My goal for you is:

• To understand and know yourself more fully.
• To gain an understanding of your “belief system” and how it operates.
• To access your higher wisdom, which can facilitate fulfillment of your potential, helping you live a more grounded and peaceful life.

I believe life is a continuous, unfolding of events geared toward attaining insight, authenticity, wisdom, inner peace, and a sense of being grounded within one’s self. This belief arose, over time, through my realization that all life experience (good and bad) contains value and without each drop of it, I would not be who I am today.

In addition to an abundance of life experience, my formal education includes: Double major Bachelor’s degree, psychology and philosophy; Framingham State University, Framingham, MA. Master’s degree clinical psychology; Fielding Graduate University, Santa Barbara, CA. Master’s degree counseling/psychology; Norwich University, Montpelier, VT. Doctorate transpersonal psychology; The Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, Palo Alto, CA. My work experience includes 26 years counseling people in a variety of settings.

My preference as a professional psychologist is predominately holistic and transpersonal.

Holistic psychology addresses your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health supporting the whole person not just your mental health needs. Holistic counseling prompts self-awareness and the ability to thrive on a deeper and more complete level.

Transpersonal psychology, considers human functioning from an expanded view; considering heightened levels of consciousness, transformation, and one’s spiritual nature. Transpersonal psychology facilitates a connection to your authentic self. Old patterns and beliefs are released. Thus, a greater sense of meaning and peace is achieved.

Additionally, I utilize concepts pertaining to your energy system which is based in an Eastern philosophy known as the chakra system. The goal is to understand more clearly the concept of energy flow, vibrating energy, blocked energy and how to work toward opening blocks that exist due to a variety of reasons, both simplistic and complex. Blocks can stem from just about anything including, your thoughts, everyday occurrences, and both recent and past experiences.

I introduce counseling options that go beyond traditional mental health counseling, such as:

• New and various ways to manage life challenges, inner turmoil, and problematic spontaneous reactions.

• Becoming more conscious of yourself, other’s and the world you live in.

• Realization that there is meaning and growth to be had in all life experience.

• A sense of being fully present, enhancing your capacity to live a more fulfilled life.

• Recognizing the complexities of your lived-life experience.

• Recognition of your “energy system” and how to keep it open and flowing.

I counsel, educate, inform, teach, share, and guide as well as portray your spirituality as a component of your lived life experience — Mind, Body & Soul.

I offer in-person visits in Barre, MA, as well as telehealth options, phone or zoom.
