Teen Therapists in Back Bay-Beacon Hill, Boston, MA

I approach psychotherapy from a place of empathy and non-judgment. I tailor my treatment approach to each unique individual I work with, drawing from cognitive-behavioral, relational, dialectical-behavioral and motivational interviewing; assisting clients with both the here-and-now symptoms (e.g. anxiety, depression) and the underlying issues associated with those symptoms (e.g. relationship problems, identity issues, past experiences of trauma).

My work is my passion. I commit wholeheartedly to helping my clients improve the quality of their relationships with others as well as with themselves, to identify and clarify goals, and to provide an environment that will best support this exploration and growth. My therapeutic style is highly collaborative and interactive, and I will work with you to create a customized treatment approach to meet the specific needs that are bringing you to treatment.

I believe the greatest gift a therapist can offer is full presence with a compassionate ear. We all have different life characteristics, circumstances, and capacities that are continually changing. And we all continue to utilize internal and external resources to manage those changes. Sometimes, we just need a reminder and mindfulness companion. No matter what your life transitions are, I look forward to being a resource to you. In our therapy space, I will provide a safe space for you to bring your whole self. By attending to your thinking and feeling processes, we will support the development of new skills to add to your toolkit.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 10 years experience in treating depression, anxiety, substance abuse, as well as relationship and family issues. I believe that when self-awareness is paired with motivation for healthy action, individuals and families can realize their fullest potential. My approach focuses on achieving this insight and motivation through establishing trust, building positive self esteem, and teaching healthy skills for coping. I have a holistic perspective and treatment approach, and believe that all elements of health and wellness need to be addressed in order to experience balance and a fulfilling life.

"I am committed to help you find that feeling of empowerment within you that you may not have even known you had, and then using that empowerment to resolve real life situations."

I am looking to work with people who are not satisfied with how things are in their life, and ready to take control in order for their lives to improve. In addition to actively listening and problem solving, I coach individuals to activate specific techniques designed to be applied throughout their daily lives. It is in the hands of the individual to apply these skills in order to reach their goals. If an individual is not quite there, we'll work together to figure out what's blocking their potential.
