How I work with clients
My work is both holistic and systemic: the whole person and their environment. I also have experience in making sense of diagnostic testing in complex cases, and helping families coordinate care between professionals, agencies, etc. I also offer psychedelic integration following experiences ("trips") on psychedelics/entheogens (eg. Psilocybin, MDMA, LSD). I am offering Ketamine Assisted Therapy in the Boston area and in the Berkshires.
Therapeutic Approach
I focus on people's strengths through a resilience focused model (as opposed to a weakness or "pathology" focus). This is a focused short term therapy model with a practical focus on helping people find effective and lasting strategies to deal with their challenges. When appropriate, therapy might be longer term.
Biography
People come to see me when they feel stuck and have had enough. I help parents help their children; help couples and families get closer and happier; and in general help people successfully resolve issues such as: stress, anxiety, adjustment to new life circumstances (relocation, family changes), relationship issues (divorce, extra-marital affairs, conflict), and dealing with difficult family members. I work with individuals and families dealing with medical conditions that can be affected by stress (Gastrointestinal issues, pain, sleep disturbances). I also work with people interested in specific skill building such as: stress/anxiety management, assertiveness and dealing with conflict, communication, and more.
