With 20 years of clinical experience & certifications in Gottman, EFT, CBT & DM, I specialize in couples' communication, conflict, infidelity, relational trauma, divorce, business partnership, neurodiversity, coparenting, sexual issues & midlife transitions such as menopause, intimacy & connection. If you are seeking individual therapy, I specialize in anxiety, depression, relational trauma & midlife transitions such as perimenopause & menopause. In addition to my clinical experience & extensive training, my personal journey as a partner in a 30-year marriage and as a parent to 2 adult children profoundly enriches my understanding of others. This lived experience deepens my empathy; enhances the authenticity of my therapeutic relationships & ensures a meaningful & transformative therapy experience. Good for you! You have taken a responsible and brave first step toward healing and finding your favorite self and a healthy relationship by researching therapists. Let’s get started! Offering in-person and Telehealth sessions in MA; Telehealth in NH & NY. I'm flexible with scheduling - contact me today for a free 15 minute consultation.
