Therapists in Byfield, MA

Relief comes with being understood and with workable options that feel right to you. I do therapy with individuals and couples. Currently, the practice is limited to adult women aged 25 and older, individuals who feel stress, anxiety, or depression.

Let's do it together! The challenges of everyday life can be overwhelming. But you are not alone, together we can work to identify the obstacles and challenges that are preventing you from living a full life. Tougher we can establishing a treatment plan and working towards the goal. (En español) Los desafios diaries pueden resultar abrumadores. Pero no estas solo, juntos podemos identificar los obstaculos que te estan impidiendo vivir una vida plena. Estableciendo un plan de tratamiento y trabajando hacia la meta, lo lograremos.

Emotions are normal, even hard to handle ones. Struggling is normal; it’s all part of the human experience. I’m here to teach you and empower you to manage and cope with strong emotions, stressors, and hardships. Through our time together, you will learn about the mind and how it connects with the body, and how to apply this knowledge to feel better. I specialize in treating trauma, depression, anxiety, dual diagnosis involving addiction and mental illness, positive psychology, and holistic healing.

I firmly believe that change begins with you. Whatever the thing or event was that led you to seek out therapy, I want to first commend you for taking the first step. There are a variety of reasons someone might decide it's time to talk to a professional, including just wanting to have someone to talk to, and no reason is more valid than the other. Whether you are wanting to explore your past, learn effective communication skills, better manage your anxiety and/or depression, or if you're wanting to learn how to stay focused and complete tasks in a timely manner, I can help you with that.

My pledge is to witness and support each individual's journey towards becoming more fully alive. In so doing, I bring to my work a respect and acceptance for deep pain as well as an ability to hold lightness and joy. I consider myself to be a collaborator in helping to bring old, unconscious patterns to light and thus begin loosening the hold of self limiting beliefs. My clients find me to be compassionate and grounded. I draw upon the wisdom of relational therapy, mind-body awareness, expressive and cognitive behavioral theories to discover what works for you.
