I provide individual and family therapy to individuals who are looking for help to cope with life's various twists and turns. I utilize an organic approach to gain an understanding of your specific life situations and stressors that are contributing to your current feelings. I use positive affirmations, strength identification and skill building to encourage you to reach your personal goals. We will work quickly to alleviate uncomfortable symptoms while we learn to identify triggers that may cause these feelings in order to focus on making long term changes that will help you to move forward through life.

My job is to help individuals and families navigate complex living situations. I do so by creating a safe place for individuals to explore their inner thoughts and actions, and guide them to better understand their roles and opportunities in the world. I specialize in working with the adolescent, college-aged and adult populations, and the challenges that come from it, particularly anxiety, academic stress, adjustment issues, relationship issues, depression and ADHD. *I have limited availability, please call and inquire about any openings*

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 18 years of experience working with diverse multi cultural communities, I am here to offer a safe space for you to explore personal issues that may get in the way of your life goals, dreams, relationships, personal and academic success. I want to learn more about you and how you define your personal strengths and manage challenging situations. I believe that YOU are much MORE than the challenges that may consume your life right now.

I am glad to support those struggling in today's strange climate, or those looking to explore themselves and increase health and wellness while quarantined. My approach to treatment is strength based and multimodal. I use a holistic approach that can incorporate discussion, art, movement and humor to explore issues. I work well with those who have had trouble connecting with therapists in the past and those who may be resistant to entering treatment.

*Individual Therapy Currently Full* I love to work with kids and adolescents and their families. I believe people don't have "problems" but rather "challenges" they learn to move through or re-frame. Together we learn new ways of doing things; new ways of looking at things; find a new path of our own choosing that feels better than the one we were on; relate to ourselves and others in a healthier way; learn to smile and laugh more; find the things we are good at doing; make a contribution; stress less; be who we are meant to be; and love who that person is!

As a therapist, I will create a safe and nurturing space where we can freely explore your hopes and aspirations, as well as whatever difficulties you are experiencing in life. You will be met without judgment and provided guidance as you make the changes you seek. As I help guide you toward long-lasting change and acceptance, you will further develop many of the strengths and qualities you bring with you. I tailor my therapy to you, and I promise to work as hard as you to get you to a place of happiness and healthfulness.

A DIFFERENT VIEW. Natick/Framingham. I believe therapy is a joint venture. It takes both of us to create expertise about your unique psychology and spirit, and explore how that self-knowledge calls you. I am typically very active with you, suggesting interventions, offering ideas, giving "homework" between sessions. I'm experienced with depression, anxiety, trauma, post-trauma, sexuality, loss, and the search for meaning in life. These days, I see myself not so much as a psychotherapist, but as a teacher in Eastern Philosophies, especially the Tao (see below). I may refer out if I think the clinical picture calls for a different therapy.

Are you a high achiever but under value yourself? Work hard and have objective success but feel something is missing, or that it's still not enough?

Therapy's success is equal to the work you put into it, come do the work!

If you are anxious, depressed, overwhelmed or experiencing panic attacks, and wish you could start enjoying your life, I can help.

I respect that you will know what suggestions to accept, and will help you to find the patience to try things a few ways if that is what it takes. I offer a supportive, caring environment where I will take the time to fully understand what you are struggling with so that together, we can find your strengths and change the patterns or situations that have been causing you to be unhappy.

I work with clients across the lifespan, providing comprehensive evaluations and therapy services. I conduct neuropsychological and psychological testing with children, adolescents and adults with a variety of cognitive, developmental and psychological difficulties. Through the evaluation process, I will provide you with answers about your or your child's diagnosis, suggest the best treatments and provide access to accommodations in school or on standardized tests. I am confident that you will walk away with not only a new understanding of your or your child's struggles but also increased confidence to address those struggles effectively.

I am feel very optimistic that people are able to change and create meaningful lives. I help my clients reach these goals. Voicing feelings and receiving support in a confidential, non-judgmental setting is essential. With me, my clients become more self-aware of emotional triggers, learn how their past affects their present, and is able to make positive changes. I help them cope with anxiety and depression, I work extensively with couples, resolve insomnia and sleep disorders and help athletes achieve peak sport performance. I also help clients experiencing loss, grief and bereavement.

If you're a woman ready to get to work on making changes in your life, I'm your girl. Sometimes it's really hard for us to ask for help-especially when you're strong & independent . Therapy is a great way to reach out, learn more about yourself, and grow through any challenges you might be facing. I help women through the transition of pregnancy & early parenting, and dealing with any postpartum changes. I also help women who want to change their relationship with food and their bodies. Clients also see me for managing anxiety & depression as well! In addition to in person services, I also offer online therapy in MA, CA, and AZ.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Registered Expressive Arts Therapist practicing in Wellesley, MA. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, life transitions, and behavioral patterns that may be holding you back from experiencing a meaningful and fulfilling life. My approach is eclectic and I draw on many different techniques to meet the needs of the individual or family I am working with.

I am not your typical therapist, and strive to always create that emotional connection that allows us to work through any issue as a team. Most of my clients have already tried traditional therapy, and haven't been able to engage in one way or the other. Many of my clients haven't felt heard or understood, and it is a goal of mine to make therapy accessible for all. My belief as a therapist is that everyone can benefit- and should benefit from the relationship they have with their therapist. My clients believe in person centered care- and feedback goes both ways. I provide a trauma informed environment where the client gets to lead.

Most of us do the best we can with the resources we have. Sometimes we think no one understands our worries & fears. If open to it, we want to work with a therapist when our usual ways of relating aren't helping & we feel stuck, anxious, angry or depressed. Therapy often helps provide insight into our strengths & internal resources we already have to help navigate challenging times. In sessions, I focus on working with clients to unlock this strength to steer their lives in the direction they want. I bring curiosity, warmth, respect, & empathy to my sessions.

I am here to offer my clients support and connection during this time of heightened anxiety, stress, and grief. I work with adults of all ages and backgrounds who struggle with anxiety and depression, life transitions, grief, and the effects of stress on their lives. While much of my experience has focused on supporting women in various stages of their lives, I seek to provide an inclusive, nonjudgmental, safe space for all clients to explore their inner lives and external stressors. I bring focus to client strengths, practicing self-compassion, and cultivating joy.

I specialize in helping individuals through various challenges in their lives, whether it be anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+, relationships, chronic health conditions, or some other difficult life issue. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or lost, and perhaps it is hard to be hopeful as you try to figure out the next steps in your life.
