I have over 25 years’ experience and training in psychiatric rehabilitation sciences and approach therapy from a recovery model. I believe that with the right skills and supports people can do anything. I use a strengths-based approach; rather than focusing on diagnosis I focus on what the individual brings to therapy, what obstacles are present and the individual’s strengths. I work hard to facilitate a trusting relationship and create a non-judgmental space for my clients to grow and thrive. I utilize CBT, Relapse Prevention and Motivational Enhancement Therapy. I believe people are the expert in their recovery, and it is my job to help bring that expertise to the forefront of treatment.

I’ve been working with women, children and families for over 15 years in individual counseling, group settings, and program development. My expertise lies in helping people understand their own emotional experience, to use words not violence, to cope, to reduce impulsive and compulsive behavior, to advocate for themselves.
I believe to live fully, we must feel. Intensely. Viscerally. Freely. To feel pride and pain, joy and frustration. To taste the freedoms of life, as well as its restraints. To reconcile thoughts, actions and emotions that are often at odds. To square all of this with culture, beliefs, and history. To live fully is when a sense of equity, equality and balance is awakened. To live fully is to gain perspective and know that you can weather all of it, and not be overcome by these complexities, but learn to integrate them, for a full life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Lexington
Finding family therapists in Lexington starts with identifying what your family is navigating and what kind of support fits those needs. Family therapy can address parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, divorce-related changes, and communication breakdowns across generations. Marriage family therapists are trained to look at patterns across the relational system, not only one person’s concerns. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose bio mentions family and marriage counseling, counseling for family problems, parent-child relationships, or experience with the specific concerns you want to work through.
In a smaller city like Lexington, the number of local in-person family therapists may be more limited than in larger Massachusetts markets. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you choose a therapist licensed in your state. Family therapy may involve the full family, parents or caregivers, siblings, couples, or individual family members, depending on the goals of care. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for scheduling options, session structure, therapeutic approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to talk through fit.
Family therapy in Lexington 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 family therapists, many of whom accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer virtual or in-person appointments. You can compare profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
