Therapists in 02481

In therapy, the client and I enter into a collaboration to find new ways to problem-solve, reduce suffering, discover patterns and build new life paths. As part of this process, I help the client: to learn about patterns of thought and behavior, to learn to be with unpleasant experiences instead of avoiding them or grasping for something else, and to practice awareness, self-compassion and curiosity, habits of mind that help bring about positive change. I have a gentle, direct, and engaging approach that encourages and supports the client.

My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative and solution-focused. I incorporate mindfulness techniques to increase awareness of harmful thoughts and behaviors, and skill building exercises to increase emotion regulation, resilience, and psychological flexibility. I hold an advanced certificate in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) from Boston University and have extensive training in mindfulness-based therapies.

I am not your typical therapist, and strive to always create that emotional connection that allows us to work through any issue as a team. Most of my clients have already tried traditional therapy, and haven't been able to engage in one way or the other. Many of my clients haven't felt heard or understood, and it is a goal of mine to make therapy accessible for all. My belief as a therapist is that everyone can benefit- and should benefit from the relationship they have with their therapist. My clients believe in person centered care- and feedback goes both ways. I provide a trauma informed environment where the client gets to lead.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) working out of Wellesley, MA. I have worked with clients of all ages, from various backgrounds, and have successfully employed multiple therapeutic modalities (individual, family, and couples therapy). I have experience working with clients who suffer from anxiety, depression, family conflict, and marital/relationship issues. I have worked with clients struggling with addiction, infidelity, trauma, and abuse. I have worked closely with children, especially those displaying behavioral issues, and have helped families to foster successful parenting techniques.

Seeking help is a sign of personal strength and courage. I work with clients who are struggling with a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, marital conflict, relationship difficulties and self esteem issues. My goal is to help clients with life challenges that interfere with their happiness and well-being.

My goal is to help you manage life’s challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Social Thinking are some of the strategies that I use to support my clients. I have extensive experience working with school teams. I have supported adults, teens, and children in their struggles with anxiety, eating disorders, the psychological aspects of cancer, depression, social problems, attention deficit disorder, and learning disabilities. I also want to help people who care for their loved ones during times of illness.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I earned my Masters Degree from Boston University School of Social Work in 2000. I have over 21 years of experience working with adults and have practiced in college counseling centers, health centers, and outpatient settings. My approach is flexible and strength-based. I adapt my clinical approach to each client based on their needs to help them make healthy changes in their lives. I offer brief and long-term treatment for a variety of issues including depression, grief and loss, anxiety, trauma, stress management, women's issues, and substance abuse.

As a therapist, I work not as a "shrink" but an "enhancer," helping clients work through past problems, engage the challenges of the present, and move towards a more fulfilling future. I am client-focused rather than technique-focused because each client-therapist relationship is unique, and techniques should be employed selectively to optimize change and growth. That said, clients can expect that I will: 1) Act as a strong ally, adding emotional and intellectual energy to their efforts to change, 2) Provide insight and fresh perspective that takes them beyond their usual patterns of perceiving and responding to life circumstances.

Sometimes life throws us curveballs, and we might feel stressed, overloaded, or struggle to make decisions. You might be struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, unhealthy relationship patterns, major life decisions, professional and academic performance, or parenting issues. These challenges might be keeping you up at night or are interfering with your peace of mind. As a therapist, my primary goal is to provide a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental environment for my clients, to explore their thoughts and feelings.

Are you dealing with anxiety, sadness, shame, grief, trauma or stuff you really want to let go of in your life? Or perhaps you are feeling a sense of not being good enough, struggling with confidence and self-criticism? Pain may show up as feeling numb or angry, withdrawing from school or work, family and friends. Hiding the stress doesn't help you feel better. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental, focused on helping you deal with pain from the past and deal with present challenges with greater ease and confidence. If you'd like to feel better about yourself and your life, I can help you get there.

Welcome to my practice! Are you looking for change? Whether you are seeking help with a major transition or ways to manage the problems of every day life, choosing the right therapist is a very important decision. I provide high quality, compassionate, and confidential care. Finding a therapist for the first time can be a challenging and sometimes intimidating process. I would be pleased to consult with you over the phone at no charge to see if my services are a good fit for what you are experiencing.

Having issues in your relationship? Do you find yourself struggling to communicate with your partner, even about something as small as washing the dishes to as big as finding out they had an affair? Don't you think you deserve to be in a healthier and happier relationship? If you answered 'yes', then you just took the first step towards creating change. By answering 'yes', I can assume your desire to have a meaningful relationship with your partner, on both an emotional & physical level, speaks highly of your values. Don't let the arguments or disagreements silence your need to be loved and cared for in the way you deserve to be...
