Therapy can give you the motivation, skills, and perspective needed to:

• Feel less anxious
• Feel better about yourself
• Maximize your performance and potential
• Improve the quality of your relationships

Making the decision to enter into a therapeutic relationship takes courage and commitment but can help those dealing with the following challenges:

• Anxious feelings are affecting your life in negative ways
• You are not feeling good about yourself
• You want to do better in school, with sports, or at work
• You are having difficulty communicating with your spouse or family members
• You feel like your marriage is failing, or are you the victim of an affair

If you are ready to consider professional counseling-I can help you reduce and better manage stress and anxiety related to:
Fears, Obesity, Low Self-Esteem, Public Speaking, School or Professional Athlete Sports, Academic and Class Testing, Work Place Problems, Trauma, Health, or Dental issues.
Using a warm and interactive style, I provide collaborative, strength-based, individual and couples therapy using a wide range of treatment options such as psychodynamic (how the past impacts the present), family systems (how family relationships influence one’s life), and solution-focused (problem-solving strategies). For those open to it, hypnotherapy (Hypnosis) can oftentimes be an effective way to reduce anxiety, and improve relaxation in stressful situations.

Some people refuse to try therapy. There are those who are fearful. Others doubt they can change. Some believe they should do it on their own. Whatever the reason, they might be missing out on an opportunity for learning to make healthier choices and live a more fulfilling life. I believe it is a journey that can bring change and growth in a way one might not have thought possible.

Training and Experience:
In 1979 I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Worcester State College. A year later I entered the graduate program at Boston University School of Social Work where I was awarded a University-Affiliated Fellowship to train at Children’s Hospital for two years. In 1982 I received my M.S.W. Since that time I have taken numerous postgraduate courses including a one-year certificate in Clinical Social Work and a one-year intensive course in Hypnotherapy. My professional memberships include the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis and the National Association of Social Workers. Over the years, I have done presentations on a wide range of topics for various organizations.
