Therapists in Jamaica Plain, MA

Think you might be stuck with a narcissist? Maybe at first you thought this person was charming or misunderstood, but over time you noticed the relationship took a toll on your mental health. Your attempts to help or encourage this person haven’t worked either, and the idea of setting boundaries feels ineffective at best. Many people question whether narcissistic trauma is a real problem. It is. You might have wondered if the problem is you. It is not! Individual therapy can help you learn to identify narcissistic behavior, understand its impacts, and choose how you navigate these types of relationships.

I aim to create a space that encourages curiosity and the safety to share oneself as you want to be seen. I work with those who experience depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. I also work with individuals who have experienced trauma or challenging life transitions.

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.

As a queer Caribbean-Indigenous woman, I specialize in supporting individuals who are seeking to reclaim, integrate, and heal from traumatic and challenging life experiences. My work focuses on helping clients cultivate healthy relationships and navigate through intersectional identities and social structures. I am passionate about guiding individuals towards embracing multidimensional experiences that foster personal wellness.

For 29 years I have been helping people find ways to cope with stress, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I work with adults and seniors of many cultures, ethnicities, spiritual beliefs and sexual orientations to increase awareness/ mindfulness, develop strategies to manage emotions and thoughts, let go of limiting fears and beliefs, increase a sense of well-being, and experience the freedom to take positive action.

I am a South Asian-American psychotherapist with a public health background who specializes in perinatal mental health, trauma, and the life transitions related to pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting. I am particularly passionate about exploring how race, culture, cultural trauma, and identity influence our journeys into and through parenthood. As a therapist, I enjoy holding space for folks who identify as people of color, multi-racial, and/or as first- and second-generation immigrants as they navigate the transition to parenthood and throughout the parenting journey.

Starting therapy may bring up a lot of thoughts and feelings, and your decision to seek therapy shows a commitment to living your best life. I believe in my work that restoring relationships with ourselves and our loved ones can help navigate the difficult times we live in. Finding freedom from worry and depression is work, but you are not alone on this journey. You may also be exploring your sexual or gender identity and looking for additional support. Your curiosity and interest in exploring these issues will help you succeed in reaching your goals for your best life.

Many times what we learned to do as kids- to cope and manage - no longer serve us as adults. When these strategies are now getting in the way of our every day life and relationships it's time to regroup, work on what's coming up for us, and find new strategies that helps us move forward. I am here to support you to address your experiences, traumas, and challenges that come up in all aspects of your life. I am committed to anti-racism and am from the LGBTQIA+ community. Unfortunately, I am only taking individuals and families, not couples at this time.
