Therapists in Plympton, MA

I have openings! My goal as your therapist is to help you reduce your anxiety, stress, or depression. I see my role as a guide; someone to nudge you when you are feeling stuck, listen when you feel overwhelmed, and encourage you to seek new ways of tackling your difficulties. I truly enjoy working with tweens, teens and adults who are beginning their journey toward wellness. I understand that things feel very difficult and at times are an unrelenting struggle. I believe that learning new strategies, developing insight and determination, and increasing your belief in yourself, living a more rewarding and contented life is possible.

My specialties include working with millennials, young adults, and educators who are struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, transitions and life changes. Together we will explore that inner voice that is telling you that you are falling behind or simply not good enough. We'll work together to get you feeling like yourself again.

I have worked with Cape Cod based non-profit organizations for over 11 years, serving clients of all ages and from all walks of life. I have a deep and diverse experience with a variety of mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction as well as the full range of life transition, work and relationship based stressors.

Asking for help is hard. Your feelings are important. You are the expert on yourself and it’s brave to know when you need assistance.

Relationship issues, work/life stress, minor substance-related disturbances, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, anger management, and career counseling are a few issues I help resolve with my clients. Emotional disturbance (anxiety, depression, confusion, etc) manifests when you fail to confidently and honestly live your life with meaningful purpose and positive action. Low esteem, lack of confidence, little motivation, and chronic worry all negatively impact your relationship to self and others creating symptoms that can spiral downward. We will arrest potential spiral and redirect its energy upward toward wellness.

I currently have a waitlist. Having a wide range of clinical experience across the life span, I recognize the importance of finding the balance between supporting and challenging my clients through the intentional building of the therapeutic relationship. I focus on the whole person and lean into the importance of establishing safety in the therapeutic process. I support my clients to share their stories, challenge thinking patterns, build coping strategies, and process their experiences and the world around them through dialogue.

Deciding to seek out therapy can be difficult and making a connection with the right person even more so. Knowing something about the person you are hoping can help you can make the start of the process easier. I began working in the field at 16 for an afterschool program at an outside placement school, things progressed from there. From then to now I completed a BS in Business and an MEd in Counseling & School Adjustment, I obtained an LCMHC in NH and LMHC in MA. I have worked with individuals, couples and families in many settings including schools, residential programs, detention settings, office settings and in the community.

Are you a Millennial with anxiety affecting your relationships? Do you feel frustrated when you react more than respond? Perhaps there is a parent with whom you struggle to define boundaries. Do you ever wonder if you could feel fulfilment in relationships or if you're doomed to live emotionally isolated to protect yourself? Now more than ever, people are overwhelmed about how to build and maintain healthy relationships and identify and remove toxic ones. I believe that things can be better, and so do you (you're here, aren't you?)!

Currently accepting weekday morning, afternoon, and evening clients. My passion is assisting individuals with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues.

Serving kids, teens, and young adults. I use a person-centered strengths based approach in counseling practice. Clients are able to utilize their strengths to identify strategies and coping skills to manage their needs, and maximize new coping skills as their human development unfolds. I believe in the importance of establishing a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, where people feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences as they grow into the best version of themselves.

Life might feel entirely out of your control. Maybe the same thoughts are nagging at you, stuck in an agonizing loop of anxiety about job changes, relationship difficulties, body-image concerns, you name it – it’s all too much. Chronic stress, depression, and anxiety can lead to this feeling of “stuck-ness” that's really hard to handle. Finally, you’ve decided it’s time to prioritize yourself and work through personal challenges that have been on the back-burner for years. You’re ready to breathe again and have that “inner peace” that got lost along the way. It’s time to get un-stuck!

You may have been emotionally, sexually, verbally, physically abused and/or neglected. You may be a survivor of Parental Alienation, another form of abuse; a child or the targeted parent. You want to be healed, not just struggling in life. You want your terrifying panic attacks that no one understands to be gone. You want to stop struggling and live the life you were meant to. You want your relationship with yourself and others to be healthier. Is the abuse/neglect you survived still affecting your life? It doesn't have to anymore. There is hope and healing. PTSD, Complex-PTSD (C-PTSD), Agoraphobia, and panic can be healed forever.

Available virtually anywhere in Massachusetts, I understand the unique challenges, pressure, and stress experienced by those in first responder jobs, including police officers, firefighters, paramedics, military and veterans, hospital personnel, and other emergency services workers. Witnessing traumatic events can lead to anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and emotional support is crucial for your own well-being as well as your family. You have the power to not only manage these challenges with therapy but thrive in spite of them.
