Cancer Therapists in Clinton, MA

It's ok to ask for help. It's true that I can't erase your past or instantly take away your pain (although I wish I could). However, I can help you carry your burdens more lightly, whether that means adjusting to major life transitions, processing grief, or learning new ways of coping with anxiety. Additionally, I have expertise in health-related issues and enjoy working with clients around eating concerns, chronic illness (cancer, diabetes, etc.) and prenatal/postpartum mental health. I can offer you a new perspective and help you overcome emotional challenges. Therapy is your time to feel supported and understood.

I am a bilingual (Spanish-English) Clinical Psychologist that specializes in the impact of medical conditions (diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, chronic pain, endocrine problems, STD's, cancer, liver transplant, kidney transplant, among others) in the psychological, social and emotional wellbeing of the patients and families. I also specialize in depression, anxiety, adjustment process, life stressors, grief and loss, and smoking cessation.

I am a clinical psychologist practicing for more than two decades. My approach is to provide a safe and comfortable space in which clients can share their worries, concerns, and fears that are part of daily living. I use cognitive-behavioral treatment, which emphasizes the importance of how we understand events, ourselves, and others; these affect our feelings and the way we go about our daily lives. The goal is to improve insight AND making changes to improve our quality of life. Many of my clients struggle with adjusting to difficult situations, and want to move forward from difficult situations that affect day-to-day life.

I have 15+ years experience working with clients with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, as well as those having difficulty dealing with a high level of stress in their life. I like to help clients problem-solve and navigate their way through life’s challenges, that often seem overwhelming. Relationship issues, and family dynamic issues, including dealing with family substance abuse are among the issues I can help you work through. I can support you in areas such as chronic illness, grief and loss, and loneliness. I also have experience with single parent issues, and those managing a divorce or other major life transition.

I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker who has had the joy and honor of helping others for the last ten years. My lived experiences as a woman of color, a former foster child, and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community allows me to connect with others on topics of gender, sexuality, race, intersectionality and more as it relates to everyday life and its challenges. My focus is on helping persons experiencing depression, anxiety, and adjustment to life stressors while working on improving communication skills, building boundaries, and strengthening relationships.

I believe that coming to therapy when your life is not proceeding in the way you wish is a courageous and important step in building the life you want. Although it is sometimes difficult or frightening to make that first phone call, it's a strong sign of your belief in yourself and your desire to live fully and joyfully. I respect the decision to begin therapy and understand that it's sometimes a hard step that requires great courage. I firmly believe that however you're feeling now, there is a capacity for healing, change, and joy within you.

I want to hear your story. Everyone deserves to be heard, seen, and understood with compassion, patience and warmth. It takes courage to make that initial call.

Do you feel lost? Do you sometimes stop, look around, and ask yourself, "How did I get here?" You are not alone. We were all born into a far from perfect world left to navigate our course with less than adequate directions. Perhaps you have faced particularly stormy weather in your journey, or perhaps you have just been overwhelmed by the sheer weight of life's complications. Forging ahead, you have experienced your share of successes and disappointments, but you have never felt that you were exactly on the right track.

Had enough of not being enough? Misunderstood? Feeling inauthentic? If you are living life from past hurts, you’ll find yourself depressed, anxious, exhausted, stressed and feeling stuck. The focus of my practice is empowering others to see their self-worth and inspire them into action. You don’t have to know how to heal; if you are willing to heal and show up, we will get you to your destination. Living in present time authentically means sorting though the things that are no longer useful to you. Ready to move from anxiety and depression and become empowered from the inside out? I'm here to help.

As an Acute/Critical Care Nurse Practitioner, I was not cognizant of the impact of mental illness on family and society, until I decided to pursue a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Degree. I believe that societal stigmatization of mental illness, and the shame felt by families who have a loved one with mental illness, makes it difficult for these patients to recover, and live peacefully for the rest of their lives. Psychiatric illness should be treated like a medical illness with no stigma, no blame or shame.

Therapy is a time to appreciate and develop patterns that are healthy and fulfilling, instead of just focusing on what's going wrong. I work towards establishing a trusting relationship where together we can collaboratively create goals that address your needs. We work together to address symptoms in a way that sustains long term change. I integrate tailored treatment to you so that you do not experience a “cookie cutter” approach.
