Therapists in 02116

As a former collegiate athlete, I faced various challenges during my career. I understand the challenges that accompany injury recovery as well as the pressure and demand of being a competitive athlete. My experiences sparked my passion to help other athletes and high-performing individuals improve performance in their sport and in all other areas of their lives. In our work together, I will create a supportive space for you to share your own experiences and struggles. I will utilize a blend of strength-based, CBT and DBT techniques to help you work towards your goals and make changes at your own pace.

Are you in emotional and spiritual stress? I work with adults and older adolescents with the challenges of mood disorders(depression), anxiety, stress, relationships, self esteem, major life transitions(marriage, divorce, loss) and college adjustment. The focus of my work is helping clients make positive changes in order to have greater balance in life. My optimistic approach is that growth is a transformative opportunity and can be achieved through the engagement with a competent and caring counselor. I would like to work with you to change negative thoughts, decrease feelings of anxiety and alter unhelpful patterns of behavior.

I provide solution-focused therapeutic services to older adolescents, adults, and assessments for both ADHD and bariatric surgery. I specialize in life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationships, mood disorders, and health related issues. My approach is patient-focused and interactive with primary emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I like to work with strengths of the individual and their support network in order to provide effective therapeutic interventions and facilitate change. I often utilize mindfulness principles and stress management in order to meet goals related to improved mental and physical health.

CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS. I help couples and individuals stuck in unsatisfying, repetitive patterns find clarity and regain momentum. I have a warm, collaborative and direct style. My work is informed by years of postgraduate training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, a form of treatment that aims to fully resolve underlying causes of our distress. I draw on the latest research in neuroscience, attachment theory and elements of skills-based treatments, all of which allow me to formulate an approach that will be most effective for your particular circumstances.

The need to normalize therapeutic support, including all forms of mental illness, is ever-present today. Society does not always advocate for the individual nor does it provide freedom for the individual to advocate for themselves. Therapy can take many different forms for each individual, but it should always feel like a space to cultivate that relationship with self, discover a new kind of balance, and gain support through your experience.

Therapy is about finding the right match between a client and a therapist. I try an establish a collaborative and interactive relationship with my clients. We work on trying to resolve areas of immediate distress as well as trying to understand how the past may be effecting your current situation. The problems that clients bring into treatment include relationship issues, difficulties communicating with family members, past histories of trauma as well as past and current histories of eating disorders and obesity. I see a wide range of clients- including children and families, college students and adults.

People come to therapy to gain control over their lives and feel better. Whether you are struggling with issues big or small, we will work together to create a safe space where your old patterns and painful feelings can be explored and put to rest. I practice therapy that emphasizes the importance of a unique therapist/patient relationship built upon a secure and empathic connection. I believe this is our best chance to understand our life experiences and ourselves more deeply and bring about enduring change.

At some point, we all experience difficulties and unpleasant emotions in life. I help clients to learn how to cope with family changes, life transitions, loss, school and work stressors and help develop meaningful relationships through exploring relationship patterns. To meet the individual needs of each client, I empower them to gain self-awareness of their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Together we identify their personal strengths, practice mindfulness, and develop coping strategies that can be utilized daily.

< ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS > I believe in the transformative power of therapy that can be achieved through building a trusting, therapeutic connection between a client and therapist. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment that fosters healing, self-discovery and growth. I commend those who are willing to take that critical first step to enter therapy to create meaningful change in their lives. Through a collaborative process, we will examine and uncover self-defeating behaviors and replace them with healthy ways of being.

With the ever-expanding responsibilities of living and working, it can be easy to fall into a pattern of going through the motions and merely surviving, rather than thriving. We will collaborate to identify and express your individual needs, and work together to leverage your unique strengths and perspectives into development and fulfillment.

Self-discovery is a process that unfolds throughout our entire lives. The challenges we face in our daily lives can also deeply impact the way we move through the world. These challenges are informed by societal expectations/structures, life experiences, thought patterns, and or relationship dynamics. Each client is their own unique individual, thoroughly deserving of support through an empathic, authentic therapeutic relationship.

Throughout life, we all face challenges and stressors that can be too difficult to resolve alone. Oftentimes, the viewpoint of a nonjudgmental third person can provide exceptionally useful new perspectives and insights. Working together, I help my clients discover their values, learn new ways of managing distress, and live their optimal life.

I take a person-centered, holistic approach to working with clients. I believe that the tools and strengths that we need in order to improve our lives are already within us. Through collaborative psychotherapy, together we will tap into your potential to lead a happy and satisfying life, whether that means navigating through a life transition, managing a relationship, or coping with symptoms of depression, anxiety, or post traumatic stress.

Life is forever changing; the only constant is change. Managing change can be overwhelming, and it can be challenging to be the best you possible within that change. Sometimes, you need support around those challenges you are going through. In our work together, we will explore these changes and everything that comes with them to make you more confident in your ever-evolving world. In safe, warm, and work a judgment free pace. I earned my master in mental health counseling and art therapy in 2015 from Lesley University. Since graduation, I have worked in multiple different types of settings with very diverse populations. I believe

Together, we will work to identify your inner strengths and resources that will aid you in self-discovery and growth. I utilize mindfulness and motivational interviewing approaches to further a client's journey towards positive change. My therapeutic approach is rooted in a relational framework and the belief that all healing takes place in the context of relationships. I focus on creating a trusting client-therapist relationship by providing a safe, supportive and encouraging space to help facilitate self-discovery and enduring change.

"I am committed to help you find that feeling of empowerment within you that you may not have even known you had, and then using that empowerment to resolve real life situations."

Life experiences, transitions, and relationships provide both an opportunity to be challenged and to grow. In my practice, I welcome adults, couples, adolescents and families who wish to improve the quality of any dimension of their lives - from professional, family and parenting relationships to emotional, interpersonal, or physical challenges. Drawing upon specialized training focused on gaining insight (psychodynamic), building skills to manage emotions and behaviors (cognitive behavioral) and understanding relationships (family systems/relational), I work closely with individuals to develop understanding and identify goals that address the distinct factors that may be inhibiting life pursuits or interfering with personal, academic, or professional satisfaction and success.

Today’s world is defined by opportunities and challenges that didn’t exist for our parents. The changing ways in which we approach identity, relationships, work, leisure, and education – the core of emotional and psychological fulfillment – can be as bewildering as they are exciting. Becoming the truest and best version of ourselves can be an elusive task in this ever-shifting and often judgemental, invalidating landscape. It’s no wonder all of us need help in one way or another.

Have you tried everything, but still worry constantly? You don't have to live like this. There is hope. Sometimes anxiety or depression manifests in body aches, sleepless nights, numbness, feeling on edge or sensitivity to loud sounds, irritability, nightmares, feeling lonely or sad. I can support you to break free from your anxiety and find calm and joy in your days again. We could start by tapping into your own resources that might be hard to access.
