Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Boston, MA

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in performance psychology and athlete mental health. My mission is to help athletes and performers like you push the boundaries of your potential, translate training gains into consistent performance success, and overcome inevitable pressures and setbacks. Whether you are seeking to rebuild your confidence after injury, manage anxiety or self-doubt, maintain composure when the stakes are high, or work through mental health challenges, I have the training, experience, and evidence-based tools to help.

Dedicating time and attention to our own needs can feel overwhelming for so many of us. My goal is to support and challenge you as you jump into the journey of self-advocacy and compassion. I work alongside you as you come through the moments that feel endless, the emotions that feel confusing, and the thoughts that feel overpowering. Together, we can identify strategies to find clarity within your emotions.

I believe "Feeling Good" matters and that it takes both strength and courage to seek out therapy. I am a licensed mental health counselor, who received my master's degree in mental health counseling from The College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY. I have 10+ years of experience working with children, teens, and adults providing both child, individual, and family therapy. Some of my specialty areas include life transitions, relationship/family issues and dynamics, narcissistic abuse, women's issues, self-worth, LGBTQ+, sexuality, and gender identity, along with grief and loss.

As your therapist, I work as an active and genuine listener to support your needs. Whether you seek support through a difficult time or help identifying patterns of functioning that may hinder change, happiness and success, the therapeutic relationship is fundamental to my work and forms the foundation of being able to work together. A good therapeutic fit allows for safe exploration toward change. My goal is to to support you on a path toward feeling and functioning better. I use an integrative approach to therapy including psychodynamic, relational-based, client-centered, attachment and cognitive -behavioral therapies.

You deserve to feel better. You are capable of learning to create the life you have always envisioned. If you have found yourself struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, using substances more than before, relationship or work issues, coping with loss or a family member with addiction issues, and other life stressors I would like to help you express yourself, learn new coping strategies, and ultimately improve your life.

I have experience and enjoy working with clients of all ages. I am most passionate in working with children, youth, adolescents, and young adults. I am excited to help empower you to recognize your own resilience and capabilities. I have experience in helping clients build confidence, self advocacy skills and in helping improve mood, quality of relationships, and more. I meet my clients with kindness, empathy, respect, and without judgment. I seek to create a trusting therapeutic space where people can make desired changes in the way they think, feel, and interact with the world around them.

Accepting New Clients Now. Taking the step to start therapy can often be overwhelming and intimidating, but it is also empowering. Too often we do not put ourselves first. This is a time and a space to focus on you. I hope to be an empathetic partner on this journey with you. I believe that therapy is most successful when there is a collaborative, working relationship between therapist and client. I work with adults, both individuals and couples who are navigating life's many complexities including relationship struggles, grief and loss, infertility/pregnancy loss, anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts and more.

Does it feel like anxiety ever holds you hostage? Or do you, your teen, or your college-aged child struggle to make sense of your emotions or feel like emotions (or running from emotions) drive your decisions? Emotions are beautiful and challenging, and I love helping teens, young adults, and adults navigate the storm. I completed my post-doc training at McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School (HMS) in the 3East Intensive Program providing adherent DBT therapy to adolescents. I have experience in a range of settings including community mental health, IOP, PHP, and Residential Treatment.

I am EMDR certified therapist, specialized in CBT , DBT, advanced EMDR and trauma therapies. I apply person-centered, skill-building approaches and relationship-centered communication techniques in individual, couples and family therapies. The areas of focus include but not limited to complex PTSD, emotion regulation, nourish inner child, heal attachment wounds, enhance resilience, strengthen healthy self-esteem and build meaningful relationship.

Therapy is a creative process we can embark on together. While change is truly hard work sometimes, as an experienced individual therapist and group facilitator, I strive to provide a compassionate and validating therapeutic environment while establishing a clear set of objectives allowing you to track, quantify, and celebrate your achievements as you progress. I reserve a portion of my practice for clients who utilize insurance and/or who reside in Massachusetts and offer convenient virtual coaching and consulting services elsewhere on a cash-only basis.

As a South African immigrant I love working with other's who question identity and meaning in life. My main goal is to empower you, finding your strengths, reducing negative thought cycles (anxiety, depression) and teaching you to untie your emotional knots and to live authentically with meaning. You will leave having better relationships with yourself, and others. Believe it or not we will do a lot of laughing while we work. Experience: creativity, work/life balance, sexuality, anxiety, leadership, couples therapy,premarital/dating, stress reduction. I have trained in diverse settings (including fellowship at Boston University's Danielsen Institute).

I am a firm believer that everyone has their own unique story, and that we are the experts in our own lives. Anxiety, depression, and maladaptive thinking processes are common manifestations and responses to past trauma. Therapy with me is a collaborative process where we explore the impact of this trauma and a range of other issues that may be impeding your ability to live your best life. My role in the therapeutic relationship is to provide a safe space for curiosity and exploration, and offer tools that highlight and build upon your innate strengths and resources, ultimately allowing you to take actions to better your life.

I believe the greatest gift a therapist can offer is full presence with a compassionate ear. Many clients seek therapy because something that was working for them is no longer working. Maybe you feel unheard, unseen, anxious, angry, stuck, or burnt-out. Maybe you have felt this for a long time, but believed you needed permission to feel this way. We all perform the work of care and repair to show up for relationships and our work despite the social and political landscape that shapes how we experience our personal and collective bodies. In our therapy space, even if you take your shoes off at the door, you can bring your whole self.

I believe that a therapist should be consistent, caring and non judgemental. I lead my practice with the mission that all clients should be treated with unconditional positive regard. I am a passionate individual with experience working within the mental health and substance use field. I have worked at various different addiction and mental health treatment programs ranging from detox, psychiatric hospitalization, residential and outpatient levels of care. My specialty addresses addiction and co-occurring disorders.
