Elders (65+) Therapists in Roslindale, Boston, MA

When we experience inner conflict or are unsure of our life's direction,talking with a therapist can help explore and resolve stressful issues as well as help restore balance to our lives. As a licensed therapist in Boston ,I view counseling in a holistic way, valuing all aspects of a person. My therapeutic approach is client centered and collaborative. My view of therapy is that it provides an opportunity for people to gain insight into their lives, and assists them in making positive change.

As a Credentialed Grief Educator and Counselor, Certified Pet Loss and Bereavement therapist and Ordained Pastor, I try to provide guidance to those going through the pain and sorrow of loss. The loss could be lost love, a pet, friend, sibling, job, relationship...Regardless, when any deep bond is severed, the sadness and broken heart are profound. But loss and grief are not mental health issues. And while there are meds for depression, there is no pill for a broken heart. These are spiritual and emotional matters. Things of the heart and soul. The Grief Journey is complex and demanding. Please let me know if I can help

Our thoughts sounds very different when said out loud, my goal is to provide a judgment free safe space where people can process these thoughts and feelings.

My approach is based on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that takes client goals and utilizes techniques to accomplish the desired objectives. It is a collaborative, reality-based method informed by mindfulness and life-coaching strategies. This is a holistic approach and can last for 12 sessions or longer based on client’s choice. I encourage and assign homework between sessions and am always open to new ideas that will assist in your growth. I hope to work myself out of a job by sharing treatments and tools that equip you to cope with the daily living of life.

All people at some point will find themselves stuck, unsure of the path they are on or the choices they are making, or hoping to improve the relationships they are having with themselves and others. Therapy can be a useful space to help people unlock the solutions within themselves and foster positive changes, personal agency, and sense of self-worth. I offer therapy that is rooted in principles of flexibility, responsivity, collaboration, and creativity. We will clarify and work towards goals of your choosing, such as concrete behavioral changes, accessing resources, deepening emotional understanding, or improving relationships.

I am a warm, playful and compassionate therapist.

With an empathetic and engaged approach, my goal is to help you feel better and more fulfilled. I work primarily with adults and adolescents. My approach is eclectic, which means sometimes helping people to make changes in behavior and ways of coping and sometimes helping people to better understand their feelings and resolve past experiences by exploring their personal meanings.

Please reach out to schedule a consultation. I strive to be a very open-minded therapist and enjoy working with motivated individuals who participate in the therapy room. My areas of expertise are assisting clients in managing troubling anxiety, panic, obsessive worry, relational issues, and creating meaningful change in their lives. Generally, I will help you slow down, look inward, notice parts of yourself and how you're feeling toward them, and assist you in resolving inner conflicts from a place of compassion, clarity, and patience.

I believe that the answers to people's problems lie within, and that I serve as a guide to facilitate the release of blocks and the emerging of one's wholeness. My approach is psycho-spiritual, collaborative, strengths-based, holistic, with a social justice lens; that is, I see you as a whole person, and believe in the interconnectedness of body, mind and spirit. I am interested in supporting you in healing wounds, coming home to your true self, detaching from old story lines and false identities. My intention is to create a safe, supportive atmosphere where acceptance and compassion play a role in the growth and healing process.
