Women's Issues Therapists in Auburn, MA

Are you a busy mom carrying the mental load of being the default parent? Never-ending juggling of everyone’s wants and needs with very little support. No one can quite understand what is on your plate. Unspoken expectations feel unfair and unequal, but you don't complain. It doesn’t mean you don’t love being a Mom. You know you’re blessed and you love them so much it hurts sometimes. The reality is, a person can’t continue like this without the risk of falling apart. And still, you keep moving forward somehow. You’ve heard the sayings: you can’t pour from an empty cup, or you need to put your own mask on first. But, how?

Are you a busy woman or a helping professional who is burning out? Do you prefer to be virtual so that you can seek services in the privacy of your own home or office? Most of my clients are high-functioning women who are no longer willing to tolerate a lukewarm life. Many express that they are feeling depleted, stressed and stuck in patterns detrimental to their health and overall well-being. They are ready to break free from those dysfunctional patterns and are looking for an experienced mentor and guide to help them. They desire to cultivate self-love, self-mastery and a more balanced and healthy lifestyle.

I believe it takes a village to raise a family, work, get a higher education; but for some of us, we don't have a village. We don't have support from the people in our lives that should be there to support us when we need it. This lack of support can make us feel isolated, misunderstood, stuck; and for those of us suffering from additional stressors such as mental health concerns, anxiety, depression, lack of work, grief, chronic illness, relationship problems, it can feel very lonely.

For over 30 years, I have been bringing a practical spirituality into my work as a psychotherapist and teacher. I've helped guide thousands of individuals/couples to restore peace and emotional well-being so as to create positive, healthy outcomes and fulfilling change in their lives. My unique style of working with clients combines all of my expertise in the field of counseling and positive psychology along with deep wisdom and intuitive insight gained from 30 years of studying/practicing several paths of spiritual knowledge.

Currently Accepting New Clients: I am a Bilingual Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who speaks both English and my native language of French Creole. “If you’re always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” Normalcy is only judged by ourselves and within ourselves.

Life is full of seasons. Some seasons are more turbulent than others. Do you find that you’re losing sleep, or worrying more than usual? Maybe your usual hobbies have taken a backseat, or you’re spending more time alone. You may be struggling with other health issues, or have started ignoring them. Perhaps you've started using substances more often than you'd like to. Or you just don’t understand why no one “gets” you and you wish someone would just try!

Life often throws curveballs and learning new ways to respond to stress can be one of the most important things we can do. I enjoy building relationships and watching others develop the skills they need to successfully overcome their challenges in life. Therapeutic work can be difficult, but I've found that a good sense of humor can go a long way.

I work with any age level, from 4 years old, with or without parents, and adults. I work from a heart-centered, client-focused approach. My background is in dance/movement therapy, focusing, and body-oriented psychotherapies. I have years of experience working with young children with emotional and behavioral issues, their families, and adult individuals.

*Accepting new clients for daytime hours only. Return clients welcome. Please Email.* The most important thing to me is helping people reach their individualized healthy balance of clinical, emotional and personal goals in life. I pride myself in helping people to trust their mind, body (gut) and soul for positive changes. The biggest changes sometimes can be as simple as changing one or a few small realistic detail(s) on a very consistent basis, regardless of the topic. Therapy is a journey as unique as each individual and will be treated as such.

I work with adults across the lifespan who are navigating the variety of unique challenges that life presents–from depression and anxiety, to major life transitions, to serious health concerns and grief. With a background in healthcare (having worked in emergency, critical care, and hospice settings for more than 10 years), I have a particular passion for working with clients facing life challenges at the intersection of physical and mental health, whether that be coping with your own physical and/or mental illness, being a caregiver, dealing with stress and burnout, or grieving a loss.
