Culturally Sensitive Therapists in 02215

Hi there! I'm glad you're here! I want to talk about you for a sec, or people like you. Millennials who are trying to navigate a really difficult world. You’ve probably come to a place of exploring your inner self and maybe feeling like, things need to shift or change. You’re invested and interested in doing the work in therapy and are hoping the process is led with a sense of warmth and openness. You enjoy a no-nonsense but compassionate approach to things and are open to exploring and discussing hard topics, with some humor (and expletives) sprinkled in.

You feel anxious and it’s hard to shut your brain off. People tell you to relax, but it’s not that easy. Your life is going well, but there’s always a new worry on the horizon. You’ve worked hard to get where you are, but it’s hard to sit back and enjoy it. Your standards for yourself feel too high. You tend to doubt yourself and your abilities and look to other people to reassure you. You invest a lot of time and energy into how other people feel, but end up in one-sided relationships. It’s hard to take up space, feel confident, and speak your truth. I can help anxious overachievers rest, relax, and find balance in their lives.

Do the fights with your partner follow the same pattern? Does one of you want to talk it out and the other wants some space? Has a painful experience or betrayal such as infidelity, loss, or reproductive trauma left you both feeling alone and shaken? You long for a playful and loving connection and I can help you get there. I help highly motivated clients like you learn to understand themselves and each other again. I'm successful at what I do, and right now you need an expert to guide you.

We are all designed uniquely and live uniquely. Every person that we encounter is shaped by the interwoven threads of mind, body, and spirit as well as relationships, work, education, culture, community, and history. As such, Harbor Christian Counseling (HCC) seeks to care for the whole person through services that take into account this full range of formative influences. Caring for the whole person also means that we partner with our clients to address unwanted or problematic behaviors while gradually moving deeper to explore root issues that might be hampering growth.

Sometimes when life gets hard, it is difficult to ask for help. I aim to provide a safe and welcoming environment that encourages feeling seen and being heard to make that first step a little easier. I am passionate about helping adolescents, college students and young adults understand themselves better and build on their specific strengths. Together, we will work on adapting and personalizing tools to assist in learning how to regulate emotions, explore why certain patterns of thinking and behaving exist, and heal past wounds.

I currently direct and treat patients at the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders (CARD) at Boston University. We provide evidence-based clinical services - primarily CBT, to individuals of all backgrounds. CBT is a skills based therapy meant to enhance coping strategies for those suffering from emotional difficulties. It focuses on understanding the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to foster positive changes. At CARD, we specialize in helping adults and children address a wide range of anxiety disorders and related challenges such as difficulties with mood, sleep, concentration, and pain.

Therapy is a unique opportunity to work together to help you navigate life's challenges in a safe and supportive environment. Whether you are looking to gain insight into your thinking and behavioral patterns, develop skills to manage disruptive or distressing symptoms, or improve your relationships with yourself and others, I am here to help you work through your unique challenges to live a healthy, fulfilling life. I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship/dating challenges, life transitions, substance misuse, body image concerns, and disordered eating.

Your journey, your pace, your healing. As a holistic behavioral therapist, my goal is to address the impact of stress in your life and to promote a culture of safety, empowerment and healing. While we work through challenges, we will uncover your short and long term goals. While at the same time, we will strive for you to build your self-confidence and self-worth. By utilizing a combination of therapeutic approaches, we will unlearn long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I'm a open-hearted therapist with over eight years of experience helping individuals alchemize their self-limiting narratives and behaviors. I support people experiencing overwhelming emotions and/or grief, relationship challenges, work/school stress, difficult life transitions, mind-body disconnection, or just feeling stuck and wanting somewhere to land/process what's going on. My education is in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Holistic Studies and Expressive Arts Therapies. I'm an eclectic therapist that primarily pulls from experiential/somatic, relational, and emotionally-focused psychotherapies.

Distress, discomfort, and change are often behind life's most challenging moments. However, with support, these moments can serve as catalysts for significant growth. I work with young adults, adults, and adolescents who are dealing with a variety of stressors, including symptoms of anxiety and depression, life transitions, family conflict, relationship issues, and identity exploration. I partner with clients to become curious about the patterns that may be appearing in their lives, discover and implement new coping strategies, and move forward with greater intention.

There are many ways people get stuck in their daily lives. It may be transitioning from one phase of life to another, dealing with a trauma, working through issues related to Military or Police or Public Service, addressing identity, or one of the countless other reasons you are not where you want to be. Be it online, face-to-face or a blend of the two; let me help you get unstuck and on the road to where you are meant to be.

I am a marriage and family therapist that believes therapy is something that happens with you, not to you. My style is one that is collaborative, transparent, patient, compassionate, insight oriented, emotionally focused and strength-based. I have experience working with all ages but have focused the majority of my practice on working with adult professionals, college students, couples, and parents.

***Not Currently Accepting New Clients** Are you looking for ways to manage and overcome your stress, symptoms of depression or anxiety, or find support in a confidential space? Starting therapy takes courage and strength. It can be a scary space because you do not know your therapist yet. I work with clients to manage their mental health symptoms and not be defined by those symptoms. If you would like to build coping skills, gain insight into your strengths and find balance, I would like to work with you on this journey.
