Therapists in Southampton, MA

I work with individuals to strengthen their sense of choice and meaning in their lives. I believe we can emerge more whole when we get curious about the parts of us that seem inglorious. I do not believe in oversimplifying the human condition into "good" or "bad" because there is more truth in the spectrum. I want therapy to be accessible, helpful and grounded in the reality that we live our day-to-day lives outside the therapy office. Good therapy extends beyond one hour a week; good therapy informs how we relate to, engage with and move through the real world.

I believe that every person makes sense in context. You might wonder why you often feel anxious, unfulfilled, or discontent. You might be curious about the patterns in your relationships or your reactions to others or events. You may wish to explore the ways you feel simultaneously connected and disconnected from yourself or the world. I'd love to work with you to help cultivate a curious stance to better understand yourself in the fuller context of your life. We will work together to expand your feelings of aliveness and acceptance while also helping you to more flexibly express needs, manage emotions, and deepen relationships.

The reasons people seek therapy are as diverse as the people themselves. I offer therapy to adults with a focus on helping them work on specific change as well as self-acceptance. Depending on people’s needs, I offer this help in the form of support, information, guidance, self-knowledge or the space to learn and practice new skills.

Somatic Parts and Attachment therapy and Buddhist Contemplative Psychology: Are you struggling with feeling trust in yourself, trust in others and the world?

I offer 15 years of experience in embodied contemplative counseling, as well as creative activism for personal growth and empowerment.

Are you feeling like you need to give yourself some time, space, thought and consideration with a twist that isn't just about finding the perfect "self-care" regimen or knowing the absolute right choice to make? This requires more than just talking about the stressors that happen on the daily or trying hard to understand the injustices that happen in life. I would like to offer you that time and space to guide the rediscovery of your ability to access values, accountability, and radical acceptance to name few in an effort to help you land in a place of living in peace amongst the chaos. Let's delve into some values work!

We all have wounds to heal. Trauma is universal and each person has their own unique journey of healing and reintegration. Having learned this universal truth, I have chosen empathy, openness, and heart-centered care as key elements of my approach as a therapist and life coach.

I know that seeking out a new therapist or starting therapy can be an overwhelming and scary process, and my goal is to offer a compassionate and thoughtful space for you to engage in this important work. I have experience working with people who are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, body image and food-related issues, grief, sexual trauma, issues around identity development, big life transitions, and the general overwhelm that comes with existing as a human at this moment in time! I also have many years of experience working specifically with college students.

Clients often come in seeking more of, and for, themselves. It may be loss, transition, or relationship that brings them in, as well as, stress, overwhelm and/or a clear desire to grow. Regardless of the catalyst, all are wanting something more from life. Together, we can support finding more energy, ease and fulfillment in your experience. What makes you feel alive? What gets in the way? These are questions to ask when feeling stuck. There can be complex feelings of fear, disconnect and confusion, blocking the way to motivation, clarity and desire. With openness, compassion and even humor, we can find the way, to more wholeness.

I am a clinical therapist who uses narrative psychotherapy as a model to treat and process trauma, grief, and relational issues. I work with adults and older adolescents, as well as couples, and use a person-centered eclectic framework with my clients.

In every aspect of my practice, I use an individualized approach with the client to build a treatment perspective that is specific to their own interests, values, and recovery.

As a somatic therapist, I’m trained to help you regulate your nervous system, work through trauma, and learn to process your feelings. Somatic experiencing is for people who have either been in therapy before and feel like they’re "talked out,” or who are new to therapy and want to try a more mind-body approach. This work is powerful and I’m so honored I get to share it with you and help you get to a more regulated place in your life.

I offer psychotherapy to adults of all ages, children and teens. My style is collaborative and interactive and is part of creating a safe, empathic relationship that is the foundation for open communication and exploration of what is most relevant to each client. My approach is relational, trauma informed, and culturally and socially attuned, but draws on a variety of therapeutic models. I approach the therapeutic process with openness and flexibility to meet the current and changing needs of each individual. I believe that therapy can be transformative and should always play an active role in appreciable growth and change.
