Therapists in Millbury, MA

March 2023: wait list for new private pay and Aetna clients. Are you looking for change but don’t know where to start? Let’s get to work! We can define and prioritize your short and long term goals, and develop steps to accomplish them. We will build on your strengths and experiences, while utilizing a combination of both traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), assertive communication skills, and holistic wellness approaches (mindfulness, breath practice, yoga) in order to address anxiety, trauma, stress management, time management, and relationship issues.

Have you recently felt overwhelmed with big changes in your life or about yourself, and just don't know where to go next? Have thoughts and feelings become too confusing and overwhelming to figure out alone? Are you looking for support in coping with stress, anxiety, or trauma? My passion is in helping you understand and address trauma, anxiety, adjustment through life transitions, self esteem, and finding your authentic self through many of life's challenges we face due to these stressors with teens and adults.

Perhaps you are an incredibly caring person who puts other people’s needs first. You enjoy giving your time and energy towards making others feel happy, and perhaps you’ve been playing on the sidelines in your own life. But, you secretly fear you won’t get love or respect back if you did not do so. So perhaps, you keep doing and giving and playing quietly. Truth is, this depletes you and leaves you not living the life you were truly meant to live. As head of household or business, you feel tired, stressed and perhaps not as happy as you’d like to be. And, you’ve neglected your own needs in mind, body and spirit for some time now.

I believe we all have the ability to make the changes we want to in our lives. At times, however, we may feel stuck, unmotivated, or unsure of how to move forward. Using a strengths based approach I enjoy supporting clients as they move through challenges to live their best and most authentic lives. I believe in client-directed therapy, meaning that you are in control. Goals are based on the client's expressed needs and concerns, and are reviewed and altered to make sure that together we are always working towards the best outcome.

Taking the first step to initiate change for yourself can be hard AND it can be a rejuvenating experience. In my work with individuals, I operate from a strength based, ecliptic approach helping you identify realistic goals for yourself while prioritizing your morals, values and overall health and wellness. Utilizing evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices and a HAES (health at every size) approach, I aim to provide you with the skills and mindset to walk through life confidently.

** Currently not accepting clients at this time, reach out for wait list ** I am offering telehealth sessions to allow individuals to receive services and support from the comfort of their own home, as well as in person Spring 2023. I believe the collaborative relationship between clinician and individual is a key factor in personal growth and success. I provide a safe and accepting environment in order to help others heal and adjust from trauma, loss and stress. My practice embodies a person centered approach that encourages individuals to achieve self empowerment and healing.

Everyday living is not without stressors. How we react to events or interact in relationships can be a struggle as well as puzzling. Why do we feel the way we do? Why do we continue to make the same mistakes over and over again? How can our perceptions be so different from others? How do early experiences impact our perceptions, feelings, and behaviors? I provide a safe, comforting environment for you to explore and reflect on your past and recent experiences, feelings, and relationships. My approach is to facilitate change based on your expressed needs and goals.

People start therapy for different reasons. Sometimes people come in to see me during a period of transition - starting or ending a relationship or school, moving to a new city, beginning a new job! Maybe you feel as though you're on a constant treadmill, always moving but never seeing anything change around you. I'll work with you to find what's getting in the way of you getting what you really want from your life.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face...we must do that which we think we cannot.-E. Roosevelt.
