Sexual Abuse Therapists in Osterville, MA

The past few years have been really tough! Did you feel like you had it all together & then the rug was pulled out from under you? Maybe you experienced trauma when you were younger & thought you had moved past it. Now you feel frustrated, isolated, & alone. Maybe you are feeling triggered by your kids, spouse, partner, parents, or friends. You love them, but the pandemic has caused you to want to take a month-long vacation from them! You have tried dealing with your anxiety, anger, stress, all on your own but you are struggling to stay afloat-yelling at loved ones, working too much.

Since 1984 I have had the privilege of helping people improve the quality of their lives. If you are clearly not leading a fulfilling and productive life, an indepth examination and reassessment of this current situation can lead to satisfying changes.

Have you been in talk therapy and it has NOT worked? Do you want to let go of shame, depression, and guilt? I am looking for people who want to change. The human body is energy. By living life, all kinds of experiences happen. Some of these are negative and traumatic. These occurrences get stuck in your energy field and affect you psychologically. Working with me you will remember memories, and incidents ( you thought you forgot), and together we weave the holes in your energy field and remove the blocks in your energy that are preventing growth and flow.

As women, we often do not prioritize self care. And what we think is "self care" might actually be "self soothing".

Are you feeling depressed, overwhelmed or anxious? Are you having trouble making decisions and moving forward with your life? I work with individuals to explore underlying issues and find solutions to your problems. Perhaps you are stressed and finding it difficult to engage in daily activities that were once simple.

If you are a victim of domestic violence, I have received training from the State of CT in working in this area.

Whether you are struggling with a loss, working through a life transition, challenged in a relationship, or wanting to change a pattern, it can be useful to have a compassionate, honest therapist helping you navigate.

These times of crisis provide opportunities to look at things differently and make new, more grounded choices. I love this work and am comfortable with anything that might come up.

My goal is to help you see yourself more clearly by helping you quiet the chatter in your mind, slow down and listen to that small voice inside that knows everything you need to know to have the life you want. Using traditional talking therapy, and combinations of meditation, art, writing and role playing, many people are able to carve out that route to the heart of the matter hidden inside. It's a wonderful journey and I'd love to go there with you.
