Therapists in Auburn, MA

Are you finding yourselves falling into the same arguments over and over again? Do you attempt to avoid conflict by walking on eggshells, isolating from each other, or not talking about what needs to be addressed until another “blow-up” happens? Even when you both are in the same space, does it feel like you're miles apart? Are you both feeling lonely, frustrated, and really missing each other? I help couples just like you increase connection, intimacy, and directly communicate with each other about what truly matters.

Perhaps you are an incredibly caring person who puts other people’s needs first. You enjoy giving your time and energy towards making others feel happy, and perhaps you’ve been playing on the sidelines in your own life. But, you secretly fear you won’t get love or respect back if you did not do so. So perhaps, you keep doing and giving and playing quietly. Truth is, this depletes you and leaves you not living the life you were truly meant to live. As head of household or business, you feel tired, stressed and perhaps not as happy as you’d like to be. And, you’ve neglected your own needs in mind, body and spirit for some time now.

Life often throws curveballs and learning new ways to respond to stress can be one of the most important things we can do. I enjoy building relationships and watching others develop the skills they need to successfully overcome their challenges in life. Therapeutic work can be difficult, but I've found that a good sense of humor can go a long way.

Stress management is a goal for many of us. Whether your stress is related to challenges in intimate relationships, parenting, or a traumatic event, together we will work to enhance your competence in identifying causes of stress in your life, recognizing how you experience stress, and practicing self-regulation strategies.

I work with adults across the lifespan who are navigating the variety of unique challenges that life presents–from depression and anxiety, to major life transitions, to serious health concerns and grief. With a background in healthcare (having worked in emergency, critical care, and hospice settings for more than 10 years), I have a particular passion for working with clients facing life challenges at the intersection of physical and mental health, whether that be coping with your own physical and/or mental illness, being a caregiver, dealing with stress and burnout, or grieving a loss.

Do you ever feel like all you can do is throw your arms up in the air? Do you just want to feel like a whole person again? Whether it is work, school, finances, relationships, children or some other source of stress, an excellent way to get back on confident feet is to work with a skilled clinician such as myself. Therapy can help build coping skills to manage life challenges, gain skills to redirect misguided or distorted thoughts and process emotions in order to have a better understanding of personal needs and how to meet them.

I believe in therapy YOU are the Expert of YOU and I am here to provide you the tools, skills and resources to help achieve your goals. The Dictionary defines the word CRISIS as; “a time when a difficult or important decision must be made.” That is where therapy comes in. We all go though some type of crisis in our life and having support to work through and handle that crisis makes the process that much easier. My job as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor is to provide a safe space to help you explore yourself, develop new perspectives, and guide you through the crisis you may face in your life.

"Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time" - Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Change will look different for everyone, especially depending on the goals you have set for yourself. Sometimes, the realization that there are other possibilities (and that hope for a better future can even exist) is the very first step. Maybe you have realized that you are ready to explore your potential and to develop more insight into how you are engaging with the world around you. I would be honored to guide you on this journey to increase clarity, self-awareness, and empowerment.

Hello! I have a variety of experience treating adolescents and adults with anxiety, depression, PTSD, phobias, panic and other mood disorders using a solution-focused, goal-oriented approach. I believe in treating people as people, and every individual brings a unique skill-set to the table that we can tap into in order to make progress and achieve set goals. I make sure that every client has access to non-judgmental space to explore underlying issues as well as tackle every day concerns and set weekly-goals. No concern is too small and no issue is beyond treatment.

Currently Accepting New Clients: I am a Bilingual Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who speaks both English and my native language of French Creole. “If you’re always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” Normalcy is only judged by ourselves and within ourselves.

Life is full of seasons. Some seasons are more turbulent than others. Do you find that you’re losing sleep, or worrying more than usual? Maybe your usual hobbies have taken a backseat, or you’re spending more time alone. You may be struggling with other health issues, or have started ignoring them. Perhaps you've started using substances more often than you'd like to. Or you just don’t understand why no one “gets” you and you wish someone would just try!

Life is full of challenges: from relationships, families, friendships, to school and employment, to general hardships and life stressors. Traumatic experiences, physical and mental health challenges, discrimination, financial strains, etc., can further impact our capacity to live our desired lives. Increasing your ability to understand and work with your unique story can bring you increased happiness, hope, and rewards. My role is to help you or your loved one find the way to a better today through self reflection and understanding, building on present strengths, and developing new ones.

~Accepting new clients for daytime hours only. Please Email.~ The most important thing to me is helping a client reach individualized goals and balance of clinical, emotional and personal goals in life. I pride myself in helping people to trust and express their mind, body and soul for positive changes and growth. The biggest changes sometimes can happen by realistically changing a few simple behaviors, thoughts, and/or habits. My goal is to help the growth process along in a way that works with one's current strengths and hopes.

Or are you struggling with feeling overwhelmed and out of control during pregnancy or after having your baby? If you found yourself nodding in agreement to any of those questions, I hope that you will reach out to start your own healing.
