Strength-Based Therapists in 01510

Everybody has times when they encounter roadblocks that get in the way of living your best life. Oftentimes these roadblocks come in the form of overwhelming thoughts and feelings. When these roadblocks become too much to overcome on your own, therapy can provide the time and space you need to find the right path forward.

Openings on Wednesdays at 2pm, 3pm and Thursdays at 4pm only. No evenings available. Taking BCBS. Anxiety and depression can be a daily struggle that feels isolating and overwhelming. I work with you to build a positive therapeutic relationship in order to find hope and learn ways to feel better. I work with adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and anger management. My goal is to help you feel more empowered and connected while learning to be kinder to yourself. We will work together to help you identify and build on your strengths and learn healthy strategies to manage life when it feels difficult.

Providing individual psychotherapy for clients in need. Also offering supervision for LCSWs who are working toward independent licensure. As human beings, we each deserve a virtuous, healthy quality of life. While the days, weeks, and months pass by it can be easy to lose touch with ourselves; our own individual needs.

I work with clients across the lifespan with many different needs. It is important to me that clients of all identities feel safe and respected in therapy. As a professional, I want to continue to work with clients who identify on the LGBTQ+ spectrum, have different cultural backgrounds, have different abilities, and of all body types. I support my clients in reaching their goals by working together and empowering them to take the next step! I strive to help my clients find solace and comfort, build knowledge of coping strategies, and grow to the person they want to be.

With 20 years’ experience, I have learned to meet you where you are in this journey. To assist you in adapting to change, manage symptoms that hinder your progress, and to help you improve your relationship with self and others. As a professional who is also a human being, my approach is warm and empathetic, while treatment is guided by a strong sense of ethics and a wealth of background knowledge and life experience.

*New clients, please use email for fastest reply.* Therapy should begin with establishing a trusting and therapeutic relationship, in a relaxing environment, where clients of all ages will feel comfortable, safe & understood (my dog Taffy is my 'co-therapist'!). Although everyone struggles at times during our lives, most of us still reeling from the past few years alone. I believe ALL people have hidden strengths (yes, you too!) that they can use and build upon, while also learning how their past history may still effect their thoughts, actions, and self esteem. Therapy is about insight, encouragement, support, and progress.

When you're in a season of your life that feels darker, lonelier or more painful, when you feel tired and overwhelmed, when you lack direction or energy, or when your relationships are suffering, it's easy to forget that you possess everything you need to grow and change. I believe that we each have the answers we need within us and the capacity to improve our circumstances, but that sometimes we get off course. I also believe that what we focus on gets bigger, so when we focus on the good and beautiful in life, the weeds get crowded out. This isn't just my personal belief - it's actually rooted in science!

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? Having trouble identifying ways to cope? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or feelings of worthlessness?

You do not have to face these difficulties alone. I am a dedicated pre-licensed mental health counselor passionate about helping individuals overcome life's challenges and promote change and healing.

I will work with you to understand the current issues and collaborate with you on a plan of action to create the change you are seeking. My approach is client centered with a focus on proven treatment models. We will build on your strengths and develop the skills you need to cope effectively.

Are you or your loved are feeling overwhelmed and struggling to process a significant health event? Perhaps you’ve been asked to make lifestyle changes as a result & don't know where to start.

Much of my experience is in health care supporting individuals, their caregivers and loved ones.
