Manage your anxiety
(stop letting it manage you)

Struggling with anxiety that just won't quit?

You don't need years of therapy. Most of my clients make real, lasting change in six sessions, and we start building skills right away

If you

Can't stop worrying

Snap at loved ones
Have the same fights with no progress towards resolution

Are afraid to speak up for yourself
Stay stuck in a toxic workplace because you're afraid another will be worse

Are frustrated by not being able to make progress on your own goals

Can't think of a solution to feeling overwhelmed other than to work harder...

We can

Make a change in 6 sessions.

I have 20 years of experience helping clients with these issues and I have a plan that works. We'll get started with coping skills right away; then consider communication skills to improve relationships and advocating for yourself; and develop self-care practices to maintain your physical, mental, and emotional health for the long run.

Reach out with a call or email - I would be psyched to hear from you!

Telehealth allows me to see anyone located in Massachusetts, from Pittsfield to Worcester to Boston and the Cape & Islands. I take BCBS, Aetna, and Tufts insurances, as well as private pay clients.

About me

I earned my Masters in Counseling Psychology at Lesley University in 2007. After years serving a wide range of clients and issues at community mental health agencies in Framingham and Worcester, I started a private practice in 2015. The pandemic took me to full-time virtual counseling, which I love for its convenience and accessibility for clients. I also love that I have a little assistant for my work, Champ, who helps me with walks throughout my day.

Between stimulus and response there is a space.

In that space is our power to choose our response.

In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

— Viktor E. Frankl

A Glimmer: Mary Oliver's Lines Written in the Days of Growing Darkness

so grateful for this beautiful graphic from https://www.facebook.com/PoetMaryOliver A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger-- something that sparks positive feelings, memories, responses. The writer Ross Gay does a beautiful job of recording these in his Book Of Delights ... or you could start your own glimmer journaling practice and make a note every day of the glimmers that elicited a happy response in you.

How to figure out what's bugging you

Have you ever felt anxious but could not figure out why? Irritable for no particular reason? You feel stress in your body but can't think what is stressing you out? When clients are describing that mysterious sensation to me, I'm always curious about the timing: when did that start? and what was going on at that time? Cluing in on the timing -- short or long term -- can often uncover the trigger. Short term, think back over your day until you land on when you were in a

How to have a mindful and best-ever holiday

Notice and reflect on this year in order to plan for next year and create your best holiday ever. Be mindful of your December (here's another excuse to get yourself a new journal and a cute pen!). Check in at the start or end of every day and ask yourself, how did that go? what did I love? what did I miss? would I want to do that again? do I wish I was doing something else? Take advantage of your awareness of how you feel in the moment of your December days, or reflect t
