Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Needham, MA

I believe all individuals are capable of healing and growth. Having a safe, trusting relationship with a therapist can be an important part of that process. In my practice, I aim to create an open space for us to work towards your goals while allowing you to feel heard, cared for, and accepted.

My practice is made up of thoughtful, resilient, hardworking people who come to therapy with presenting problems of anxiety and low self-esteem. It is common for these clients to be "everybody's therapist," giving great advice and support to others that they don't take themselves. Often, these folks find themselves in relationships where they feel nervous or insecure, unable to assert their needs and feelings for fear of alienating people they love. As a result, their attachments are often anxious, unstable and confusing.
