Bisexual Therapists in Arlington, MA

I am a licensed psychologist in Massachusetts and I provide therapy and psychological assessment to people across the life-span. I work with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families. My areas of particular interest include: depression, anxiety, stress management, relational concerns and conflicts, gay/lesbian/ bisexual issues, trauma and healing from traumatic experiences, veterans issues, relational concerns and conflicts, and psychological assessment.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and polyamorous groups who are having issues surrounding sex, sexuality, and/or gender identity or clients who need a gender/sexuality affirming therapist who can help with other issues, such as mood disorders, anxiety, and/or trauma. I work with people of all genders and sexual orientations. Issues, needs, and goals are highly individualized - I work with my clients to find the right path for them.

I help people who are exploring questions of sexuality, gender expression, and relationship styles to accept themselves in their beauty and strength, so they can experience loving connection in their lives. Whether you are struggling with gender expression, sexual orientation, desire for multiple partners, BDSM or kink, or other desires that are outside the mainstream, I am here to listen, to educate, to guide, and to help you integrate the parts of you that are currently closed off. I also work with trauma and grief, and provide a space for the boundaried expression and relief of old wounds.

I am accepting new clients for virtual visits. Clients reach out to me because they want something to change. It could be that you want to worry less, feel happier or more fulfilled in your relationships, increase motivation, reduce harsh self-criticism, or need some support with stressful transitions or losses. Maybe you are recognizing your current ways of coping with challenges aren't working as well as you'd like, and you want to explore new ones. If you feel like you are in a rut or can't seem to get out of your own way, therapy can help you figure it out and get to where you want to be.

Starting therapy or transitioning to a new therapist can be intimidating, but I am passionate about helping clients feel safe by offering a warm and empathetic approach. I fully believe that trust and understanding are the backbone to a positive therapeutic relationship, and I prioritize building that foundation with clients. During our sessions together, you will be valued and heard in a safe, non-judgemental environment. Therapy is your time to grow, and I am excited to be part of that journey with you!

Life has a way of challenging core beliefs about ourselves, our relationships, and our environment. Perhaps you find yourself experiencing anxiety, depression, feelings of stagnation, or of aloneness. Maybe your relationships or work life are not satisfying, or perhaps you would like to know yourself better in order to live more fully. I would like to work with you not only to identify and treat problems, but also to build on your strengths. My goal is to provide a safe, genuinely caring, and non-judgmental environment for effective self-exploration.

I am a psychotherapist in private practice for 20 years. I work with individuals and couples, treating such issues as depression, anxiety, trauma, couples and family issues and relationship challenges. I offer an initial free interview that enables you to interview me and talk about why you are looking for therapy.

I respond to all inquiries. I’m glad you’re taking this important step! People tell me I am easy to talk to. Very little surprises me and I listen carefully and non-judgmentally. With my experience I am quickly able to help identify the best places to start work that feels effective, to create change and bring peace. I can help you feel less ashamed or weird or worried or alone. The things we judge ourselves for are simply the best strategies we have come up with over time to get by (and maybe it’s time to let some of them go). I love to help people feel more comfortable being exactly who they are, or want to become.

I believe therapy is an opportunity to heal, grow, explore and create change. If you are looking for extra support or guidance through a challenging situation and ready to move to a new direction. My style is interactive,utilizing the client's strengths, as we work together towards achieving your goals.

I am a "generalist" and clinically serve individuals, couples and families across all phases of development (from pre-teens and adolescents through to older adults). Psychotherapy is a process designed to increase general mental health and well-being by clarifying goals and values, strengthening psychological weaknesses, and learning more effective and sophisticated strategies to better manage emotional, social and internal (e.g. thoughts) life. Through a gentle but focused conversational style, I utilize the latest clinical research and theory to construct a collaborative and personally-tailored treatment plan that aims for symptom relief and performance enhancement.

Do you feel stuck, upset, frustrated, scared or confused? A troubling combination of these feelings? People often call me when stresses in their lives have increased, they're having difficulty coping or are experiencing uncomfortable levels of anxiety, depression or confusion in relationships, disappointment in self or others, work difficulties, or problems adjusting to loss and other life changes. In the context of a respectful, warm and trusting therapeutic alliance, I work with individuals and couples to empower them to build skills necessary to explore, fully experience and productively weather the emotional storms essential to a worthwhile and creative life.
