Through out my long professional life in therapy and counseling I worked with adults, children (+10), couple and families. I worked with people dealing with different challenges, and always found that no matter how hopeless the situation might seem, and no matter how difficult the challenges might appear, people, most of them, can overcome negative feelings and experiences when they get the professional support they need and deserve.

There is a place for you here. Therapy in the heart of Westboro. Sometimes we need space to make sense of our experiences. Life transitions, such as parenting, relationship changes, profound loss, or the unexpected are a chance to pause, reflect and understand our experiences. I enjoy working with parents adjusting to parenthood, young adults figuring out their next steps, and couples navigating their relationship in parenthood. For some, spirituality is important and I am adept at holding space through this lens. This is a place to talk it through and together find different skills to manage and make sense of your world.

Who you are and who you can become are far greater than the problems, critical narratives, and the self-defeating patterns that can have a way of defining you. My goal is to support youth and young adults in moving forward in their lives by effectively addressing difficulties related to mental health, unresolved past or current relationship trauma and grief, persistent loneliness, excessive worry and overthinking, anger management, and navigating the complexities of early adulthood. I believe that therapy is most effective when it deeply respects and builds upon your own unique strengths, abilities, values, and past resourcefulness.

Navigating life can be difficult, especially when you’re in new territory. Feelings of depression or anxiety can spiral into more fears and doubts. Being a young adult brings all sorts of pressure, and most of us don’t get much education in how to make that transition. It’s common to cope by avoiding, using drugs or alcohol, or isolating. Fortunately, things can improve. Life may never be perfect, but you can learn new skills and effective ways of dealing with challenges. I work with teens and adults of all ages, and specialize in helping young adults and couples who want to feel more confident, accepted, and joyful in the world.

Do you find yourself over-thinking or worrying about the future? Does worry or negative thinking impact your sleep or relationships with others? Since the covid 19 pandemic, rates of depression and anxiety have increased given the significant challenges and changes faced throughout this time. You are not alone in feeling overwhelmed, stuck or lacking motivation. Give yourself a moment to recognize the many obstacles you have faced and the courage it takes to reach out for support.

15 years of experience, working with children and adults, taught me there is no one fit for all solutions.
Do you feel overwhelmed by events, feelings, people? Do you struggle with your daily tasks, interacting with others, and managing your emotions? Does it feel like you are in a repetitive loop, unable to break free, no matter how hard you try to get out? This situation might be draining and overwhelming to deal with alone. Maybe it is time to approach all these questions in a secure environment. Sharing your thoughts and feelings with a non-judgmental and compassionate person, able to walk with you on the path of self-discovery, might help you reach your full potential and self-accomplishment.
