Therapists in Jamaica Plain, MA

I bring a warm and interactive style to my psychotherapeutic practice, which can best be described as "eclectic," as I believe that not one type of therapy is right for everyone. Pulling from psychodynamic (insight-oriented) psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness/meditation, and somatics (the integration of body/mind/spirit), I will tailor my practice to your individual needs depending on the particular issues you would like to address in therapy.

I provide a warm, attentive, and interactive psychotherapy relationship that aims to help people deepen their self-understanding, break out of hurtful patterns, and develop new modes of thinking, feeling, and relating to others that will reduce depression and anxiety. I am particularly interested in trying to help clients feel freer, more real, more connected, and more like the authors of their own lives, so that they can achieve what they hope for in work and relationships.

If you have worked with a therapist in the past but were unable to connect with them; Talk2me. If you feel down, lost, or doubtful that life can get better but want to hope that it can; Talk2me. If you are overwhelmed with the process of getting help for your issues; Talk2me. If you are afraid of talking about your issues with others because you have been judged harshly in the past; Talk2me. If you want changes in your life but struggle to make them happen for yourself; Talk2me. If the thought of returning to life after two years of isolation feels daunting; Talk2me. If you want to be heard, honored, and respected; Talk2me.

It is a brave thing to seek out resources for healing and change. In my years of practice I have come to understand that the right therapy connection generates the power and possibility of cultivating our best selves. I work extensively with people who have survived trauma, redefined (dis)ability and come into LGBT community. I work with diverse relationship and family structures. I can help you identify what you most need and support you in building the strengths and resources to get it. In our work together we can create a space for you to survive and thrive.

Were you the kid who people told: "You have so much potential. Why can't you finish your work? And, why's your backpack look like a hurricane hit it?" Are you the adult who has moments of brilliance but feel like you can never quite get it together? Are you often overwhelmed by all of the things you have to do? Many of my clients say they feel like they're falling behind their peers and don't know how to catch up. Others say they feel like no one really gets them & they have to put on a mask to fit in. Feeling different from others is taxing. Layers of shame & self-doubt can build on each other.

For over 20 years I have worked with individuals and couples to help them find greater clarity and balance in their lives, equipping them with the critical skills they need to navigate the challenges of living in a very face paced, digital world. I rely greatly on the tenants of IFS therapy and support that with a holistic and non-pathologizing outlook. I believe that we all carry a self healing drive, that, when supported correctly, leads to improved health and well being.

Therapy is about seeking balance and asking questions and looking for answers. Finding a balance between what we feel and what we know and a balance between the quicker emotional side of our mind and the more considered rational side are part of the process. Whether the questions are around interpersonal relationships, substance abuse, parenting, or career and motivation the answers will come only with this balance. My approach to therapy is about solving problems based on a relational and collaborative approach offering a supportive and sympathetic ear balanced with reality and solutions.

I provide individual therapy to children, adolescents and adults. I am known for creating a non-judgemental and down to earth environment, where we can work together to reach goals, manage stress and anxiety, create an empowering space and develop positive coping strategies. I pull from various clinical approaches, fine tuning my approach to each individual client and their situation. I have significant experience helping individuals manage and cope with attachment disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, transitional factors, social issues, parenting, impulse control, emotional regulation, sensory processing disorders, PTSD, trauma and adoption/foster care.

We may find ourselves faced with struggles and challenges that can leave us feeling trapped within our circumstances, in our inner struggle, and in feeling that we are limited in our ability to imagine how things could be better. My goal in therapy is to help you expand the space that exists between you and your struggle, allowing room for hope and all the good things you deserve in life. I truly believe that anything is workable and I welcome the opportunity to support you on your journey.
