I am a clinician at our Marlborough clinic who provides therapy services!

The ideal client would be an individual who needs support in improving their overall coping strategies and developing a sense of self that they feel comfortable with. Talk therapy is an avenue to assist individuals in being able to take self-inventory, evaluate their identified belief systems and challenge them in their thought processes and behaviors. An individuals Goals around improved coping and growth would be the underlying focus to the more specific goals that would be set. Ideally, decrease in identified symptom, maladaptive behaviors, and increased coping strategies, self-care and self-value.

I offer skills set in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help challenge negative thoughts and fears, Narrative Therapy that assists individuals in “rewriting” their life stories and experiences to help empower individuals by adjusting their perspective of events. I also implement skills of Solution focused and Brief Therapy which supports individuals in staying focused on the current days event, how to problem solve and find peace in the here and now. DBT or Dialectical Behavior Therapy is also utilized to help individuals who are trying to manage intense emotional responses and interpersonal relationships.

I come with life experience including, marriage, divorce, relationship conflicts, raising a large family with adult children and grandchildren where we have dealt with hardships, great joy and losses and many challenges. I work from a place of love and respect for all. I utilize compassion as well as laughter. (Humor is a powerful thing) My hope is to support those in need on their life journey.
