I recognize and have a deep respect for the positive impact counseling can have on one's life. Having an impartial third party provide support and help one cope with any number of life's challenges can be invaluable. I believe the best therapists listen without judging and never dismiss or minimize rational or irrational fears as issues that adults "shouldn't" worry about. I practice an eclectic mix of theoretical approaches to empathically help individuals develop personal strengths and improve their self-awareness. My approach is collaborative, supportive, practical, and focuses on personal effectiveness. My areas of counseling interests include anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety, panic, phobias and social), issues related to self-esteem, stress-management and the impact family and relationships have on psychological health. I have significant experience helping people cope with depression, grief and loss, adjustment and transition, and other life challenges. After working fifteen years in financial services in Boston, I embarked on a career change that allows me to facilitate my desire to help others. My familiarity with the area, pace and stressors affiliated with working downtown helps me connect with clients seeking to incorporate counseling into their workday.
