Therapists in Wellesley, MA

What stands between you and your Happiness? I welcome you as we develop trust and explore what is getting in the way of you experiencing a more satisfying life. I have been privileged to work with children, teens, and adults with a wide variety of family histories. Often our childhood experiences play a big part in how we develop as adults. Post COVID 19, some have a new set of fears and real issues regarding work, health, and relationships. I have specialized and trained with ADD, Depression, Trauma, and, Anxiety, and there are many tools (Mindfulness, CBT, Compassionate Inquiry) that we can explore to see which is most supportive.

In a time where many people are more socially integrated than ever, they have ironically been left feeling more disconnected and dissatisfied. There are those who are in relationships, but still feel alone. Whether social isolation, crippling anxiety, or a constant chase for satisfaction, I find clients are looking for a deeper understanding of themselves that can provide insight into a healthier and happier way to live.

With 35 years as a teacher and clinician, I maintain a multi-specialty practice, applying the evidence-based principles of MI/CBT to problems ranging from sleep health, anxiety, cannabis misuse to sports performance. In addition to my expertise in health and sports psychology, I specialize in the assessment and treatment of individuals on the autistic spectrum disorder. I work with individuals of all ages, and adopt a shared decision-making approach to treatment, employing an array of evidence based best practices.

I am providing individual & family counseling and group therapy both online & in person. If you are experiencing OCD, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma/PTSD, Relationship and Self Esteem difficulties, I am here to support you! I gained extensive clinical and teaching experiences while helping multicultural families and international college/grad students in the area. While motivating you to gain new tools and skill-sets you need to thrive, I create a collaborative, compassionate and non-judgmental environment where you are empowered and also challenged to increase self awareness to create positive changes in your lives.

Since COVID-19 started, I have decided to fill the gap of professionals who are no longer working face-to-face. Teletherapy is not the same as seeing someone in person. The reason for this, is the bond is made up of both physical and emotional connection. I achieve this through the process of art therapy, where people can bond by working together creatively. While I am not against medication, I use it as a last resort. I believe in many alternative holistic treatments that can be a substitute for medication. I see people as an integral part of a system, rather than seeing people as separate, as in the medical model.

My Ideal client: 36 yo male, divorced, with two children. The patient was incarcerated 16 years, due to drug addiction/trafficking. He spent his early childhood living with his mother and father, who sexually abused him. They were also addicted to drugs due to their childhood experiences of being abused. The patient's parents also prostituted him in exchange for drugs for others. The patient turned to drugs to escape the pain, embarrassment, and overall trauma from his childhood. He now wants sobriety and to overcome his trauma, which includes flashbacks and negative self-image, self-hatred, and hatred of his parents.
