Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in 04103

We all experience challenges during our everyday lives. Sometimes these challenges can seem overwhelming and discouraging. I work with people who want to make changes in their lives to help themselves overcome these difficult experiences. These changes can often be difficult to contemplate, yet alone act on. I strive to create a supportive environment for my clients where they can explore their concerns and the emotions that arise.

I am a warm, open and accepting therapist who specializes in holding space for teens and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, difficulty with emotions, grief and any feelings of suffering, hopelessness or overall dissatisfaction with yourself and your life. Being human can be painful, complex and challenging at times. I’m here to validate these challenges and help you explore what is and isn’t working for you. I view this as a collaborative process and will honor you as the expert in your own life.
