I am a licensed clinical psychologist, who works collaboratively with clients to help them improve relationships and take better care of themselves emotionally. Adult children of aging parents, ACOA's, spouses of substance abusers and professional caregivers (including therapists) value my warm, collaborative style and respect for each individual's unique ways of adapting. Through my books, lectures and teaching, I have trained and supervised 100s of clinicians in group psychotherapy, as well as individual and couples therapy. I teach what I love about my work -- helping clients to feel more empowered in relationships, to improve self-esteem, and to deal with family-of-origin issues, communication problems, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and self-defeating behaviors (including addictions). As founder and former Director of the Substance Abuse Outpatient Clinic at McLean Hospital, I have helped family members to cope with the pain of chaotic and unpredictable lives, find more effective ways of intervening to help their loved ones, and improve the quality of their own lives. I have a special interest in helping clients deal with the complicated feelings and emotional upheaval often associated with major transitions in their own lives and those of family members (marriage, divorce,empty-nest, retirement and bereavement). This work may be done in individual therapy, couples therapy or group therapy.

Along with my twenty five years plus of professional counseling practice, I have a lifetime of challenges that have added to my understanding and compassion of my clients; Joyful experiences such as adoption to life altering traumas as death by suicide and illness of loved ones. All people are different and there is not just one or two or even three "appropriate" ways to deal with life events. Our timelines and our processing needs are individual. Each person is capable of knowing what is right for themselves. Together, respectfully, I help my clients find what is helpful for themselves. Then my client will reach their goals with my support, suggestion and encouragement. All efforts, whether productive or not, are valuable. Change is inevitable and my clients feel empowered to make adjustments that bring the results that are needed. Your journey,your life values; I will accompany you to understand and meet your own needs.

Using a relational model, I offer people a safe and trusting environment to explore life challenges, hopes and goals. My expertise is in trauma recovery, eating disorders/body image and addictions. However, I enjoy all areas of mental health and wellness. My approach to therapy is fluid, depending on where a person is at any particular time. Throughout the course of therapy, a person's needs change, so the approach needs to remain flexible. Some of the work I offer is related to family of origin, improving the quality of relationships, mind-body awareness and making cognitive-behavioral changes. I use various techniques that include psychoeducation, role play, psychodrama and an energy therapy called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

I provide short and long term psychotherapy to individuals and couples from late adolescence through adulthood in a private and confidential setting. I see individuals with a variety of needs including dual diagnosis and substance abuse, anxiety and depression, problems with interpersonal relationships and self-esteem, difficulties with trauma and abuse, addiction in the family, compulsivity and cross-cultural concerns. Additionally, I have a great amount of experience in addressing multicultural concerns and issues of adjustment and acculturation. My specialty areas are the treatment of mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety and trauma with co-occurring substance abuse problems and treatment of individuals affected by addiction in their families and relationships. In addition, I can provide psychotherapy in Spanish. My approach to treatment is psychodynamic and reflects my interest in Existential-Phenomenology and Psychoanalysis. I work with each individual to find and fulfill their personal goals. Some individuals I work with enter therapy with a specific goal in mind, while others are interested in gaining increased insight and awareness through ongoing psychotherapy.

I see therapy as a collaborative relationship that involves compassion and challenge. I actively engage with people to help them move through places where they are stuck in their lives. This may involve letting go of past hurts, learning loving kindness, developing skills and agency for living, and being able to play and experience joy. Each therapy is unique: it is devised to facilitate living a full, creative, and meaningful life. I work with individuals and couples. I am very helpful working with people in life transitions: Addressing blind-spots in current work situations that connect to unresolved historical issues; ways in which people are stuck regarding relationships, for example, compromising themselves because of an old and limiting version of their sense of self that is not true and leads them into unsatisfying relationships. I understand the importance of these aspects of people’s lives. I create a safe space for people to learn about themselves and experience themselves authentically.

I’ve been a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Massachusetts since 1988, working with individuals, couples, families, groups, and veterans. My clients say my commitment, engagement and honesty helps them open up and be real with me. I've published articles about stress, pain, geriatric psychology, and attitude change. Our relationship can begin with an initial free phone consultation. Sessions are 45 minutes. During our initial meeting, we set goals, determine approximately how many sessions might be needed, and decide what type of therapy would be most effective. My hobbies include yoga, biking, and creating stone and rock sculptures.

While I do provide general psychotherapy for adults, my specialty is addictions counseling. Having worked for many years with individuals and family members who have suffered because of the disease of addictions, I can attest to the reality that the quality of life and relationships become significantly better with treatment. I offer individual and couples counseling and work with people in all phases of the disease. Becoming sober is the beginning of recovery. With the help of an addictions expert , as well as 12step programs, life does get better for all.

Starting therapy can often be daunting, so please don't hesitate to reach out to discuss your needs and goals for treatment in a safe environment. I continue to offer a client-focused, personalized approach to therapy utilizing various cognitive and psychodynamic modalities. This may mean addressing early life influence on your current daily function, or specific goals for your relationships with yourself, loved ones, and the world around you. Whether it is solution focus for a specific need, or healing, personal growth, and exploration- positive change is possible and within reach. The client defines both the work and its pace. As a colleague once said, "My job is to put myself out of a job". As such, it is my goal to aid clients in building a strong critical toolbox that can be taken into the world, allowing healing, personal improvement and exploration, emotional regulation, and thus better relationships with self and others.

I believe everyone has the capability to make positive changes that will help enhance their quality of life.

I believe in the greatness and the power of will and that every individual has the strength and the resilience within themselves to create their own path.

Treatment is results oriented, which means we work together at the beginning to define the changes that are meaningful to you. In a basic sense, psychotherapy is for thinking about feelings. We are all part of systems, be they family, work or society. The outcome is more freedom to be yourself. With children, treatment approach is family-centered. In the long run, the best therapist for your child is you, the parent. Parent consultation is an integral part of treatment for children and teens. Play space, art therapy and parent observation available. Psychological testing and family meetings are options. In Couples Counseling or Marital Therapy the patient is the relationship. In couples treatment, i thoughtfully guide your interactions to encourage better understanding of each other. This approach reduces the tendency to blame one another for differences, and leads the two of you into your own manner of accepting them. Pet-Assisted Therapy (PAT).
