Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Wareham, MA

Now accepting new clients! Spring is a wonderful time to start making some changes. Often we are successful in one area of our life but feel that another area is not going as well as we would like. Finding balance can leave us feeling overwhelmed. While we are all the experts on our own lives, sometimes we need the perspective of another person in order to see ourselves more clearly. Helping to better understand yourself and the strengths you already possess can lead to positive change which ideally will result in living a more authentic, balanced, and enriching life.

I help my clients feel better about themselves and deal more effectively with the people in their lives. Do you sometimes wonder how to get your partner or children to understand you? Are you feeling frustrated and don't know who to talk with? Do you want to increase your effectiveness with others? It is so very important to be known and understood by the people that you care about the most. Your relationships have the potential to become a place where you can bring more joy and happiness into your life.

I am accepting new clients at this time. I am in the office Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays only. Deciding to enter therapy is not always an easy one. My goal is to assist you in understanding what made you make the call as well as help you to gain hope that it can get better. I enjoy working with FEMALES ages 17 to 99. Creating a warm and nurturing office environment is one of my strengths. I take great pride in developing a supportive therapeutic relationship with each of my clients.

Life is tough at best, traumatic at worst. People let us down or we let ourselves down. We may repeat patterns that once seemed to work for us, but are now impeding our growth. Often we know what we "should" do to feel better, but can't seem to actualize our intentions. Or we become so overwhelmed with messages that we have to fix ourselves that over time our resolve weakens and we feel stuck, frustrated, and helpless. It can feel uncomfortable to ask for help when we're struggling, but we are not wired to walk this life alone; we all need a safe space where we can share our hurts, disappointments, and losses.

Mental health issues can be overwhelming for anyone. Everyone can use a space to work through their personal struggles. I have ten years of clinical experience working with clients with depression, anxiety, personality disorders, mental illness, substance use issues and legal issues. Together we can focus on the areas of your life that you want to improve. I utilize humor and non-judgement to help my clients feel comfortable enough to work through the most personal areas of life. A trusting environment is key in allowing ourselves to be authentic and move our life in the direction of true happiness.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I work collaboratively with individuals and families to address barriers that may be negatively impacting their ability to function across a variety of settings. It is my goal to support clients in exploring, identifying, and implementing helpful strategies to improve their well being and overall quality of life. In session, I utilize a solution-focused and strengths-based lens and work mostly with Cognitive Behavioral and person-centered therapeutic modalities to address struggles related to anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns.
