Therapists in Boston, MA

I believe the first step to helping people with their unique challenges is to build a connection founded on compassion, collaboration, and respect. To me, the therapeutic relationship acts as the foundation of a successful treatment plan. My goal is to act as support and encouragement as you face challenges, heal, seek out positive change, or search for a deeper understanding of yourself. I'm a bilingual therapist and provide services in English or Spanish while utilizing a dynamic style of treatment that combines aspects of CBT, talk therapy, person-centered therapy, art, writing, goal setting, meditation, and more.

Something isn’t working. Sometimes nothing is working. Do you ever ask: “Is this what life comes down to?” Do you worry it’s too late to change, that mistakes, hurts, and injustices cannot be undone? Maybe worst are the times you feel the best option is to settle for the fleeting comfort of familiar ways because cold comfort is better than no comfort. I treat many people who have worked very hard in life but struggle privately with relationship issues, trauma, self-esteem, and the effects of complicated family histories. Some have tried therapy or self-help, but it wasn’t personalized enough, the right time, or the right approach.
