Therapists in Fitchburg, MA

Loss, failure, and separation are major root causes of many forms of suffering in life. But they are not always evident, we may be too young when live through them, or we may not feel their impact until long after an event. Sometimes they even travel through generations. As a psychotherapist, I have spent over 25 years helping people who suffered from a variety of emotional and relational problems created by one or a combination of these issues, ranging from basic unhappiness to unhealthy relationships, workplace conflicts, divorce and separations, parents struggling with their children, migration and forced separation, even trauma.

I am a psychologist with Cambridge Psychology Group with experience in treating adults and adolescents for a range of issues including adjustment to life stressors, relationship issues, other problems in daily living and more serious clinical problems such as disorders related to mood, anxiety, trauma, and personality. I have advanced training in evidence-based approaches including exposure and response prevention (ERP) for anxiety and OCD-related disorders, cognitive processing therapy (CPT) for trauma, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for treating emotion dysregulation, and self-destructive and life-threatening behaviors.

Clients come to therapy for a number of reasons, such as identity shifts, grief and loss, low self-esteem, immigration/acculturative stress, trauma, life transitions, relationship & family struggles, and spiritual crises. Whatever your pull to come to therapy, I acknowledge the courage it takes to participate in your healing. Through person-centered and feminist approaches, I collaborate with clients in the process of re-defining who they are that feels the most authentic to themselves. My clinical "toolbox" includes mindfulness, a trauma-informed lens, existentialism, diversity practices, and a nonjudgmental stance.

Do you ever come out a situation and find yourself questioning your emotional reactions? Do you ever find yourself playing mental gymnastics to avoid causing anyone discomfort only to then realize that you're utterly exhausted and have no spoons left for yourself? Maybe you're trying to make sense of your identity, navigate the world as BIPOC/queer/neurodiverse etc. while trying to simultaneously build healthy relationships, set boundaries, process past traumas, and exist in a capitalist society where your productivity is a measure of your validity (spoiler alert it's not; you're valid and your existence is more than enough).

Our unique life experiences influence how we relate to ourselves, and others. This is the lived lens through which we approach problems. We all have latent capabilities and skills to overcome challenges, but may find it hard to access them. It can be very helpful to speak with an objective person to gain insight and a better understanding of oneself. I work from an empowerment model, with a compassionate approach. I endeavor to build a therapeutic relationship founded on equality, trust and safety to achieve mutually agreed upon goals.

People often ask me, "What is the purpose of therapy?" I believe there are a few answers to that question. First, you come to therapy to defrost grief, unexpressed rage and other negative feelings, e.g. traumas, losses, betrayals. You also learn to re-parent yourself. Second, you come to have a better transition in your work or love life, or to improve your performance and personal relations. Finally, you get to share your dreams and goals in a safe environment, with no judgment, and to produce amazing action plans to manifest your best life ever.
