Introduction

I work with two kinds of people: couples who want to go from good to extraordinary, and women navigating the big shifts of midlife — empty nests, career changes, menopause, and the question of who am I now? For couples, I use PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy), a neuroscience-based method that goes underneath the surface of what you're fighting about to why your nervous systems respond the way they do. Sessions run two to three hours, which means we go deep enough in a single meeting to actually shift something. My clients aren't usually in crisis — they're self-aware people who remember what it felt like to really love being together, and they want that back. For women in transition, I offer a space to get honest about what this chapter actually feels like — the grief, the freedom, the confusion, and the possibility — and to figure out who you want to be on the other side of it. I'm direct, I bring some humor to hard conversations, and I've been doing this work for more than 30 years. I see clients in person near Newburyport, MA and virtually in Washington State and New York. If any of this sounds like what you're looking for, reach out. The first conversation is just a conversation.
