Self Esteem Therapists in Newton, MA

Are you burdened by worrisome thoughts, feelings or behaviors? Are you entangled in relationship patterns that trouble you and hold you back? Therapy can provide a safe, collaborative space to share and examine your most sensitive problems. Together we can think deeply about how you've come to be who you are, including how you tend to view yourself and relate to others. My approach is compassionate and genuine, gently challenging, and sometimes humorous. Over time my patients find that change becomes possible and there is opportunity for new choices and new beginnings.

Over the past 20 years I have learned that my clients come to therapy to be heard, understood, and to make sense of the complicated issues and relationships in their lives. People begin therapy for many reasons; feeling stuck, overwhelmed,confused or consumed with anxiety and depression. Couples come to therapy to improve their communication, to increase their co-parenting skills, or to enhance their emotional and physical intimacy. A good psychotherapy relationship can improve your feeling of well-being. It can be helpful during periods of transition and provide a safe place to explore past traumas or recent losses.

I work with adolescent girls and young women (15-25) with a specialization in self esteem , anxiety and depression. Through my 18 years as a therapist, I have come to believe that every challenge or trauma we face in our life is an opportunity for healing. Whether you are wanting a safe space to reflect on day to day challenges (friendships, dating, adjusting to college) or are looking to learn coping skills for managing overwhelming feelings, I am here to help. I don't see a therapist as someone there to "fix" a person (because people are not broken) but as someone to help guide you back to your internal resiliency + intuition.

Making the decision to begin psychotherapy and finding the right therapist is not easy. Moreover, trusting your instinct and taking that first step takes a lot of courage

The decision to begin therapy, with all of it’s exciting possibilities for growth, is often made during a complicated or difficult time. I approach therapy from a solution focused lens.

We will work together to recognize your strengths, develop self-esteem, and strengthen relationships. Through a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapies we will create change.

As this occurs, new options become available for living a more engaged and satisfying life.

If you have difficulty with professional or academic advancement, establishing or sustaining intimate relationships-if habitual behavioral patterns (i.e. inhibitions, anxiety, impulsiveness, lack of assertion or self-esteem) are interfering with achieving your goals, speaking with a therapist can help you discover why.

I see adults in weekly psychotherapy and multiple sessions per week are available to individuals interested in engaging in a deeper therapeutic dialogue.

I am accepting new clients! Life's journey can be full of crisis, loss, grief and trauma. These experiences activate fear in the primal brain, alter patterns of behavior, limit ones perception, lead to relationship issues, low self-esteem and addictions. If these problems are left unresolved, they can lead to physical and mental health problems as well as a weakened spirit, affecting ones core vitality for life. My spiritual approach provides clients with a safe, nurturing and compassionate environment where trust is easily built within the therapeutic relationship so that healing can take place.

I am passionate about working with children and families to increase their happiness and quality of life.

Helping your teen to feel comfortable and seen is my priority. I believe that true growth cannot happen outside of a warm, safe relationship. There is so much happening developmentally for teens and having a judgement-free space to slow down, unpack thoughts/feelings and gain clarity/awareness can lead to immense empowerment and growth for young people.
