Therapists in Chinatown, Boston, MA

I strive to create resilient therapeutic relationships based in Liberation Health. Liberation Health deconstructs dominant worldview messaging, examining the client's internal and external oppressions. Liberation Health can also help us unpack intergenerational struggles, digging into the tensions, resilience, and joy of our heritage. I offer a therapeutic space to unpack themes of immigration, diaspora, and cultural estrangement. Overall, I focus on psychodynamic and intersectional tools to help clients address stress, anxiety, and depression.

Welcome! As a licensed therapist, I am dedicated to helping individuals overcome life's challenges and find their path to healing and growth. With expertise in post-traumatic stress, grief, anxiety, and ADHD, I have gained diverse experiences throughout my professional career. These experiences include providing individual therapeutic services, developing group curriculum, and conducting training in recovery facilities. Additionally, I've had the privilege of offering individual counseling to clients of all ages with a wide range of needs at Beth Israel Lahey Health.

***NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** Understanding your relationship with yourself and others is a quintessential part of the human experience. Yet, sometimes we become stuck in old patterns or negative cycles that do not allow our relationships to reach their full potential. My goal is to partner with you to explore what may be holding you back on a personal or interpersonal level, and to provide you with concrete tools such as communication and mindfulness strategies to aid in your growth. I believe that through this work, we can become more in tune with ourselves and others, and live happier and healthier lives.

Are you ready to make a change in your life but want the support to do so? As a therapist I offer a space for you to pinpoint your hopes and goals, expand your understanding of your values, and ultimately take your power back from the problems that try to control you. I believe that you are the expert on your life and would love to join you on your journey to self-trust and growth. I work with individuals and couples with an integrative, individualized, and strength-based approach. Together I hope to create a curious, collaborative, and non-judgmental space to help you feel valued and supported in your journey.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 30 years' experience. My approach to psychotherapy is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel they can be themselves. My clients include people from all walks of life who want to work on issues such as difficult relationships, stress/anxiety, depression, conflict with family/friends, loss, difficult workplace situations, codependence, and those who are highly sensitive. I strive to help each client develop his/her own skills to reach their goals, to develop more fulfilling lives, to feel better and have more satisfying relationships.

Accepting New Clients! Do you struggle with imposter syndrome, coping with traumatic events, difficulties developing a strong sense of self or managing relationships? Maybe you have been experiencing depression, anxiety or distress. Wherever you are in your journey, you are worthy of processing in a space where all aspects of you are met with acceptance, curiosity, and empowerment. As a queer, mixed-race, neurodivergent, & Latinx clinician I support individuals who are struggling to accept themselves, or may be learning to accept or better understand more about who they are.

With the ever-expanding responsibilities of living and working, it can be easy to fall into a pattern of going through the motions and merely surviving, rather than thriving. We will collaborate to identify and express your individual needs, and work together to leverage your unique strengths and perspectives into development and fulfillment.

Accepting New Clients. Contending with life's daily pressures can often make it difficult to feel confident in your ability to thrive - and not just barely survive. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, or other concerns, therapy is a safe space where you can engage your existing coping skills and support systems while also discovering and implementing additional strategies and resources. I genuinely believe we have the resilience necessary to make meaningful, lasting changes in our lives.

Life is forever changing; the only constant is change. Managing change can be overwhelming, and it can be challenging to be the best you possible within that change. Sometimes, you need support around those challenges you are going through. In our work together, we will explore these changes and everything that comes with them to make you more confident in your ever-evolving world. In safe, warm, and work a judgment free pace. I earned my master in mental health counseling and art therapy in 2015 from Lesley University. Since graduation, I have worked in multiple different types of settings with very diverse populations.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the state of Massachusetts who has experience partnering with adolescents, young adults, adults, senior citizens, and couples seeking help with depression, anxiety, grief & loss, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, and life transitions. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Psychology at St. Thomas Aquinas College and my Master of Social Work at New York University.

I believe therapy is a tool for clients to be empowered and supported as they work toward their personal goals and cope with whatever life has thrown their way. I enjoy partnering with my clients as they strive to make meaning of these many challenges experienced across various stages in life. I have worked extensively with LGBTQ+ clients, those hailing from diverse backgrounds, as well as those working through trauma, anxiety, and depression. I am also interested to work with clients managing burnout in various high-pressure professions, and have extensive experience working with marginalized communities.

Psychologist Carl Rogers said, “In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?” My clinical approach is to provide a therapeutic connection that helps clients acknowledge, bear, and put into perspective all the struggles, messiness, small delights, bliss and everything in between that we experience as part of the human condition. Therapy is an opportunity to delve into that quarrel with the self.

Old habits and fixed thoughts may be preventing you from making decisions or choosing a life-path. Together, we will work to build your confidence, decision making skills, and develop strategies for you to achieve success! With over 20 years of experience, I graduated from Lesley University with a Master in Expressive Therapy with an Art Therapy Specialization. I received post-graduate training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma studies. I am a Registered Art Therapist and Certified Eat, Breathe Thrive(TM) Instructor.

Life experiences, transitions, and relationships provide both an opportunity to be challenged and to grow. In my practice, I welcome adults, couples, adolescents and families who wish to improve the quality of any dimension of their lives - from professional, family and parenting relationships to emotional, interpersonal, or physical challenges. Drawing upon specialized training focused on gaining insight (psychodynamic), building skills to manage emotions and behaviors (cognitive behavioral) and understanding relationships (family systems/relational), I work closely with individuals to develop understanding and identify goals that address the distinct factors that may be inhibiting life pursuits or interfering with personal, academic, or professional satisfaction and success.

I am dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and young professionals on their journey towards healing and growth. With expertise in anxiety, trauma, relationships, and depression, I provide a compassionate and empowering space for my clients to explore their emotions, themselves, and their internal workings. I collaborate with clients to identify the underlying causes of their anxiety, challenge thought patterns, and figure out who they are. I provide a warm, safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, find their voice, and towards creating a more fulfilling life. I believe we are a team.

Therapy works best as a partnership between the client and the therapist. Research shows a good therapeutic relationship is the best predictor of success in therapeutic work. I use this in my approach to make therapy safe, validating, and collaborative. Therapy should be a space not only to work on challenges but a place to celebrate success and joy.

Therapy changes lives and it will change yours! Whether you are in crisis or just know that it is time to make some lifestyle changes, therapy can help. Life transitions are the transformative bridges that connect one chapter of our journey to the next. It is in human nature to want homeostasis, but we know that the only constant in life is change. Whether it's a happy event such as the birth of a child or a relocation to a dream city, or something difficult like the loss of a loved one or a divorce, change creates stress and disruption that might be difficult to navigate.

Now accepting new clients for a flat rate of $35/session! My work begins with creating a therapeutic space where open-mindedness, warmth, and commitment to improvement come together to create an environment for healing and growth. I believe our state of mind directly influences how we shape the quality of our lives. I also believe in every person’s right to live in a way that aligns with their own version of happiness, peace and fulfillment. My goal is to serve as part of the process of getting you closer to your own ideal vision of life.

Making a decision to start therapy is not only a courageous one, but an empowering one that can be truly life-changing. My approach has always been to form a collaborative partnership with my client while creating a trusting, supportive, non-judgmental, and productive environment in which we work closely together to address any concerns you might have. As someone who has practiced mindfulness and meditation for many years, I also appreciate the interconnectedness between mind and body and embrace an holistic view of healing. I look forward to having the privilege of working with you.
