Whatever brought you here at this time, welcome. Life is unpredictable and just when we feel we have a grasp on our reality, it changes. It is normal to find yourself overwhelmed, anxious, or maybe even unable to identify what you’re feeling. Together we can work to give name to your emotions, identify what areas of your life are confusing or chaotic, and work toward achieving a better quality of life. I’m here to help build and develop your life ‘toolkit’ in a safe and honest space.

As an experienced psychotherapist, I know what a difference therapy makes in people's lives. I specialize in helping people feel better about themselves, their relationships, their lives. I enjoy helping clients overcome longstanding problems such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, confusion about what they want. Additionally, therapy can be enormously helpful to people coping with stressful situations such as divorce, loss, unemployment. Therapy is a time to work on what matters most. I strive to bring optimism, clarity and direction to that process.

My team and I help individuals and couples. Our ideal client is someone who's interested in both healing and growth, who is goal oriented, and knows that how we make sense of things is fundamental. The symptoms about which we suffer are also an invitation to remember what we couldn't handle so that we heal and grow. I'm best suited to treating you where you're stuck, be it physical (like chronic pain, auto-immune), mental (like anxiety), emotional (like depression), relational (partners, children, parents, people you work with), and spiritual (like alienation).

I like to work holistically and to integrate the worlds of psychotherapy and spirituality, so if you view your life as a spiritual journey and are encountering some psychological obstacles on that journey, I might be the right therapist for you. I work with people who have an already established meditation practice or I can help you find one that is a good fit. Issues that sometimes come up are old traumas, repeating relational patterns, and fear/doubt.

“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful parts of us.” Deciding to go to therapy isn’t the easiest thing to do but it can be helpful when wanting to discover our own beautiful parts. Everyone deserves the opportunity to be able to have the time and space to divulge into their lives and become the best person they can be.

I am a bilingual (Spanish) licensed social worker/ therapist for many decades. I feel honored to join you in your life journey wherever that may lead you. I believe strengthening your story of empowerment, resilence and recovery can take place when you take time to re-examine old stories, patterns and life experiences with another caring person. Together we can re-invent ourselves and surpass losses, trauma, hardships, discrimination and other life experiences. Let individual, couple or family therapy become a place of healing and growth.

Therapy is a place to get to know yourself better; a place where you don’t have to care for others; instead receiving care, attention and focus from an attentive therapist. Maybe you’re sick of the same arguments, patterns, or periods of depression or anxiety. . This is not quick or easy work and it requires trust and connection with a therapist who supports you without judgement. I work with clients to gain insight into their motivations and desires, supporting them on their path through life’s ups and downs.

After twelve years and five colleges and universities, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Bridgewater State College. I began to teach science to adolescent males who were committed to the Department of Youth Services and residing in a residential program. During a monthly staff meeting, I observed people meeting with the youth privately and I noticed a difference in the attitudes and behaviors in the youth after these sessions. Most of the youth appeared more relaxed and receptive to life demands and for the first time in my life I thought “Wow, I would like to do that.”

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
