"My work with Mimi has been transformative!  I was initially worried about becoming "dependent on therapy," I've come to see it as a wonderful gift.  She is empathetic and tuned to nuances.  While always mindful of my pace and comfort, she will gently-but-firmly nudge when needed to get to a breakthrough.  She doesn't let me off easily.  Despite being outwardly successful, when I started working with her, I was often anxious, unsure of myself, and not living a fully present life.  Mimi helped me to navigate some of the most difficult years of my adult life (with complicated family and relationship dynamics), and in getting through this, I have emerged a stronger, emotionally healthier and confident person.  

After several years of working with her, she's helped me gain the tools for living a life connected with other people, trusting my own decisions, seeking help when needed, and I am now better able to feel a full range of emotions without fear and feeling like I have to "do something about it."  

I'm so fortunate to have been referred to Mimi, travelled with her as my guide for a while, and am grateful for her care, insight, and she is really an example of how therapy done right is life-changing!"

 “I worked with Mimi at Cambridge Hospital. Mimi was always a hard worker and a great advocate for her clients. If there is one word that describes Mimi it would be integrity. She is her word. Mimi's other qualities are empathy, compassion and a great sense of humor. I highly recommend her as a person and as a therapist.”

My primary care physician recommended I see Mimi after a particularly tough time for me.  I saw her for about a year and a half and felt that she helped me get to a place where I could help myself--instead of beating up on myself.  She never got in the way of "me"; she never overshadowed me or tried to direct me in an obvious way. In time, I got to a point where I felt better and knew that I could proceed on my own.  I will be forever grateful to her.

I went to Mimi for help when I was struggling with various personal issues. From day one, I was incredibly comfortable with Mimi. She was sympathetic and nurturing at all the right times, but also wasn't afraid to call me on my stuff and give me tough love when I needed that. She asked me all the right questions, and I was consistently surprised to discover what feelings I ended up talking about. Mimi's help was beyond valuable because she didn't give me the answers I needed: she helped me find the answers within myself.

I have worked with Mimi on and off for years focusing on issues with relationships, my children, sexual abuse, trauma, anxiety and fear. 

It didn't matter the issue, Mimi listened, read my poetry, asked questions and helped me gain a real understanding about myself and my issues.

Mimi gets to know you.  If I walked in and sat down with my sun glasses on, Mimi knew I was not in a good place, and by  the end of the session she asked to look into my eyes to see that I was really okay. 

Mimi is like that angel that pops up on my shoulder when I'm in crisis or just not sure.  Mimi is someone I know I can return to  and feel confident she can help me heal, again.
