Women's Issues Therapists in Oxford, MA

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.

Are you a busy woman or a helping professional who is burning out? Do you prefer to be virtual so that you can seek services in the privacy of your own home or office? Most of my clients are high-functioning women who are no longer willing to tolerate a lukewarm life. Many express that they are feeling depleted, stressed, and stuck in patterns detrimental to their health and overall well-being. They are ready to break free from those dysfunctional patterns and are looking for an experienced mentor and guide to help them. They desire to cultivate self-love, and self-mastery and to feel empowered to create lives they love.

And still, you keep moving forward somehow. You’ve heard the sayings: you can’t pour from an empty cup, or you need to put your own mask on first.
