My work is informed by an optimistic belief in people's resiliency and ability to change and grow. I approach therapy as an opportunity for transformation. I work with high functioning, motivated clients who are ready to take a serious look at the direction of their lives and are wanting to grow. I would describe my style as warm, engaging, collaborative and attuned. I have developed a wide range of specialties from which to draw in order to meet each client's specific needs. After 30 years, I continue to find the practice of psychotherapy interesting, rewarding, challenging and fun. I utilize relational, psychodynamic, existential, cognitive behavioral and family systems theory and approaches. I am an AASECT certified sex therapist and am certified as an Imago couple's therapist. I was trained in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction at UMASS Medical School. Additionally, I have extensive training and experience in EMDR, Internal Family Systems and coaching. My sex therapy work includes working with desire discrepancy, affair recovery, sexual identity, sexual function concerns, sexual compulsion, exploration of kink and navigating open relationships and polyamory. I work with couples of all orientations who are wanting to improve their connection. Additionally I provide Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.
