Family Therapy in Taunton, MA

My approach to therapy is person centered! I believe that building a strong therapeutic alliance, creating a judgment free environment, and that the ability to be empathic are all equally important regarding the therapeutic process. I apply an eclectic mix of individually tailored techniques and strategies in which the aim is to foster people’s increased functioning and optimal potential. Drawing from years of experience working as a clinical therapist, I have gained a comfortable grasp on working with multiple diagnoses as well as modalities including individual, couples, family, and group counseling.

I provide individual therapy to assist adults in gaining insight and increased coping abilities that are suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, self image and relationship issues as well as major life transitions( such career, relationship transitions , and first time parents). I enjoy processing / validating and skills based work, incorporating Solution Focused Therapy, DBT, CBT, and ACT and Motivational Interviewing.

Asking for help can be very difficult. It takes great courage to acknowledge one’s suffering. I believe it is extremely important to focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship. I will help you develop tools to manage life’s adversities and become the best version of yourself! It is important to remember that each generation faces their own challenges. I have experience working with children, adolescents and young adults who are struggling with anxiety, sadness, anger, depression, or self -esteem related issues. I have extensive training and background working with youth who have experienced trauma.

Many of us face daily challenges in work, family, school and careers. When thinking about engaging in counseling, it is always good to think about the goals one wants to achieve along with the purpose of being in counseling. Investing in your own self and being able to externalize your thoughts and feelings is something that I can help you achieve. I feel that my education and work experience along with being a former high school and collegiate athlete will allow me to help you achieve your goals.

I am currently accepting new clients at my East Taunton home office. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma and general life changes. I currently work with individuals and couples, and no longer accept clients under 18 years old.

I use interventions such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (TF-CBT), mindfulness, CBT, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

I begin with what you see as the reason you are seeking help, such as depression, anxiety, low self esteem, stress, abuse, work, relationship issues, addictions, etc. From that starting point I help you deepen your understanding of yourself and your situation, make sense of what's going on, find good strategies and solutions. Addictions, including compulsive gambling, is my specialty but I have experience in a general practice working with a wide range of issues.
