Humanistic Therapists in 02129

I have close to 15 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, across a variety of cultures; receiving my training and practicing in both Australia and the US. I work with adults, couples and families to achieve their goals and specialize in a range of clinical presentations including trauma, relationship and family of origin issues, men’s mental health and therapy for helping professionals, among others.

I am an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and I study psychological growth, posttraumatic stress, and depression. My clinical work is inspired by my research. Generally speaking, my work begins in a humanistic-existential orientation. I believe in the client's potential for growth. When I enter a treatment, I listen to the individual, relational, and cultural narratives I am told; to the layers in each narrative; to my own reactions. I focus on feelings, unfulfilled desires, maladaptive defenses, and unsatisfying means of relatedness with past and present others - all of which generate anxiety.

As a humanistic therapist, I believe that healing is both a universal capacity and a profoundly personal process. My goal is to help you discover and expand your unique healing process, and to release the blocks that prevent you from realizing your potential. I have ten years’ experience in the mental health field, supporting clients in coping with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, difficulties with trust and self-esteem, life transitions, trauma, and a myriad of other challenges.

Congratulations! It takes courage to search for a therapist. Are you searching for a therapist because you feel stressed, worried, anxious, or overwhelmed? Are you looking for a therapist to support you while you struggle over problems with your career or your relationships? Or how to make changes in your career or relationships? Or, maybe you have decided it is time to explore and resolve those personal issues that keep popping up again and again - the ones you cannot ignore any longer? Perhaps I am that therapist.

Deciding it is time to seek a therapist is a courageous act of self- love. Maybe you are feeling stuck or overwhelmed with life’s transitions or losses. Maybe you want to understand past trauma or the impact of your attachment style on your current relationships. Whatever brings you here, we will identify your goals, needs and strengths to help you deepen your self-understanding and heal. As a Traveling Therapist, my practice is currently fully remote. I also offer mentorship for those who wish to pursue the “Digital Nomad” life.

My clients are adults and young adults in different stages of life transition experiencing stressors, losses or trauma. This includes college students and young professionals navigating identity, interpersonal, and career stressors; middle age adults with families and careers who have multiple demands and little time to pay attention to their own needs and internal struggles, and older adults coping with the changes that can come with ageing including losses of important relationships, illness, or concerns about loneliness.

Are you feeling depressed or anxious and having trouble dealing with your home or work life? Are you struggling with your partner or mate, in the middle of a break up or having trouble finding a healthy relationship? Do you find yourself unfocused, unsure of yourself, overwhelmed, or lonely? Sometimes transitions like looking for a new job, starting or ending a relationship,deciding whether to have children or moving to a new area can be difficult. Uncomfortable or painful feelings which are coming from a life change or a past experience can sometimes feel insurmountable.

++Note--Currently I am providing only video telehealth therapy--no in person sessions.** As a licensed, clinical psychologist, I provide individual, group and couples psychotherapy to adults to provide support to them in overcoming life obstacles and achieving their goals.
