. All of us enter marriage or a committed relationship with a dream of spending a whole life together. Many couples find themselves struggling at some point- experiencing dissatisfaction and emotional pain. Some want to work it out but don't know how. Others have reached the point where both partners want to end the marriage/ relationship. Still others are ambivalent, where one spouse is “leaning in” and the other “leaning out.” Some couples generally do well together but long to deepen their connection.

I initially focus on building a relationship with you and understanding your unique story.
Are you struggling with a major life transition? Perhaps you have lost lost someone significant, adopted a child, recently gone through a separation? Are you struggling because issues from your past seem to keep you from fully being the partner, parent or friend you desire to be and you don't know how to change? Or are you a Christian believer yet you struggle with anxiety, anger, and depression compounded by guilt because you "shouldn't feel like that"? You are not alone! I have helped many find hope, peace and joy even in the midst of challenging circumstances. You do not have to stay stuck!

Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
