EAP:Cigna Therapists in Massachusetts

Reaching out for help in the form of therapy is not an easy thing to do as many can attest, but by reading this biography, you are taking the first step in getting help for yourself or a loved one. At times, life offers many struggles and obstacles that can be difficult to overcome alone. Engaging in therapy will provide opportunities to explore and process the thoughts and feelings that prevent you from living your best life. Though the thought of therapy may be intimidating and even nerve-wrecking for some, I believe once a person finds the right therapist, they find a trusting confidant who seeks to understand and problem solve.

I have been most fortunate to have worked in the field of psychology, human services and higher education for four decades. Initially, I worked in a college counseling center while maintaining a private practice. Later, I became a professor and chairperson of the human services department while continuing to see clients privately. Through these years, I was able to balance teaching students about psychological principles and techniques while practicing therapy. I have developed programs and courses in Substance Abuse Counseling, Health Psychology and Positive Psychology and have been able to use these methods in counseling. I have learned much over the years sitting and listening deeply and unconditionally to those in therapy. I can offer a safe and open place to explore personal issues, helping to uncover sources of conflict, find clarity, a sense of purpose and meaning, as well as discover individual talents and strengths. I use psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, and mindfulness practices. Personally, I have survived serious illness and assisted and supported family members with very serious illnesses and believe I can help others in similar situations. I take the motto ‘that which does not kill me, makes me stronger’ into my sessions as a a guiding principle. As a lifelong learner I have also moved from focusing on psychopathology to a strengths-based model, specifically positive psychology, highlighting one’s strengths and talents and striving towards meaning and purpose more that the condition or diagnosis of an individual.

Holding space is the practice of providing a safe and supportive environment for someone to express their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment or interruption. It involves being fully present and attentive, allowing the other person to explore their feelings and navigate their own process. My 20 years of experience have allowed for a diverse background of traditions and practices that clients can implement in their personal journey. I value transparency in the therapist/client relationship.

Are you in a situation where friends and family are not enough help right now? There are times when almost everyone needs to talk to an objective person. If this is your first time in counseling finding out a little about about your counselor is just one of the steps you have to take. Another is understanding what counseling/therapy is. It's a confidential meeting with an objective professional trained to sort things out and identify if you are at risk of harming yourself because life is too painful to bear.
