Racial Identity Therapists in Sudbury, MA

I came to work as a therapist through my own experiences in therapy. These experiences guide my work and deeply inform how I show up as a therapist. I seek to create an environment in therapy where people can express themselves, heal from past harms and trauma, and connect with their purpose. I specialize in working with youth (ages 10 and up), families, young adults, and men across the spectrum of age. I also specialize in supporting people who have caused harm.

Stressful conditions may influence depression, anxiety, and other psychological challenges.

My approach enables clients to feel safe, understood, and hopeful in their journeys toward change while strengthening confidence, self-esteem, facilitating the development of effective coping and problem solving skills.

What is a life worth living for you? This is ultimately the question we will journey into. Our work might explore your ways of relating to the given "problem", reframe particular internalized narratives, educate you on neurobiological frameworks, and/or encourage you to draw upon your own unique heritage, hopes, and motivations toward your behavioral change and your preferred life. I hope to remind each person of the maxim of narrative therapy: "the problem is the problem; the person is not the problem" (White, 1998). So, what story would you like to write through your actions, values, and life?
