Stress Therapists in Abington, MA

I strongly believe in the power of self-compassion, self-love, and giving oneself grace. In my therapeutic space, I stress the benefits of taking active steps to learn how to treat yourself with the kindness and love that you deserve from yourself and others. One of the best intervention tool can be self-compassion and positive regard for oneself. I very much understand that developing this part of oneself can be difficult, as we live in a society that greatly profits from our dislike of ourselves. Despite this challenge, I strongly believe that we all have the capacity to overcome this and develop this skill set.

Finding a therapist can be overwhelming and sometimes downright intimidating. No matter if it's your first time and you have no idea what to expect or you are a seasoned veteran looking to get back in, what I strive to do is make the process as natural and easy as possible. I enjoy learning about you, teaching skills, and balancing validation with problem solving.

I may be a good fit for you if you are interested in the healing journey, want to learn more about yourself, are prepared to put the work in, find spirituality and mindfulness helpful and fulfilling, and are seeking EMDR therapy

If you are struggling with feeling stuck in the dark and lost in the past, then I may be able to help. Working together I can guide you to find the light within what feels like darkness. Being open to discuss and explore times of feeling lost, how we became lost and how we can find ourselves again. Utilizing your pre-existing strengths and internal listening to create growth and positive change is where the work begins. From creating this space, I believe that you can create healthy coping skills, improve communication skills/relationships, set appropriate boundaries, decrease levels of depression and anxiety and so much more.

It is OK to not feel OK! In fact, it makes absolute sense that you may be experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, irritability, and discontent as you try your best to navigate a world that can be chaotic to say the least! Do you feel like it is impossible to prioritize yourself when most of your efforts are focused on your family, job, or making others happy? Well, I applaud you in taking an enormous step in trusting the therapeutic process by saying "YES" to yourself.

Are you experiencing problems with drugs or alcohol? Are you caught up in a cycle of other addictive behaviors such as the Internet or gambling? I have good news and bad news for you. First the bad news: it takes effort to stop addictive behaviors, and to address the underlying emotional or trauma issues that compel you to relapse over and over again. There’s no magic wand, no Abracadabra. Now the good news. The cycle doesn’t have to be endless, and recovery is possible! I do individual, couples and family counseling.

My journey as a mental health professional started seven years ago in supporting individuals in substance use recovery. I graduated from Simmons University in 2018 with my Master's in Social Work and have gained experience in various clinical settings, including hospital settings, crisis work, and community mental health. I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing challenges with men's issues, medical conditions, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. My passion for supporting individuals during their most challenging life transitions drives me to continue working as a therapist today.

My ideal client seeks support for issues like racial trauma, depression, anxiety, generational trauma, or maternal mental health. They desire a holistic, client-led approach to address their needs and goals. They want to heal, develop coping strategies, and find purpose. They value a therapist who understands their experiences, offers empathy, and promotes growth. Together, we embark on a transformative journey of empowerment.
