Welcome
Therapy is about feeling supported in making positive life changes. While this process looks different for everyone, it usually involves the ability to look at our own contribution to unhealthy patterns, and to be flexible and open to a range of thoughts, feelings, and perspectives. For couples and families looking to improve relationships, I can help you notice problematic communication cycles and develop new ways of talking to one another that will improve connection.
Specialties
I support individuals, couples and families in tackling a diverse range of challenges. Areas in which I have more extensive interest and clinical experience are:
Mood disorders (anxiety and worry, depression and sadness, self-esteem)
Relationship difficulties
Couples and family therapy
High school and college age students
Academic or career underachievement
Trauma and PTSD
About Me
I'm a graduate of Smith School for Social Work, completed advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy at Cambridge Health Alliance, and have been certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy through Boston University. I am also certified in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples therapy. My office is in downtown Northampton, MA.
In addition to private practice, I also provide mental health training and consultation to residential summer camps.
Fees & Insurance
My fee is $150 per session, but as one of my goals is to make psychotherapy widely available, if you cannot afford the full fee I have a sliding scale we can discuss. I also accept most “PPO” insurance plans.
