Therapists in Somerville, MA

Whether predicted or unexpected, change can be some of the most difficult territory to navigate alone. Getting to the other side of a life transition tends to include addressing fears, grieving losses, and exploring and integrating new identities. In my practice, I provide a caring, non-judgmental place for clients to understand themselves better, process difficult feelings, change painful habits, and build a more satisfying life. Together we will figure out what it is you need in order to regain your balance and sense of freedom.

My clients come to me with a broad range of goals. Often they have concerns about relationships, meaning, or their place in the world, and these can be reflected in feelings of anxiety or sadness. Sometimes my clients come with a feeling that something in their life is not quite right, but lack clarity as to what that is, or what they really want.

I work with clients who are eager to learn about themselves and how to achieve authentic joy and happiness in their lives but are feeling stuck on how to get there. I work with clients feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, and pandemic burnout. I offer college student support as well as for those dealing with big life transitions or wanting to learn more about how to manage their important relationships. I have a heart for new moms, parents, as well as individuals struggling with anxiety or depression. I have a true passion for adolescents and adults as they discover who they are and what is important to them as individuals.

Effective therapy creates meaningful, lasting, joyful change. As your therapist I can help you resolve the inner and outer conflicts that create pain and exhaustion. Life brings unchosen experiences. Sometimes we feel hurt, scared, or deeply alone. Sometimes what happens seems too big to manage. For 25+ years I have had the privilege of helping people learn to live as their "best self," able to manage their moods, thoughts and situations with compassion and skill, to make changes to reach their goals, and to find happiness. I have also had the honor of helping couples and families move from hurtful interactions to healthy loving relationships.

As you navigate change, you may feel challenged by internal conflict, uncertainty, and very little clarity. Despite the challenge, you are seeking solutions and a different way to be. You are ready for opportunities and a shift to express the best of who you are. You don’t want a life resigned to painful and stressful transitions driven by chaos and dread. You can direct the flow of transitions in your life, and with coaching, you will move with ease and begin to make different choices.

I am a queer therapist working to bring collective liberation through my therapy practice. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, loss, oppression, life transitions, or difficult relationships, I will help you explore your inner world, navigate the challenges in your life, and learn skills and tools to help you heal.

You have taken the first step in the healing journey, and that is worth celebrating! As a therapist, I will willingly walk alongside you in that journey and create a safe space where all emotions are welcome. I will both listen mindfully and compassionately, and teach you skills to help you master your feelings and behaviors. Together we can help you craft your version of a good life.

I invite couples, adolescents and adults to identify strengths, acknowledge challenges and develop strategies to solve a range of problems. We can explore ways to save and enhance your relationship. In the first session, I teach tools that you can use immediately to enhance your partnership, open the lines of communication and reconnect as a couple. If you are an overwhelmed parent, I can help you reach out to your teen by employing techniques that can be used in the moment. My professional experience encompasses coping with anxiety, managing chronic illness, grieving losses and achieving balance for an enriched life.

Therapy provides a safe environment to work on the issues and situations that might be hindering your ability to function as you want to. Every client is different, and my goal is to help you feel more able to identify your specific challenges and develop the skills and strategies to manage them. I rely on a strengths perspective and draw predominately from CBT, ACT, and psychodynamic modalities.

I am passionate about supporting my clients to feel congruent internally, so they can further understand and communicate their needs externally. I often utilize different strategies (of client’s choice), such as drawing, Zen tangle, meditation, body scan, dance/movement, to assist clients to have a better understanding of “what’s going on”. I worked with children, adolescents, and their families to overcome struggles around depression, anxiety, gender identity, emotion regulation and expression, dysfunctional family communication, parenting skills, traumas, and acculturation difficulties.

I can help you develop a plan to implement positive changes for the quality of life you deserve.
