Therapists in Boston, MA

Everyone has days when they feel a little anxious or overwhelmed by feelings. When those feelings start to interfere with your ability to sleep, work, engage in your relationships and enjoy life, it may be time to get some professional help. Therapy can offer the time and space to sort through your emotions, to learn how to cope with both the daily struggles and the long-term challenges, and to help you become your best self. Investing the time in yourself and in your mental health now can yield long-term benefits in helping you heal and set you on a happier and healthier path.

These days many of us are inundated with concerns ranging from challenges in our work and personal lives to wider global issues that have all helped to illuminate the importance of good mental health. As a counselor whose work is rooted in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a solution focused approach I believe therapy can be a powerful tool to develop insight into our suffering, learn valuable coping methods and foster a perspective conducive to a happy and healthy life. I'm hopeful that together we can work to navigate the difficulties you face in a collaborative and thoughtful way.

What has brought you to seek therapeutic services today? Perhaps you feel misunderstood when you try to connect with others, leaving you lonely and yearning for healthy relationships. Perhaps you are living with grief, causing you to feel both overwhelmed and numb. Perhaps you realize you are lacking in coping skills, resulting in intense feelings of sadness or anxiety. Perhaps you are unhappy with your decision-making and envision brighter future for yourself. You have achieved the first step towards that brighter future by inquiring on mental health services. I offer support towards the wellbeing goals you have set.

I have 20 years of experience in the field. Are there changes that either you want to or need to act upon? If things feel too difficult to change and you need guidance, support, direction, and empathic listening you might be a great candidate for individual therapy from me. What separates me from other clinicians is my versatility. Throughout my career, I have worked at every level of care and every population. From individual therapy/group therapy to intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs to being the clinical director at a locked psychiatric hospital, I have seen pretty much everything.

I am a warm, playful and compassionate therapist. My goal is to provide a safe and affirming space, especially for transgender, non-binary, gender expansive, queer/LGBTQIA+ adolescents and young adults.

Welcoming NEW patients! I understand that that taking steps towards receiving mental health treatment requires tremendous strength. I aim to foster collaborative relationships with my clients as they move towards their unique goals.

If you have made it this far, well done you! Therapy can be so tough because it requires us to admit that something requires change, and most importantly, ask for help. It can be overwhelming to figure out how to balance your mental health and your daily responsibilities. As your therapist, I don’t expect you to have that figured out because it’s my job to help show you. Our therapeutic space that I offer is nothing short of unconditional support for your entire being. I encourage clients to bring their whole self to therapy and empower clients to use this space in a way that feels most effective for them.

Perhaps you find it difficult to establish healthy relationships; or despite your commitment and willingness to change, you continue to suffer, feeling anxious, depressed, drifting away from the person you'd like to be. Maybe you feel emotions that you can't name and/or manage. Together we can understand and work with what you are experiencing. I have decades of experience in the field of psychotherapy working with families, couples and individuals, and I specialize in the treatment of trauma using state-of-the-art, evidence-based approaches.

My ideal client is the individual who is ready to both ask for and accept help. Change can be hard and it’s ok if you’re not read. If however, you are ready and you’re looking for a safe place to better understand your challenges and how to overcome them, I can help.

It's an unfortunate reality, but many people never reach their full potential in life; there always seems to be one or more things holding them back. This can be due to past traumatic experiences, a difficult childhood, their own thoughts, etc... the list is endless! As a result, anxiety and depression can set in.

The pandemic, political division, racial injustice, and unstable world can lead us to feel off balance, stuck, or afraid. Sometimes we can cope with this on our own, and other times friends and/or family support us. Sometimes that just isn't enough; and we need an objective, nonjudgemental person who has training in counseling to help. I have many years of experience in individual and group therapy. My approach is active, genuine, and strengths-based. It is important to note that I do not take insurance at this time.
