I strive to help clients by being curious, kind, reliable, and insightful. This is how I believe therapy helps people to grow, and to ultimately feel better about themselves and their lives.
I primarily work through a psychodynamic lens, focusing on a client's emotional life, exploring connections between a client's past and present, and addressing internal conflicts. I also use ideas found in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy such as exploring thought patterns and negative core beliefs.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Amherst
Searching for therapists in Amherst starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy in Amherst, MA for concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach fit your needs. Bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Amherst is a smaller market, so local in-person options may be more limited than in larger Massachusetts cities. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while keeping you connected to therapists licensed in Massachusetts. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading each therapist’s profile can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what sessions may be like before you book.
Therapy in Amherst can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated cost before booking.
