Therapists in Lynn, MA

I will work with you in the present to become aware of attitudes and behaviors that are self defeating leading you to feel distressed in some way or another in your life, whether it’s depression, anxiety, relationship issues, an eating disorder, addictions or some other life problem. When necessary we look at the circumstances in your childhood and past that lead you to create some of these attitudes and behaviors. After clearing these out, we will use your creativity and strength to create new attitudes and behaviors that are more satisfying and enlivening helping create the life you desire.

Forming a positive and interpersonal therapeutic relationship with each patient is fundamental to developing effective coping skills, fostering a deeper self-knowledge, and ultimately achieving a sustainable whole-self. It is of great importance to me, that the person seeking my services comes to believe in themselves and in their own potential for achieving wholeness, healing and strength. I utilize empathetic, supportive language and other therapeutic methods to enhance and actualize treatment success. I have been working effectively with patients for more than 15 years, creating a warm and naturally therapeutic environment.

*Not accepting new clients. No estoy aceptando clientes nueveos.* I am a bilingual, bicultural Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over twelve years of experience working with adults (21+) from a multitude of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. I believe that therapy is a process in which you have the opportunity to heal from painful life experiences, identify your inner strengths and acquire the tools needed to dismantle maladaptive coping mechanisms that may be holding you back. Together, we will work in a safe, nurturing environment to establish goals, heal your wounds and find the balance between body, mind, and spirit.
