Therapists in Boston, MA

My approach to therapy and therapeutic life coaching are the same in that they are grounded in inclusiveness and education as I work with clients to progress through different stages of healing. My style incorporates creative and spiritual modalities (art, crystals, writing, breath work, reiki). I am committed to the therapeutic relationship and strive to develop a rapport that encompasses empathy, warmth, and empowerment. Some of my areas of focus are: depression and anxiety, spirituality, life transitions, social-emotional development, relationships, and grief.

We're the therapists for "kids who don't like therapy." These days - especially - teens are too often suffering and struggling in their homes and in our schools. And everyone could use some help: kids, parents, and the caring professionals in our schools. Throughout the state, our therapists and life coaches serve as "part of the team," helping teens to feel better, and do better. Together, we'll explore and better understand what's been happening, how to change patterns, and how to get better results!

We work well with people throughout the age range, whether it is a child struggling in school, an adult overwhelmed by life's demands, or a senior citizen in need of support, we are prepared and eager to help. While your relationship with your therapist is central, we focus on RESULTS: With a dynamic mix of positive psychology and evidence-based treatment, it's our mission to help you to feel better & do better in your life.

We all have wounds to heal. Trauma is universal and each person has their own unique journey of healing and reintegration. Having learned this universal truth, I have chosen empathy, openness, and heart-centered care as key elements of my approach as a therapist and life coach.

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.
