Therapists in South Weymouth, MA

There are times in our life where we reach a point when we realize something may not be manageable anymore or has gotten bigger than we expected but you are here and you are taking the steps to implement change. Coming into a therapy session provides a safe space to explore this and challenge yourself to identify what is going on and how we can work together to accomplish that. We serve clients 16 years old and up.

Available virtually anywhere in Massachusetts, I understand the unique challenges, pressure, and stress experienced by those in first responder jobs, including police officers, firefighters, paramedics, military and veterans, hospital personnel, and other emergency services workers. Witnessing traumatic events can lead to anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and emotional support is crucial for your own well-being as well as your family. You have the power to not only manage these challenges with therapy but thrive in spite of them.

Feel lost, stuck, lonely? Having a hard time coping with a recent trauma? Going through a life transition? Open to a more holistic approach to therapy? Unlike regular talk therapy sessions, which may focus on surface issues and provide short term comfort, my holistic approach dives deeper for longer-term healing. My unique approach addresses the body, mind, and soul as they are all connected in the healing process.

I offer a safe and confidential space where you can begin or continue your journey to wellness, empowerment, self-acceptance and peace of mind.

Awakened Transformation Using Energy Psychology- I am thrilled to provide an alternative approach to the traditional route of therapy! Many of my clients are those who do not want to be put on medication, if they can avoid doing so, as well as wanting to get to the root of their issues rather than putting a band-aid on symptoms. People want to understand WHY. Using mind-body-spirit approaches to the healing journey, I investigate your symptoms using holistic tools & assessment, conversation, and teaching you how to listen to your intuition. Your body is speaking to you, and I will help you learn how to work with it to feel better!

We believe that emotional stability is the hallmark of success. It is no surprise that highly successful people dedicate substantial amount of time and effort to the their emotional wellbeing. Understanding the thoughts, feelings and response triangulation helps individuals overcome most mental and emotional distress.

Fortunately, that’s also where our secrets to success are hidden too. Let’s help you break the unhealthy pattern & build new ones

WHAT GOOD IS A THERAPY IF YOU CAN'T COMPLETELY TRUST YOUR THERAPIST? CONFIDENTIALITY MUST BE "CARVED IN STONE". There is an illusion of privacy that truly doesn't exist when using insurance for your therapy. Personal details and a "Clinical Diagnosis" labeling you with a MENTAL ILLNESS is entered into permanent files, and can be accessed far more easily than you realize. FOR YOU TO FEEL SAFE & AUTHENTIC IN YOUR THERAPY, I DO NOT TAKE INSURANCE, OR KEEP CLINICAL NOTES & HAVE NO "PAPER TRAIL". What I Do Have is a Deep Devoted Love for this Work, and Great Respect for your Very Personal Choices on Your Life's Journey.

I ‘ve worked with people trying to reignite their creativity, those seeking relief from panic attacks, depression or the impact of past trauma on present experience. those working with challenges in relationships & families, dealing with racial trauma or identity or navigating institutions & workplaces. My ideal client is someone who wants to feel seen and heard, who is curious & wants to suffer less, more fully enjoy their life & relationships and be empowered to make their unique contribution to the world. I particularly welcome BIPOC clients, mixed race as I am, the neuro-diverse, & those who seek to do good for others.

Are you wondering why you feel the way you feel? Are you noticing that your own thoughts, feelings, and actions are no longer serving you? Do you feel overwhelmed, depleted of energy, confused, lost?

The premise of all of my work is that everyone is doing the best they can at any given moment. . If you have any questions, please reach out. You have five seconds before your brain tries to talk you out of it! :)

You've sought me out for counseling because you experience a significant discrepancy in your life between how you feel and how you'd like to feel. You're seeking to have positive mental health, that is, to know yourself, to be yourself, to expand your capacity to care for yourself and others and your world, to maintain humility, and to maintain hope. You're aware of the fluctuating nature of your functionality: at times you function well, and at other times you don't function as well as you'd like to. You're aware that, at times, you have experienced distress, that is, difficult life moments. You're ready to create a better life.

If only I knew then what I know now about the mind-body connection; the integration of breathe, the power of intuition and the transformation that comes with stillness. I know what it feels like to want to crawl out of my own skin, to look in the rear-view mirror and to rush through miscellaneous tasks without real purpose. I am talking about the difference between living and existing. The difference between doing and being. You are not alone —- but you can’t do this by yourself because if you could, you would have by now.
