I specialize in: Life Transitions, Adoption & Foster Care issues, Women’s Issues , Mindfulness and Trauma. All of which can be addressed through the application of various therapeutic styles that I use. Some of these would include: Gestalt, Psychoanalysis, Ecotherapy, somatic techniques and Mindfulness. I work with both adults and adolescents in individual and group therapy on Zoom and when possible, in person.

Ecotherapy is an evidence based therapeutic approach that explores the healing power that nature provides. In ecotherapy there is a belief that people are connected and impacted by the natural environment. Nature based therapy can ideally take place in an expansive natural setting (I offer seaside therapy groups on Cape Cod during the summer) or via Zoom. When a large natural setting is not possible, nature therapy is still available in alternative capacities such as access to a window, guided imagery exercises and sound. Nature plays an important role in our well being and I often work with patients to reclaim their sense of balance through connection and activity in nature. 

Gestalt therapy is a relational and humanistic form of psychotherapy that is highly experiential with a focus on the therapist-patient relationship.  In a session with a gestalt approach I would likely offer experiments, encourage you to notice present feelings and sensations and we would pay close attention to your body language during the session. Gestalt focuses on the here and now with less importance on past events. The goal is to become aware of your experience and perceptions & to notice your response to the present moment. Gestalt therapy promotes opening yourself to more choices and to actively challenge the roadblocks that have gotten in the way of your well-being.
