Therapists in West Wareham, MA

As a practicing LICSW I have a passion for providing ethical and collaborative care, bringing a variety of clinical experiences to my work. I believe strongly in developing strong therapeutic relationships with my clients so we can work together on their own individualized treatment goals. I engage and pursue working with individuals, couples, children, parents, and families through a solution-focused model of care, that incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing.

I am looking forward to working with clients who are self-aware or interested in learning how to be more open to building up their self-interest. I'm happy to help clients recognize their struggles and the importance of seeking support. I am seeking clients who are motivated to improve their lives and understand that therapy and a willingness to change can lead to growth and improvement in their mental health. With these foundations in place, we can develop clear goals centered around reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health issues.

With over six years of clinical experience, I specialize in serving diverse communities, including adults, children, and families. Holding a PsyD in Clinical Psychology and a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from William James College, I've honed my skills at well-known Boston agencies, such as Commonwealth Mental Health and Wellness Center, Harvard Street Neighborhood Health Center, and the Brenner Center. I draw from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy, allowing me to offer customized support to individuals from various cultural backgrounds.

Spring 2024 - Accepting New Clients! With life becoming increasingly demanding, it can feel like we are always battling on a new frontier. We do not, however, have to power through it alone! Whether it’s with relationships, family, jobs, college, new cultural environments or even ourselves, I aim to support my clients with recognizing and managing the emotional impact that life’s torrent of changes has on us all. My therapeutic approach is to create an accepting relationship so sessions can be a comfortable and judgment free zone.

My ideal clients are interested in improving their self awareness of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I treat any of the following issues: depression, anxiety, anger, substance abuse, relationship issues, sexual behaviors, trauma, domestic violence, low self-esteem, eating disorders, attention deficit difficulties, autism, schizophrenia, stress management, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, child behavior and attitude problems, school behavior, low motivation, weight loss, quitting smoking, grief and loss of a loved one, divorce, parenting issues, co-dependency, pain management, social skills development, bi-polar disorder, abusive family situations, work problems, shame/inappropriate guilt, and negative thinking but treat many more issues.

Finding the right "fit" for therapy is one of the most important tasks for a client. Therapy that is grounded in a positive therapeutic relationship works. I strive to help build this type of relationship with clients.

Do you feel depressed, hopeless, or anxious most of the time? Are you feeling overwhelmed with simple tasks in life? Are you wondering if you have what it takes to tackle life transitions? Do you need guidance in deciding what path you should take? Have you experienced suicidal ideation? You are not alone. At some time in our lives, we face difficult situations that seem to be impossible to overcome. True transformational healing occurs holistically through physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual balance. There’s not a one size fits all technique

I believe that peace of mind is possible—for individuals, couples, and their loved ones—even after every other option has failed.

 In my work, I help young adults and adults who are experiencing various difficulties in their lives, including stress, depression, anxiety, family conflicts, and grief.

This includes being able to have back and forth conversation around ways to achieve that goal, as well as have the more difficult conversations when it comes to road blocks and the occasional self sabotaging behavior. I will always be honest in my assessments, and thoughts, and my hope would be that my client is as well.
