I enjoy using mindfulness, meditation, stress management and anxiety reduction techniques. I employ cognitive-behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment therapy and other techniques to help clients build on their existing strengths. I support clients toward developing additional skills to empower themselves through difficult times. I have observed therapy to be an invaluable tool that can help to guide us along our path. It is a resource to assist in building the life we choose and design for ourselves, especially when facing challenges and obstacles.
Through the past decades of my work, I have enjoyed working with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages in a variety of settings and situations. I've worked in homeless shelters, schools, hospitals—Mass General Hospital’s oncology department and in psychiatry at Berkshire Medical Center. I've worked with people who have experienced trauma, with individuals and families who are trying to find balance and cohesion in relationships in their lives. I’ve encouraged people who are making major life transitions and are questioning their decisions. I have assisted those struggling with stress, anxiety and depression that impedes their daily lives. I’ve supported people who are grieving the end of a relationship or the death of a loved one, and with those who feel lost, alone, or misunderstood.
It is my mission to support you in hearing and using your own voice to identify the life plan you have for yourself. Together we will explore the challenges that stand in your way and recognize the strengths you already possess. I will collaborate with you to design your map for your journey toward your future. With the variety and richness of experience I will bring into our work together, we will have plenty of resources and tools to assist you in striving toward your goals.

I feel honored each time I am given the opportunity to accompany someone on their way to a more balanced, vibrant, and joyful life. I aim to create a sense of safety and connection in every therapy session to increase the possibility for transformation.
My work is informed by cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), positive psychology, and various mindfulness and body-based practices.

Pain and struggle are part of life. Sometimes they can feel overwhelming and endless. My many years of personal and professional growth have taught me that deep and lasting change is indeed possible. Sometimes it’s helpful to have a trusted guide along the way. My approach is heart-centered, strength-based, and collaborative. Together we will explore the nature of your current challenges with curiosity and compassion.
I am currently in supervision as I work towards completing independent licensure requirements.

Wellness and quality of life are what I strive for in my practice. Many years of working as an early childhood clinician has enhanced the practice of providing excellent psychotherapy services to young children, teens, young adults and parents. The knowledge I've gained from working as a primary care counselor at the McGee Unit Detox Center and as a clinical director at an addiction campus has increased my ability to help with substance abuse issues. The 15 plus years working as a medical social worker at Berkshire Medical Center has given me the opportunity to work with various mental health and substance abuse conditions, as well as with patients who have co-morbid conditions such as cancer and diabetes. Grief work and counseling families through divorce and custody concerns are other areas of psychotherapy that I also provide.
I accept private pay on a sliding fee scale. I am accepting new patients and have openings on Saturdays.
Insurances Accepted: Blue Cross Blue Shield, e-4 Health, Health New England, Tufts, as well as some other insurances. Private pay $50.

IMMEDIATE OPENINGS AVAILABLE.
I am a master's degree student in the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Antioch University of New England who is interning at the Berryman Professional Building with Darlene C. Berryman, LICSW, LLC. I am training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) as well as employing elements of narrative and structural approaches to my practice. I can incorporate mindfulness exercises as well as existential and psycho-spiritual themes for those who are interested. These methods are useful as the problems that bring people to seek out psychotherapy often impinge on questions of meaning and purpose. I see my role as a compassionate, non-judgmental listener who honors the autonomy and personhood of my clients. This is done while offering insights, suggestions, and reflective activities between sessions.
I have lived in a variety of places among different social and demographic groups throughout my life. I feel comfortable and competent working with a wide range of people with regard to ways of life, world views, goals, and struggles. No client needs to feel hesitant about sharing his or her thoughts and stories.
Insurances Accepted: Sliding scale fees.

CURRENT OPENINGS AVAILABLE.
I consider myself fortunate to be able to practice counseling in Berkshire County and to be able to help individuals create meaningful changes in their lives. My aim is to collaborate with each of my clients to create and implement a plan that helps accomplish their goals.
I have training and experience treating anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, mood disorders, and many other challenges that benefit from counseling. Clinical interests and specialties of mine include obsessive-compulsive disorder, perinatal/postpartum mental health issues, and working with survivors of abuse and domestic violence.
Integrating cognitive-behavioral methods with a positive and person-centered therapeutic alliance is often my approach in sessions. I value the importance of treating the whole person while also addressing specific symptoms, and believe strongly in the benefit of metaphor and narrative as it relates to therapy.
I am a Massachusetts Licensed Mental Health Counselor, NACBT Certified Anxiety Specialist, and am part of the Berkshire County Trauma Response Team.

I have been a Registered Dietitian for more than 30 years. What I love most about my work is the opportunity to partner with my clients and enable them to reach their personal health and wellness goals through achievable and sustainable lifestyle strategies. I do my best to make each session interactive as success increases when clients get to play an active role in creating their wellness plan. Health and nutrition is so much more than simply counting calories. Paying attention to food quality, meal timing, setting up an environment to support making the right choices, mindfulness and exercise are also critical factors to success.
More than 25 years of my work as a dietitian has been devoted to worksite wellness/health in both nutrition and fitness. I have worked with employees from more than thirty sites in Berkshire County and have enjoyed helping clients through a wide variety of activities including: individual nutrition counseling, creating health challenges, running weight loss programs, leading supermarket tours, developing heart rate based training programs and creating nutrition workshops.
One of my most rewarding experiences through Wellness was becoming a certified Canyon Ranch Institute Life Enhancement Program Leader. I have also been a Master Instructor for the SPINNING®program with Mad Dogg Athletics, Inc. since January of 1998. The job has connected me with literally thousands of instructors and students who have transformed their health and lives through nutrition and exercise. I have also presented nutrition courses, rides and workshops at a total of 16 internationally attended SPINNING®conferences, better known as WSSC.
I became a Wellcoaches® Certified Health and Wellness Coach in December of 2015. I have been a Certified Lactation Counselor since October of 2003. I also earned certificates through the Commission on Dietetic Registration on Adult Weight Management and Pediatric and Adolescent Weight Management.
