Attachment-based Therapists in Boston, MA

When we experience inner conflict or are unsure of our life's direction,talking with a therapist can help explore and resolve stressful issues as well as help restore balance to our lives. As a licensed therapist in Boston ,I view counseling in a holistic way, valuing all aspects of a person. My therapeutic approach is client centered and collaborative. My view of therapy is that it provides an opportunity for people to gain insight into their lives, and assists them in making positive change.

With any and all presenting concerns, I provide a warm, non-judgmental environment. I have an integrative approach, with a particular focus on motivational enhancement, insight oriented exploration of past experiences, and when appropriate, specific tools and coping strategies. I use a number of research backed cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) protocols, which are proven to be effective in treating anxiety and depression. However, I am careful to use these methods in the context of a client centered and welcoming environment which accounts for an individual's particular needs, experiences, and readiness to change.

No Stones Thrown Counseling Services Inc., was formed in 2022 to address the needs of BIPOC families living in the City of Boston to help decrease the stigmas associated with therapy. We are interested in supporting clients with processing complex trauma, mental issues, and healing in non traditional environments that promote healing and recovery. Clients will have the opportunity to choose their in office experience, telehealth, or in-home therapy.

Life is an adventurous journey deserving of our attention and time, especially in critical moments such as loss, transitions, and unknowns.

I am a relational therapist and a psychoanalyst. I graduated from The General Training Program in Psychoanalysis at the Mass Institute for Psychoanalysis in 2019.

Throughout our lives, we face challenges that test our mental strength and stability.

I am a licensed psychologist specialized in providing psychotherapy to adults. I work compassionately with my clients to create personal growth, including: Developing insight about one's characteristic ways of dealing with stress, engaging in relationships, or maintaining motivation * * Creating healthy responses to stress at work or in family life * * Navigating transitions like divorce, loss, pregnancy, job change, relocation * * Recognizing and managing anxiety and depression * * Unpacking complex family dynamics and histories * * Clarifying personal values and aligning goals accordingly.

Do you want to feel more connected to yourself and others, to feel more wholehearted and present and less overwhelmed or "stuck," to work through experiences in your past, and/or to feel more confident in breaking unhelpful patterns in your life? We may be a good fit. My approach is authentic and transparent, prioritizing the therapeutic relationship as the foundation of our work. I specialize in working with trauma, relationship based concerns, Portuguese speakers, veterans, POC and folks experiencing marginalization, and folks working through significant life transitions.

My clients are typically between ages 3-19 years old and present with a wide variety of strengths and opportunities for further growth. My passion is working with young children, latency age youth, adolescents, and their families who have experienced trauma. I firmly believe that children and families are resilient and have the power to heal and recreate narratives that reflect their inner strength.

My psychotherapy practice is dedicated to supporting people with anxiety, depression, family and relationship challenges, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Are you feeling overwhelmed and are ready to make a change? Navigating emotional challenges can be exhausting. You do not need to go through this alone. We will work together to meet your unique goals. Therapy is a chance to make deep and lasting changes in your life. I work to be a compassionate, impartial, and supportive guide in that process.

I believe that good therapy brings people closer to the things that matter in their lives. Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burned out, or struggling with anxiety or depression can be both a signal of how much distance exists between you and what matters as well as a barrier to change.
