I have extensive experience and skills working with adults and teenagers who are dealing with many different challenges and life circumstances. My approach is active, collaborative, and sensitive to each individual’s needs and goals, provided within a caring and supportive environment. In a goal focused and collaborative way I help my clients understand and modify ineffective habitual relationships and behavioral patterns. I seek to help clients better understand themselves in the context of their histories.
I worked inpatient/outpatient at Boston Medical Center in Adult and Child Psychiatry, Med/Surg,Trauma, Maternity and Geriatrics for 30 years. I was a psychotherapist at Arbour Counseling conducting individual and substance abuse counseling groups. I worked at Newton-Wellesley Hospital on their Psychiatry Unit and Wilmington Family Counseling conducting individual and couples therapy.
