Trauma and PTSD Therapists in 01505

Feeling overwhelmed or burnt out? Struggling with boundaries or people-pleasing? Need balance amidst life changes? Whether it's a recent loss, family addition, career shift, or relationship challenges, I offer a warm, welcoming space where you can explore and grow. I tailor the process to your needs, making it interactive and transparent. Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all; it's about guiding you to your own insights and decisions. Whether it's new stressors, mental health conditions, trauma, or focus issues, everyone can benefit at different life stages.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by your emotions or circumstances? Have you been feeling frustrated or dissatisfied with how things are currently going in your life? Are you hopeful that therapy can offer relief and support in navigating your difficulties? Or a little uncertain? Maybe you're feeling ready to engage in the therapeutic process, open to exploring new perspectives and strategies, and committed to improving your mental well-being. It's natural to have mixed emotions when thinking about change, and I'm here to hold space for you to begin your journey toward healing and growth.

Are you finding that you have too much on your plate, resulting in you feeling overwhelmed and anxious about upcoming tasks that need to be completed? Are you struggling in your relationship with your spouse? You deserve to wake up feeling like you can achieve success, in all areas of your life? Let me help you get there!

If you are feeling bad about yourself, your friends have noticed you are not always kind to yourself, or your self-consciousness is interfering with your life in a negative way then I can help. Negative self-talk, imposter syndrome, low self-esteem, and lack of self-confidence can interfere with how we show up in the world and ultimately hold us back from where we want to be. I enjoy working with teens and adults who are struggling to navigate these challenges, whether it's due to identity, body image, anxiety, grief or something else.

Are you struggling with overwhelming emotions after childbirth? Did you have a challenging birth experience? Are you coping with pregnancy or infant loss? Or have you had difficulty getting or staying pregnant? As a dedicated and compassionate mental health provider, I am here to support you through the unique challenges and emotions that may come up during the perinatal period. My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing space where you can explore your feelings, navigate transitions, and find healing and hope during this transformative time.

When you are struggling, you can feel alone and desperate for answers or just someone to understand what you are going through. As a therapist, I am uniquely attuned to my client's needs through active, empathic listening and non-judgmental validation. I pride myself on my ability to put my client's at ease and build strong alliances through my attentive, intuitive and engaging nature. Indeed this helps me connect with client's on a level necessary for open communications, safe vulnerability and trust. This is at the core of what is required to move past mental health challenges and heal in a natural and genuine way.

I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ and marginalized folks through a strength-based, trauma-informed lens. I also have experience working with clients coping with anxiety and depression along with other identity shifts that come with life transitions.

When you're in a season of your life that feels darker, lonelier or more painful, when you feel tired and overwhelmed, when you lack direction or energy, or when your relationships are suffering, it's easy to forget that you possess everything you need to grow and change. I believe that we each have the answers we need within us and the capacity to improve our circumstances, but that sometimes we get off course. I also believe that what we focus on gets bigger, so when we focus on the good and beautiful in life, the weeds get crowded out. This isn't just my personal belief - it's actually rooted in science!

If you want something you have never had in this life, you have to be willing to do something you have never done. You deserve to live a life full of peace, love, and happiness. You are important. Your feelings matter, your voice matters, your story matters, and your life matters. You have the power to seize your happiness, you just have to look within to find it. Many times it is our negative perspective that hinders us from living the life that we deserve. If we could change that perspective, turn it into a positive one, we can regain control of our lives.

Sometimes it can be hard to see life's hurdles as an opportunity to understand ourselves better, yet life is full of these painful, frustrating and uncomfortable experiences. Sometimes they are traumatic. Sometimes next steps are unclear or you've lost your voice and maybe you feel frozen or overwhelmed or uncertain. You want to speak up for yourself. You want to start moving through life again.

Are you getting ready to make a big change or did you already start? Are you finding yourself full of anxiety or self-doubt? Are you a new college student or embarking on your first big job? Have you recently moved and you're finding it hard to find where you fit? Are you feeling confused or curious about how you are showing up in the world? No doubt, life transitions are hard and can leave us feeling uncertain, scared and even down on ourselves.

Are you struggling to manage anxiety that is getting in the way of your career, personal relationships, or your self esteem? Do you identify as queer and are looking for a safe, affirming space to express yourself and work through emotional needs? Do you want to learn how to challenge your negative self talk, increase self-compassion, and gain more insight about yourself?

I can help you achieve your potential despite your challenges! After an initial consultation and appropriate occupational preference assessments, we look together for those professional options where your values, interests and abilities You have the capacity to be and do more than you’ve ever imagined in your life and in your career. With my support and experienced direction, you can cultivate your core talents and your unique calling. Individual coaching is ideal if you are in career transition, seeking career counseling, or ready for life coaching to reexamine your personal direction or spiritual care at any stage and any age.

If you feel lost, frustrated, directionless, or want to make a change, working with a skilled therapist can be one of your best options. Therapy can help you challenge thought patterns that cause emotional and behavioral problems, and build coping skills to deal with life's inevitable challenges. It can be one of the most powerful tools we use to reduce our suffering, increase the joy in our lives, and be our best selves. My approach is centered on your goals and what you want to accomplish.
