Family Therapy in Framingham, MA

I am currently accepting new clients for both individual and couples therapy and have openings Monday evenings and Tuesday mornings. In my work I focus on creating an environment that is safe enough for clients to explore feelings and experiences, and to delve into the things that worry them. Clients I work with are often struggling with parenthood, marriage, partners, or children, personal relationships, or major changes in life. I love working with clients who are curious and engaged, and for clients seeking art therapy services, therapy is also a priority to provide new means of expression and healing.

Untangling the complexities of relationships, work, family, and day-to-day life can be daunting on your own. From the patterns learned throughout your life to the stresses of today, much of what is no longer effective in your life is within your reach to change. Letting go of old ways can be difficult. Let's collaborate to build on your strengths to promote the best in you while safely and responsibly shifting away from what's no longer working.

Relational issues are my focus. We are related to our birth families, our marriage or divorce families, our mates, children, peers, coworkers, and to our addictions and habits. My work connects the dots and helps one to see the where and why of the problem and to learn how to address it in a loving, healthy and healing way. Whether the conflict is between partners, parent and child, siblings or addictions, the goal is to mend the relationship and create positive self esteem. I surface the real issue through insightful and penetrating questions to illuminate the path to clarity and resolution.

Working with clients from ethnic minority groups is my passion; especially Brazilians, Latinos and Native Americans. Having experienced being an immigrant myself while living in Brazil, I am very aware of the unique difficulties facing newly arrived immigrants. Individuals needing assistance with school difficulties, parenting concerns, family conflict, marital discord, or functionally impairing mental health symptoms are my ideal client.

I am most interested in working with couples who are open to building a more compassionate internal relationship within themselves in service of creating the kind of partnership for which they yearn.

Everyone needs someone to talk to at certain times in their lives.

Building communication skills, learning problem solving, mindful meditation, managing anxiety and depression are areas am especially experienced in. My clients describe me as caring, genuine, warm and interactive.

You may be facing challenges in your life or are having difficulty coping with the stress of everyday life. My approach is to provide a caring, empathetic and supportive environment in which we can develop a partnership to foster change, healing, and growth. I believe your problems do not define you and are not the entirety of who you are. I recognize that our own background and experiences impact us and our ability to adapt to stress. Race, culture, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation and the community we live in can influence how we perceive things.

Stressful conditions may influence depression, anxiety, and other psychological challenges. Life transitions, academic or work stress, family problems, or relational difficulties with a friend or significant other may trigger such distress. My psychodynamic orientation is relational, integrative, and informed by diverse realities such as culture, race, ethnicity, and gender. My approach enables clients to feel safe, understood, and hopeful in their journeys toward change while strengthening confidence, self-esteem, facilitating the development of effective coping and problem solving skills.
