About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Becket, Massachusetts. I help you address abuse, anxiety, mood, and relationship problems. I provide divorce counseling, psychodynamic therapy, relationship counseling, personal development, adoption support, and Ukraine aid.

Approach

My approach is highly interactive. I am an institute-trained couples therapist and I'm always alert to issues that pertain to poor communication skills. Anxiety and depression are frequently the products of difficult relationships and affect the way we feel about ourselves. You have probably been struggling with relationship issues for a long time. Why go it alone? I will help you grow your self and your relationships.
