My therapy practice is located in Wellesley and Concord MA at the Psychotherapy Collaborative. For over 25 years I have worked with adults in individual therapy and have also run divorce support groups for men and women. As a Focusing oriented therapist I see how this mindful practice deepens the therapy process in gentle and respectful ways. Focusing teaches self compassion and patience as people work on difficult issues; they learn to attend to their body sense of a life situation which can open pathways for growth and change.
I enjoy teaching Focusing to small groups and to individuals for personal enrichment.

I believe change occurs in the context of a therapeutic relationship which is respectful, compassionate, caring, and interactive. By understanding and appreciating your strengths and your current ways of coping, listening with compassion and curiosity, challenging gently with humor and sensitivity, I will work collaboratively with you to help make your relationships more satisfying and your life choices more expansive.
I integrate Focusing into all aspects of my work.

I believe that therapy, like life, is about a process of becoming.
I offer private counseling at my Back Bay office for adults struggling with a loss (a job, a love, divorce, death, or other personal losses), places of unforgiveness, anxiety, or the changes and complexities of everyday life.
I believe we each hold the answers to our own questions and struggles, and you can find your healing answers through a compassionate therapeutic relationship that includes mind, body and body-sense.

I help people to reconnect with the life they would like to live. Through getting in touch with their emotions and releasing them, they can find a fresh creative energy within. Most of my clients seek help with anxiety, excessive worries, depression, trauma, addiction or just a difficult relationship situation. I enjoy connecting with my clients and emphasize the power of a strong therapeutic relationship. I don’t promote “talking” therapy only. As a Focusing Certified Trainer I invite clients to feel their emotions directly in the body, to achieve a felt shift, relief and attunement with their intuition. “One step in the body is worth a thousand steps in the mind.” (Eugene Gendlin)
