Therapists in Becket, MA

One of the core reasons people come to counseling is that they feel a lack of connection. Sometimes that connection is to others in their life; loved ones, partners, friends, or co-workers. Just as often that lack of connection is to themselves; fear, trauma, sexuality or shame. Fostering those connections with transparency, brevity and compassion is something I love to do. Helping people find understanding and to build coping skills that aren’t just instant gratification which drown out the real issues we’ve got (can feel good though). Skills and insight that’s more meaningful and effective than avoidance, or memes on Instagram.

I believe that a good therapist is a collaborator who works with you as part of a team. In this way, I will not only offer insights and help identify possibly unhealthy patterns, but I also will provide direction, support, and assistance in developing the skills you need to overcome your challenges. My approach to therapy is cognitive behavioral and solution-focused. My intent is to always provide a safe, compassionate, and caring space in which to better understand the challenges you face and to help you develop or enhance the skills you need to meet your goals.

The most important relationship we will ever have is the one with ourselves, nurtured and cultivated over a lifetime. Finding the right therapist with which to partner in this journey is an essential foundation for building awareness and growth. I bring a compassionate and collaborative approach in working with adults who have a history of anxiety, burnout, insomnia, depression, living with a chronic disease, managing life transitions and those seeking their purpose. I specialize in and resonate with empaths and highly sensitive people to help them manage and navigate strategies for operating in a challenging world.
