Therapists in Boston, MA

I provide a warm, judgment-free healing atmosphere for clients that focuses on support and growth. In addition to my training in evidence-based therapies, I also utilize an intuitive counseling approach. I work with clients that are seeking to resolve issues related to childhood trauma, self esteem, depression, anxiety, and bullying. Untreated stress and trauma can manifest in the body as depression and anxiety, but also chronic health issues like back pain, autoimmune disease, headaches, acid reflux, etc.. I am an experienced counselor licensed in the states of Massachusetts and Virginia.

(Please note: I am currently unable to accept Masshealth and Tufts direct.) I believe that each individual is the maker of their own path, and my goal is to help support and guide you towards a fulfilling and happy life. I have over 10 years of experience working with people of all ages who struggle with substance use issues, personality disorders, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other mental illnesses and personal stressors.

I am accepting new clients! Life's journey can be full of crisis, loss, grief and trauma. These experiences activate fear in the primal brain, alter patterns of behavior, limit ones perception, lead to relationship issues, low self-esteem and addictions. If these problems are left unresolved, they can lead to physical and mental health problems as well as a weakened spirit, affecting ones core vitality for life. My spiritual approach provides clients with a safe, nurturing and compassionate environment where trust is easily built within the therapeutic relationship so that healing can take place.

I specialize in PTSD, Anxiety, Depression and Attachment concerns. The criteria for many of these diagnoses, include impulsiveness, relationship challenges, and certain aspects of ADHD. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, has many effects on our minds and bodies. You may have questions or concerns, finding your pathway to peace and contentment. I believe that comes from an understanding of what has happened to you during certain points in your life and how your mind and body has survived. The great philosopher Socrates said "Know Thyself", and good therapy helps you to do just that.

I work primarily with young adults and millennials moving through radical life transitions such as moving, beginning/ending relationships, career changes, and loss and grief. Life transitions, even positive ones, can leave us feeling alone, stuck, confused, anxious, and even, despairing. My treatment with you will be tailored to your goals, preferences, and desired outcomes for therapy. I treat each of my clients with respect and provide an atmosphere full of safety and free of judgment.

Understanding we are all in different "stages of change", we utilize an eclectic approach to guide you through your own process at your own pace.

We employ an individualized approach to therapy in order to empower people to change their lives. In the wise words of Maya Angelou, "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, humor, and style."

Are you ready to integrate loving kindness and compassion into the relationship you have with yourself and others? This may seem an impossible healing for those who have endured relational betrayal, death, loss, hurt or trauma. However, shifting focus towards meaning, resilience, and possibility can liberate you from your past and present suffering. What does this mean for you and your loved ones? It means here is an invitation to sit with a non-judgmental human being while you recover, connect, and heal in new ways. It means you may shed old roles, affirm new strengths, and learn others with vulnerability and without guard.

At times, we might consider therapy when we want something in life but can't seem to get it; we feel stuck. Often, we tend to feel stuck when our coping strategies are no longer working. In therapy, we can gain insights into our coping strategies, such as how they developed, the important purpose they've served since childhood, and why we continue to use them even when they are no longer working. These insights can help us to eventually develop new coping strategies. I use an empathetic, encouraging, egalitarian, and holistic approach, along with humor, to connect with, understand, and support clients.

Life is everchanging, and we go through different seasons and transitions, often being asked to access our resilience and coping skills to navigate our path in the moment.
