Therapists in Needham, MA

I help adults gain control over their anxiety and improve their quality of life. Are you feeling anxious or nervous? Do you find yourself feeling stuck, dissatisfied, or unhappy because you can't stop over-thinking or worrying? Would your relationships, career, or academics greatly improve if you could manage your anxiety? Does your anxiety ever cause you to feel like the walls are closing in, like your heart is beating out of your chest, or like you can’t catch your breath? If so, you’re not alone. Anxiety can be overwhelming but it doesn’t have to limit your life.

I am a licensed psychologist with training and experience providing psychotherapy primarily to adult clients. My philosophy is that the change you are seeking is possible, and through education, collaboration, and thoughtful treatment goals everyone is capable of finding that change. When meeting with me, you can expect to experience a supportive and collaborative relationship that emphasizes respect for your autonomy, acceptance, and compassion as we develop goals for change.

Is your experience with pregnancy, postpartum, or parenting not going as you expected it might? Instead of joy, are you having feelings of anxiety, sadness, overwhelm, stress, worry, and/or grief? Though these experiences are completely normal to have, they do not have to stay that way. If you’re struggling with fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum, the transition to parenthood, or being a parent, I'm here to connect.

Life does not come with an instruction manual. It can be messy, painful, overwhelming, difficult, and downright exhausting. But I believe that change is always possible. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationships, motivation, adapting to change, or just the stress of day to day living then therapy can help. Therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, therefore it is important to find a therapist that meets your specific needs. I provide a welcoming and safe environment to help clients define goals, identify strengths, and make positive changes.

I am an experienced Social Worker who has worked in a variety of settings over the last 13 years. I offer supportive psychotherapy to adolescent and adult clients. Most of my practice has been focused on working with adolescents, young adults, adults and families. I am a strengths based clinician who meets clients where they are in life and provides tools on how to continue moving forward. I offer a calm and engaging presence where I listen to my clients. Clients in my practice are looking to gain perspective with regards to their challenge, improve relationships, reflect and make decisions.

Whether managing short-term or long-term stress, I value making a space for clients to take a moment to stop, step back from what they're doing and take a look from the outside. In a comfortable space with a supportive therapeutic relationship, clients can best understand themselves and disentangle the challenges of daily life. With that understanding, I believe in helping clients identify what defines them as an individual, and how to best fulfill the things in life that are important to them. I also value awareness of identities relating to culture, ethnicity, gender and sex, and how they affect clients' values and goals.

I meet with people to discuss issues related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief and LGBT topics. I have a special interest in providing support through the uncertainty of a medical diagnosis, treatment, and end-of-life. I also walk beside people as they cope with grief and bereavement.

My clients often seek therapy when they are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or burnt out. They are amidst a transition — starting college, beginning or ending a relationship, changing jobs, or becoming a parent. Others are feeling stuck and need support navigating friendships, partnerships, family dynamics, and careers. I believe that effective therapy happens when the client and therapist have an authentic, trusting relationship, and the client is invested in their healing. There is no one size fits all approach to therapy, and I strive to create a space that meets your unique needs using curiosity, empathy, and humor.

Making the decision to begin psychotherapy and finding the right therapist is not easy. Moreover, trusting your instinct and taking that first step takes a lot of courage

The road to finding peace of mind and a clear vision for one's life can be difficult to navigate. Acknowledging that you desire change is often the first step towards clarity. Many then find that they need further guidance, which is what has likely brought you here. I believe it is important for my clients to recognize and then use their strengths, past successes, supportive relationships (including the therapeutic one) and own hopes to obtain whatever goal they set forth. Moving forward I hope to build a strong and supportive therapeutic relationship which we can use toward a self-fulfilling and clear future.
