Self Esteem Therapists in Waterfront, Boston, MA

I have 25 years' experience working with diverse populations. During these years, I have had the pleasure of helping individuals navigate life transitions, adjustment to medical diagnoses, cope with caregiver stress, grief and loss concerns, depression, trauma, addiction, anxiety and enhance self-esteem.

Accepting new clients (morning & early afternoon availability- primarily telehealth). Limited availability for therapeutic nature walks in the Canton area (private pay only). If interested, please inquire! I have several years of clinical experience as a therapist and a coach.

I believe that good Supervision is a conduit for mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. Having worked with individuals, couples and families I have seen my clients grow and change in the most positive and rewarding ways. In my practice I work closely with people to identify the changes they want to make in their lives. We then focus on the strengths that have helped them thus far and the challenges that have held them back. Effective supervision brings deep understanding of oneself, builds strong self-esteem, and provides an emotional, mental, and spiritual foundation for a gratifying and prosperous Psychotherapy Practice.

I choose the skills that are most appropriate in meeting a client where he or she is at, which include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, supportive psychotherapy, trauma informed treatment, and spiritual counseling.

These issues many times lead to a decreased self-worth and is an area we will focus, by addressing self-esteem and self-worth issues, we help you build a foundation of confidence and self-empowerment.

My philosophy towards therapy has been first and foremost to honor the trust that you've placed in my position as guide and witness. Every client, every session, is unique, and I celebrate this in my regard for your innate wisdom and personal sovereignty. My practice is borne from an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to wellness and healing, and balances both Western scientific and Eastern holistic perspectives. I approach each session from a humanistic, person centered and informed approach. As a guide, I help you evolve toward a more empowering path to your life, while also focusing on short and long term goals.

Some days you feel on top of the world with everything you have accomplished thanks to your ambition and determination. Other days you feel a debilitating sense of anxiety and depression relating to your past trauma, everything left on your to-do list, or the general uncertainty of the future, and can’t seem to shake it off and relax. Perfectionism, anxiety, and trauma can make you feel like you are never enough - not smart enough, capable enough, strong enough, safe enough, loveable enough… the list goes on. This makes your everyday life feel confusing, your spirit heavier, and your future bleaker. You know something has to change.

With an integrative approach to Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, I work with clients in the context of several areas including: anxiety, communication, depression, relationship issues, early to mid-career, ADHD, work-related challenges, self-esteem, transitions, neurocognitive difficulties and grief. I endeavor to assist clients to develop practical tools to improve their daily lives, gain further self-awareness / insight, harness personal strengths and resilience, as well as, to build and foster strong relationships.

I bring an open, curious, and nonjudgmental stance to sessions, and am both compassionate and direct in my approach. I am a clinical psychologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, where I am the Clinical Director of Brain Health Services of a specialty program, and an Instructor in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

I provide individual therapy to adolescents and adults. I am known for creating a non-judgemental and down to earth environment, where we can work together to reach goals, manage stress and anxiety, create an empowering space and develop positive coping strategies. I pull from various clinical approaches, fine tuning my approach to each individual client and their situation. I have significant experience helping individuals manage and cope with attachment disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, transitional factors, social issues, emotional regulation, sensory processing disorders, PTSD, trauma and adoption/foster care.

I lead groups for Professionals in mental health who wish to carve out time for their own emotional care and needs; and for Young Adults, struggling with depression and anxiety around relationships and transitions . It is within the process of relationship-making (the engine that powers group), that aspects of self are revealed that hinder or enhance connecting with others. Group strives to help members feel SEEN from which emerges a sense of self worth and belonging. Rome was not built in a day, however, and neither is real and lasting change for those of us imbedded in old wars and old narratives no longer serving us.

Seeking therapy is a sign of personal strength, not of weakness. It takes awareness in our lives and courage to be able to reach out for help. Often people who engage in therapy are actually doing well in life, but would like to do better in one area or another. Working with a licensed therapist can provide the objective and professional feedback needed to assist in defining challenges, developing goals, and working toward positive change. Benefits of therapy may include improved and more satisfying relationships, increased energy and productivity, and feelings of well-being.
