Female Therapists in Lexington, MA

Would you like to feel the same kindness and compassion you give others? Do you want to stop questioning your value and worth? Are you ready to find more meaning and purpose in your life? Are you looking to connect deeper with family and friends? My clients often struggle with perfectionism, low self-worth, anxiety, depression or medical issues (infertility, obesity, etc). Together we identify stuck points, repetitive problematic patterns, and other destructive behaviors that cause suffering in your life and serve as obstacles to your happiness and fulfillment. I help clients achieve self-awareness so they can make lasting changes.

In the past, I have enjoyed working with individuals with a history of traumatic experiences, substance use, interpersonal difficulties, and psychosis. I enjoy working on goals with clients that involve cognitive restructuring and skills building. Additionally, I enjoy short-term solution-focused goals.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Life Coach, and Reiki Master. I honor the courage and vulnerability it takes to reach out and I celebrate you for showing up for yourself. I offer virtual therapy, specializing in life transitions, anxiety, spirituality, self-esteem, and existential challenges. I’m also a mother and understand the demands this can place on us while also balancing and navigating relationships, work demands, as well as identity. As a Reiki Master, I'm very attuned to clients' energy during sessions and I’ll support you with connecting to your intuition and mind-body connection.

An example of an ideal client would be a mother who has recently become pregnant and is experiencing increased anxiety and depression symptoms.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, families, and adults around life transitions, grief, adult and child ADD/ADHD, depression, anxiety, and stress.

My ideal client would be new to therapy, though motivated to change. I am aware of the challenges that come with seeking therapy and want to be a support to those who are hesitant with the process. Ideally, I would like a client who is self-aware, receptive to feedback, and willing to hold themselves accountable.

My ideal client is prepared to initiate changes in their life to promote wellness. They are prepared to process internal and external contributors to their mood, discuss options for improvement, and practice healthier skills that will assist in achieving their personal goals. My ideal client is internally motivated and desires emotional balance from concerns such as anxiety, depression, impaired self-esteem, trauma, and interpersonal conflict. They arrive to treatment with goals in mind, and will actively work to experience relief of distressing symptoms.

My psychology practice is focused on positive habit change, helping you build new habits and get rid of old ones that stand in the way of your goals and dreams. With support and guidance, you can learn the skills needed to lose weight, break dependence on alcohol and other substances, overcome procrastination, and develop better self-care, financial discipline, organization skills, and health habits. While making changes can be challenging, maintaining positive change is even harder. I can help you maintain motivation and focus to make positive changes permanent. You really can keep the change!

My ideal client is someone who struggles with depression, anxiety, grief, lack of confidence, stress, and feeling overwhelmed.

Your life is a constant juggle, a never-ending to-do list. College, work, family, & unexpected life shifts—your plate is full to the brim. Sometimes, it feels like you're drowning in responsibilities. The weight of it all can be suffocating, leaving you utterly exhausted. You've become a master at putting others' needs first, but who's taking care of you? You keep telling yourself, "It'll be okay," while pushing down the mounting pressure, but deep inside, you're struggling. You wear a brave face but you long for a moment to pause, to be heard, to acknowledge that it's okay to not be okay.

My ideal client is open and receptive to change, willing to address the past, and ready to heal forward. They are persistent and committed to understanding healing as a journey.
