Life is complicated and it can feel overwhelming and stressful at times. We each have our own strengths and vulnerabilties and I greatly enjoy working together with my clients to build on their strengths, manage their vulnerabilties and make their lives feel less difficult and more satisfying and meaningful. Psychotherapy can help you cope with feelings of sadness, anxiety, disconnection and self-doubt, as well as to help you feel less alone with life's challenges.
We can work on improving your communication skills, making more rewarding choices and developing healthier coping mechanisms. Having an objective, non-judgmental place where you feel listened to and understood leads to greater self-awareness, more fulfilling relationships and a more enjoyable life. I am an experienced, thoughtful, warm, active and compassionate therapist.
My 25 years of clinical experience includes having been a senior clinical social worker at Children's Hospital as well as having taught Clinical Practice at the Smith College School for Social Work.

Services
Since receiving my MSW degree from the Smith College School for Social Work over 20 years ago, I have specialized in psychodynamic and attachment informed individual psychotherapy, with an interest in mind-body issues.
I am a thoughtful, active, warm and compassionate therapist.
I enjoy working with my clients to develop curiousity about themselves and their struggles and to work towards greater self-compassion.
I see psychotherapy as a place where we can safely talk about painful issues, be they past or present, and I believe that not feeling alone with difficult experiences can make them much more tolerable.

I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues, providing services that span from therapy for depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues to support and problem-solving around work and life stress.

Everyone has times in their lives when they feel worried.
There are a lot of stressors in everyday life and it can be hard not to to feel anxious at times.
Some anxiety is useful, such as when it motivates you and helps you to achieve or complete something.
It is less useful when it starts to feel overwhelming and intereferes with things such as completing tasks, socializing, sleeping and eating.
When anxiety starts to feel as though it is keeping you from taking care of yourself, having healthy connections with other people and getting things done, then you may have an anxiety disorder.
