Therapists in Jamaica Plain, MA

Do you have moments of brilliance but feel like you can never quite get it together? You work so hard to stay organized, but always feel like you’re drowning. You’ve got so many unanswered emails that you’ve stopped checking your inbox, and you can’t remember the last time that your to-do list didn’t fill you with dread and guilt. You know that ADHD plays a role in this, but you can’t slow down long enough to figure out how. For years, you’ve been thinking about getting support, but something always gets in the way. You wonder if working with the right therapist would help you get rid of this sense of never being enough.

I am a Latina therapist trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS-Informed), who works with adolescents and adults in-person and via telehealth in the state of Massachusetts. I practice through a social justice, trauma-informed, and liberation health lens. I aim to create a therapeutic space that centers and uplifts the needs of people with marginalized identities and bodies, such as BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse individuals.

Caring, collaborative, evidence-based support for individuals, children, youth, families and couples. Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Gender Issues, Parenting, Child Behavioral Issues, Relationship Issues, Sexuality and family conflict. I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), EMDR, Imago (couples), Interpersonal, and Psychodynamic approaches. Decades of experience with children (2-18) and families. Experience with trans, queer/lgbt; poly. I received my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the Univ of VT and post-doctoral fellowship at Children's Hospital Boston/Harvard Medical School.

I provide a Client Centered, Action Oriented, Humanistic approach to supporting adolescents and young adults through challenges that can arise during this developmental stage. With over 25 years of experience working with youth in various settings, I have come to understand the importance of creating a safe space where youth can explore and process their feelings, gain the skills necessary to cope with adversity, and articulate their hopes and dreams; becoming strong, resilient young men and women; ready and able to reach their fullest potentials. It is my hope to witness this growth in every child I work with.

I firmly believe that change begins with you. Whatever the thing or event was that led you to seek out therapy, I want to first commend you for taking the first step. There are a variety of reasons someone might decide it's time to talk to a professional, including just wanting to have someone to talk to, and no reason is more valid than the other. Whether you are wanting to explore your past, learn effective communication skills, better manage your anxiety and/or depression, or if you're wanting to learn how to stay focused and complete tasks in a timely manner, I can help you with that.

Are you looking to find relief from your daily struggles? A nurturing therapeutic relationship can help you uncover the self-love, acceptance, and resilience needed to grow and change. With deep respect for your uniqueness and wisdom, this relationship can inspire and act as the catalyst for progress. My work with clients is centered around creating emotional intelligence and a deeper understanding of underlying experiences and core beliefs.

I believe that the answers to people's problems lie within, and that I serve as a guide to facilitate the release of blocks and the emerging of one's wholeness. My approach is psycho-spiritual, collaborative, strengths-based, holistic, with a social justice lens; that is, I see you as a whole person, and believe in the interconnectedness of body, mind and spirit. I am interested in supporting you in healing wounds, coming home to your true self, detaching from old story lines and false identities. My intention is to create a safe, supportive atmosphere where acceptance and compassion play a role in the growth and healing process.

I provide individual therapy to adolescents and adults in a non-judgmental and down to earth environment. My goal is to create a safe space where clients feel empowered to set and reach goals, develop positive coping strategies, and build confidence. 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, emotional regulation, sensory processing disorders, PTSD, trauma and adoption/foster care.

Do you wish life would slow down so you can take a breath? Stuff has been piling up and now your relationships are strained, your social life isn't what you want, and you don’t even really know who you are. However things got to this point, you know you want life to be different and don't want to wait anymore. Many of my clients are hesitant to start therapy or have had trouble connecting with other therapists. I get it! Let's be real, vulnerability is scary as hell. Together we’ll discover or reconnect with your truest self, cultivate healthy habits, identify unhelpful patterns & gain tools to go through the changes of life.

Worry, Anxiety, Trauma, Depression, Grief, Overwhelming Feelings, Relationship Disasters... these are but a few of the issues that may lead someone to consider a professional who can support and assist you with your core concerns. I specialize in treating the human condition from a holistic perspective, always honoring the uniqueness of each individual and respecting their way of "being" in the world. Our aim together will be to explore and find revelations, resolutions,and solutions. Using a psychoanalytic approach, we will bring to light the driving forces behind the repetitive behaviors that tend to keep us attached to repeated outcomes.

For more than 20 years, I have provided therapy to individuals, couples and groups, as well as offering training, consultation and clinical supervision to individuals and community organizations. My work centers around bridging transitions, fostering personal growth and developing compassionate responses and strategies to address life's challenges. In addition to providing support and encouragement, I will challenge you to think critically about the choices you are making and to work toward overcoming the obstacles that may be keeping you from achieving your goals.

Welcome! Meaningful change and lasting healing happen through the co-creation of safe therapeutic spaces. Together, we can develop your capacity not only to feel better, but to be healthier. Understanding yourself is a powerful source of transformation and development. However, insight alone is not always enough to create psychological healing. I work with people to generate deep insight but also to create a new way of being and feeling in the world. For these purposes, I often incorporate both experiential and mind/brain/body therapies.

Our team of skilled therapists are trained to support you with a wide range of mental health challenges. We encourage you to reach out!

With a deep focus on groups and family relationships, I specialize in assisting individuals who face fears of abandonment and loss of control, which can manifest in eating disorders, anxiety, and mood and personality disorders. By championing a healing journey centered on compassionate exploration, I employ effective strategies to help regulate emotions, alleviate stress, and promote self-discovery. My aim is to empower you to embark on a transformative journey equipped with courage and resilience. Together, we will chart a course towards profound healing and personal growth.

New Client Openings for May 2024! I am dedicated to helping others find their own path to personal fulfillment. I believe each of us can expand on the ways we deal with stress and relationships. I'm committed to creating a warm, interactive and compassionate therapeutic environment and have experience treating issues of anxiety, depression, parenting, relational stress, life transitions and trauma. Post pandemic life has created so many new sources of pressure and hardship, while often weakening our supports and connections. I believe therapy is a comforting and effective way to focus on our self care and well being.

Together we can update this old programming that's been making your life harder than it needs to be and create a life with more peace, less struggle and a gentler inner dialogue.
