Westfield Counseling Services

From time to time, most of us have internal conflicts. When in conflict there are "parts" of us that become unbalanced by challenging beliefs, attitudes, and feelings that were taken on at different stages of life. 

When we feel trapped and burdened by inner conflicts and also by our efforts to avoid hurt and pain, counseling can guide and support us in bringing curiosity and compassion to all of our "parts" with the aim of restoring balance, and having more inner harmony. Supportive counseling can guide you to tap into your inner wisdom and develop the self-knowledge, and self-acceptance you need to work with your life challenges. 

As a counselor I bring over 30 years experience working with children, youth, and families in a variety of professional settings. Over these years I have come to know that we are all capable of living deeply fulfilling lives, and that beneath whatever suffering we may be experiencing, we are all a wonderful and meaningful part of this world. My collaborative counseling approach aims to help clients safely embody presence, perspective, curiosity, creativity, playfulness and compassion by interweaving the principles of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO) Couple therapy, and the practice of Mindfulness.

I am currently accepting new clients.

My therapeutic approach focuses, above all else, on building a genuine therapeutic relationship with my clients. I will collaborate with you to create an open, caring, non-judgmental environment so that you feel safe sharing the struggles and challenges you are experiencing.

I have 13+ years experience working with parents, children, and couples who have faced a wide range of issues including domestic violence, divorce/separation, school related issues, depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders.What are you struggling with in your life? Do you have relationships with family and friends that you wish to improve? Are you grieving the loss of a loved one, or suffering from a recent divorce or separation? How has the pandemic impacted you and your loved ones? I look forward to hearing your story.

Life has wonderful qualities as well as difficulties which impacts people of all ages. Embarking on a journey to further explore, learn, making personal changes or supporting your family can be filled with an array of emotions. The wide range of the emotional world is a natural part of life. 

Adaptive coping, is something any adult or child may at some point need support with. In my practice, all ages are welcome and I have extensive experiences working with children. When working with children the power of family involvement is often critical for the goal being sought after with therapy.  I can help with the impact of trauma, attachment issues, processing adoption story, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I also support clients and families who are exploring gender identity.

I offer traditional talk therapy as well as alternative therapies such as sand tray therapy, art therapy and play therapy for children. These expressive, hands-on approaches are powerful tools that deepen our work and can lead to greater understanding of ourselves. As a therapist, I am present to guide you (and your family) to where you want to go.

Currently I accept BCBS, OPTUM, HNE, and AETNA
