Therapists in Central, Boston, MA

Deeply passionate about social justice and facilitating and guiding positive change and development in the lives of others, I am thrilled to connect with you as you begin your journey inward. Healing is truly the risk of showing up for yourself and your resistance to temptation to go back to unsilenced needs, numbing out, disconnection, and erasure. As a black, gender non-binary Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), I have a personal stake and insight into the work I do. My clinical practice aims to empower and heal individuals, families & communities through therapy, consulting, case management, training, & community outreach.

I currently have several day/evening openings! I am an LGBTQ+ and racial justice-allied therapist who provides therapy to teens and adults. I work with folks who want to process trauma, heal from childhood wounds, and find balance in their life in the face of their stressors. Sometimes their challenges are related to neurodiversity, family conflict, or discrimination - all things that impact how you're able to manage particularly challenging days or triggers for painful memories. It can be difficult to imagine a life without anxiety or depression, but with the right support you can find regain a sense of hope and inner peace.

Over the course of my career as a clinical social worker, I have focused my work on providing LGBTQI-affirming psychotherapy to individuals who have experienced trauma, in its many interpersonal and systemic forms. As a white queer nonbinary femme therapist, I continue to educate myself on the privileges and power dynamics inherent in my own social position in relation to my clients, and I openly work from an anti-oppression framework.

I work with people who may be struggling with their relationships – with themselves, within partnerships, and within families. During our initial sessions, we'll turn over all facets of the issues you've been facing. Then, we'll create an individualized plan to identify solutions, improve your relationships, and supply you with tools and perspectives you can use long after you leave therapy.

Are you hoping to practice clear and effective communication with others about your wants, needs, or boundaries? Are you thinking about breaking a pattern or stopping a behavior that no longer serves you? Are you searching for a supportive, collaborative space to reflect on your past, to stay grounded in the present, or to explore what you want for your future?

In my practice, by face to face sessions or by using online Telehealth confidential therapy, I work with clients to feel comfortable and to form a bond, based on trust, that will foster a relaxed positive therapeutic interaction. It is important to me that, from the very first session, the client can communicate his or her story and feels heard, so that I can understand the presenting issues, communicate hope, and formulate mutually agreeable goals to achieve in our work together.

Life experiences, transitions, and relationships provide both an opportunity to be challenged and to grow. In my practice, I welcome adults, couples, adolescents and families who wish to improve the quality of any dimension of their lives - from professional, family and parenting relationships to emotional, interpersonal, or physical challenges. Drawing upon specialized training focused on gaining insight (psychodynamic), building skills to manage emotions and behaviors (cognitive behavioral) and understanding relationships (family systems/relational), I work closely with individuals to develop understanding and identify goals that address the distinct factors that may be inhibiting life pursuits or interfering with personal, academic, or professional satisfaction and success.

I also support couples, relationship partners, and adult family members to engage more effectively, sustainably, and lovingly with each other. I engage with clients as whole people and explore their concerns in the context of identities and experiences that matter to them. With that in mind, I invite them to build awareness and skills that will help them thrive rather than tread water.

Buongiorno & Good Morning! Sometimes it is difficult to make sense of feelings, learning how to manage them, and being able to find healthy ways to express your inner self. Therapy is a safe space and confidential process that through time, consistency and work together will allow you to identify and develop a healthy voice to express difficult feelings. Connection and Bonding in therapy promote resiliency, stimulating and feeding the mind. Feeling heard, being seeing, feeling that we have a purpose in life is a vital, indispensable healing and nurturing process of psychotherapy.
