Therapists in 02865

First, thank you for taking the time to read my personal statement. I want to start by telling you a bit about my background and experience. I work at Anchor Counseling Center, a family-owned practice that provides outpatient counseling services to a diverse population. I have 11 years of counseling experience and over 15 years in mental health care. My approach centers around supportive therapy in which clients can reach a comfort level and increase trust.

While life contains many moments of happiness and laughter, it also unfortunately delivers many stressful and overwhelming experiences. When these situations arise, we often feel isolated, distracted, and flooded with anxiety and depression. We may talk to our friends and family for help and ideas; however, sometimes having a caring and supportive therapist can be tremendously beneficial. Sometimes, we need to vent in privacy. Sometimes, we need to process emotional events that have happened and very personal memories from our past.

I work with teenagers, emerging adults, and adults and particularly enjoy working with high school, college, and graduate students. I care deeply about offering queer and gender affirming therapy and welcome queer and gender expansive folks of all ages. I draw on relational, intersectional feminist, narrative, internal family systems, attachment, and somatic approaches to therapy. I strive to make each client feel understood, valued, and empowered because I believe healing and growth emerges from a strong therapeutic alliance.

I most enjoy working with clients who experience anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and stressful life transitions. My approach includes EMDR, Person-Centered Therapy, Coaching, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I am also solution-focused and work in a way that is very open and honest with my clients. I believe that having a strong therapeutic relationship sets the foundation for great change in one's life and experience in therapy. My goal is to walk this journey with you and help guide you to healing, strength, and happiness in your life.

I am a licensed mental health counselor with a diverse background working with children, adolescents, and families. The foundation of therapy is building a strong therapeutic relationship, which from my experience is essential when working with youth. I have an eclectic approach utilizing the treatment which best fits each person and family.

I have had the pleasure of working for over 10 years with amazing people who reached out for support during transitional, challenging, or difficult times. I treat people experiencing a host of mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, image, self-esteem and confidence, and mood disorders. My goal as a psychologist is to help patients navigate the rocky areas of life with more insight, self-compassion, and the tools they need to thrive.

**Currently full- waitlist available** We can all relate to feeling like something is off with our life at some-point. Sometimes we feel like getting through the day is nearly impossible. It can feel isolating to experience depression, anxiety, grief, questioning identity or uncertainty with your sense of self. Sometimes we feel our emotions and/or experiences are too big for others. We often keep our pain to ourselves fearing others wont know what to say or do with it. Sometimes we disconnect from ourselves just to survive. However, this doesn't have to be the case.

In our therapy, you will find a safe, empathetic, and transformative space, to start your journey toward greater self-discovery and fulfillment. My warm, outgoing manner is interactive and authentic. I provide compassionate, honest, and engaged therapy. My empowering outlook includes new insights and useful strategies, for effectiveness and self-worth. I provide an integrated view, and coping and communication skills for all. I will be glad to meet you, with your unique challenges, and your unique gifts. I believe in strengths, hope, and building a more meaningful life.

I believe that I am not much different from many of the clinicians working for GENNEW, providing outpatient therapy services. I like to work with clients from all different backgrounds. I believe that I work well with both anxiety and depression, but especially dealing with those who want to understand themselves better. The clients that will have the greatest benefit in working with me have an internal desire for change and are ready to do the work. This doesn't mean that I don't have patience, but I have found that those who come geared for change seem to attain it in less time.

Current waiting list. "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." - Carl Rogers. Therapy is a deeply personal journey involving an array of emotions waiting to be discovered and explored. You deserve to be heard and supported through life's unpredictable moments and events, and I welcome you to share your experiences, obstacles, and thoughts in a comfortable, safe and encouraging space where you can unearth and be your authentic self.

I am a licensed mental health counselor providing therapeutic services at Anchor Counseling Center. I graduated from Lesley University in Cambridge MA with a Masters in Counseling and Psychology. As a counselor I take a holistic approach to assist in healing the whole person...mind, body, and spirit. This integrative approach considers life experiences and how the experiences contribute to distress resulting in anxiety, depression, limiting beliefs, negative self talk, self judgement, and lack of self compassion. I am compassionate, nonjudgemental, and exude positive energy. I consider rapport developing an integral part of therapy to establish a therapeutic relationship based on trust and comfort.

Life can have moments of uncertainty or difficulty where additional support is needed to process through them.
