Therapists in Fenway, Boston, MA

People come to therapy for a lot of reasons, but many feel like they need a change from how things are. Some don’t know what it is that needs to change, and they want more insight about what new roads they might try walking down. Others know exactly the changes they want to make in their lives, but they need a safe place to say it out loud to themselves, and they want help along the way. Some can’t change their situation and still yearn to be at peace. Regardless of what brought you to session, my goal during our time together is to work with you to help you identify obstacles in your path.

Hello there, and welcome! Healing from trauma can feel daunting and exhausting; I'm here to help. I've trained in over 20 of the NCTSN best practices in Trauma Treatment and have a diverse range of skills and modalities to draw from. My range of expertise comes from working with parents experiencing fatigue from parenting in hard places and sitting beside children, adolescents and young adults working through old patterns to develop hopeful and relieving ways of moving through the world. I would be honored to join with you on this journey. Life can be so very hard, and yet so very beautiful despite it all.

Supporting you on your path towards wellness is my goal. Are you an adult who may be successful in most areas of life, but may find yourself struggling with the many complicated and stressful challenges in life? Is it harder to recognize and experience joy because of these challenges? I am a licensed clinical independent social worker, and have been practicing in the field since the early 2000s. If you are looking for realistic and effective methods of coping and managing your mental wellness, I can support you in doing so. I strive to provide a welcoming atmosphere where all parts of your identity are respected and affirmed.

My orientation is focused on seeing an individual within the context of their family, their work, their community. I will be a compassionate listener. But therapy requires more than compassionate listening. To have effective therapy is to be challenged in the way we think, feel, and live. My clinical style is to find solutions while staying rooted in compassion and understanding. I specialize in working with college-age individuals and young professionals.

Starting a therapeutic journey can be hard, so I strive to understand my clients first and foremost to ensure their process is as smooth, comfortable, and rewarding as possible. My approach as a therapist is to put my clients back in charge of their lives. I have experience working with people from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, socioeconomic classes, and religions. I enter each counseling session with an open mindset and provide a safe space for all. I help clients work through difficulties related to depression, anxiety, life transitions, ASD and ADHD, executive functioning, anger, grief, and many other challenges faced.

Many successful people struggle (often in secret) with anxiety, depression, alcohol abuse, relationship problems, stress, and burnout. They describe feeling overwhelmed, isolated, hopeless, and "stuck." I will work with you to develop an effective, tailor-made, and solutions-focused plan to help get things back on track. My most successful clients come ready to work.

The therapy session is a time and space one sets aside to focus on self. To be with self. And to build one’s self. It can be challenging to reflect on patterns, thoughts and emotions, relationships, past events and/or change, but it can also be transformative and rewarding. My role as your therapist is to witness your process and to reflect back with you along the way. The therapeutic relationship is an essential piece of my practice and is built on honesty, trust, empathy, and compassion.

I am Professor of Psychology at the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Boston University where I direct the Psychotherapy and Emotion Research Laboratory, www.bostonanxiety.org. My research focuses on the mechanism of treatment change, translating discoveries from neuroscience into clinical applications, emotions, and cultural expressions of psychopathology. I was the president of Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies and of the International Association for Cognitive Psychotherapy. I am currently the editor in chief of Cognitive Therapy and Research. I have published more than 300 scientific articles and more than 20 books. I am a Highly Cited Researcher.

You deserve to feel heard, understood, and valued for who you are as an individual! When we feel stuck and misunderstood, challenged by uncomfortable feelings, or we are struggling to navigate life, engaging in therapy allows us to understand what is contributing to each of these experiences. Being able to talk through these moments helps start us on a path toward feeling fulfilled and enlivened. Together, we will explore how your past and present experiences, your interpersonal relationships, and your learned coping strategies contributes to how you feel.

Being human is hard. We face unexpected challenges, grapple with confusing thoughts and emotions, and navigate interpersonal conflict. These obstacles are often confounded by a pressure to understand ourselves and make meaningful, "right" choices. Although it can feel exhausting and hopeless to deal with life's trials and tribulations, you do not have to traverse it alone. Through an empathetic, creative, and personalized approach, I offer my clients a pathway to growth and self-compassion in a chaotic world.

I believe the first step to helping people with their unique challenges is to build a connection founded on compassion, collaboration, and respect. To me, the therapeutic relationship acts as the foundation of a successful treatment plan. My goal is to act as support and encouragement as you face challenges, heal, seek out positive change, or search for a deeper understanding of yourself. I'm a bilingual therapist and provide services in English or Spanish while utilizing a dynamic style of treatment that combines aspects of CBT, talk therapy, person-centered therapy, art, writing, goal setting, meditation, and more.

Currently, accepting new clients through 4/1/23 - Tuesday daytime openings only. Reaching out and asking for help can be one of the most challenging aspects of starting the therapy process. If you have made it this far, you are ready to start. The majority of the clients I work with are aware of the issues they would like to focus on for treatment. With that, my approach tends to be both relational in style and goal-oriented in terms of treatment planning and working towards the best way to assist you in your personal growth and success.
