Psychotherapy for Cambridge and Newton towns

Do stress and worry get in the way of your participating fully in life? Do you have trouble being yourself in relationships? Are your choices guided by what looks good to others and not what’s best for you? Are frustration, stress and negative thinking getting in the way of your well-being? Are you struggling to make an important choice or adapt to a new change in your life?

These are common problems I help my clients with. I provide a space away from the demands and distractions of daily life so that we can focus on your challenges, needs, and goals for therapy.

  • Improve mood and attention

  • Manage major life transitions

For Couple Clients Seeking Couples Therapy

Is your relationship troubled by resentment, criticism, or silence? Do you feel like you’re walking on eggshells? Are you struggling to be heard and understood? Are you living like roommates rather than romantic partners? Is your relationship lacking sexual chemistry or vitality?

These are common problems I help my couple’s clients with. By creating a safe and neutral environment, I help couples work through the anger, disappointment and frustration that builds up through failed attempts at solving persistent problems. Together, we work to resolve these problems and rebuild the connection that brought you together.

  • Communicate better

  • Reduce anger and frustration

  • Stop repetitive arguments

  • Listen and be heard

  • Create more a supportive relationship

  • Increase sexual intimacy

  • Build trust

What to expect from the therapy process?

Some of the ways I help my clients is to alter negative thoughts, improve mood, reduce anxiety and stress, build more fulfilling relationships, adopt a more optimistic approach, and make better choices. My approach is tailored to each client’s needs, strengths and goals.

In the initial sessions, I ask the couple to talk about the difficulties that led them to seek to counsel. I want to understand not only your challenges but your strengths. As I get to know you, my feedback includes offering a new approach to your problems that you can practice at home. I help you to communicate better, fight less, and support each other more.

Throughout this process, I create a safe and neutral environment in which both partners feel heard and comfortable sharing their experience.

Intensive Couples Therapy

Intensive couples therapy is for couples who need more immediate results than traditional, weekly couples’ treatment. If you need to resolve a crisis, come to a decision about a time-sensitive issue or to relieve from acute distress, intensive couples therapy may be right for you. Intensive couples therapy involves meeting 2-3 sessions per week for extended sessions.

Here are some issues intensive couples therapy can address:

  • affairs

  • recent separation

  • escalation of conflict

  • exhaustion from persistent, irresolvable issues
