Expressive Arts Therapists in Arlington, MA

I like to provide clients with practical solutions they can utilize in their day to day lives to help them better manage their emotions in order to achieve more balance and harmony within themselves, and with others. I strive to create a comfortable, non-judgmental environment where clients feel both supported and respected. The therapeutic relationship is a partnership in which we work together towards goals that feel both realistic and manageable. I work collaboratively with clients helping them understand patterns of behavior and thinking, through a variety of approaches including psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

New Client & Reduced Fee Availability! You are unique, and how you show up for yourself should be, too! I provide psychotherapy without insurance involvement, personal consultation, and free resource leads for adults interested in personal growth/development. I enjoy working with creatives, cycle breakers, mourners, parents, and individuals exploring neurodiversity (diagnosed-self-identified-suspecting). Individuals who contact me are often ready for change and interested in building more compassionate relationships with themselves/ others while exploring new boundaries with the systems that are oppressive or pathologizing.

Many of us benefit from having a safe space where we can regularly express ourselves. For 15 years I have provided strengths-based support in a variety of settings, including Cornell University, Boston University's affiliated Health Center, and New York University. My passion is to share Integrative, Experiential, and Contemplative methodologies. I help individuals with interrupting unhelpful habit patterns. We may address themes such as Relationships, Interpersonal Dynamics, Neurodiversity, Traumatic Responses, Anxiety-related issues. Licensed in MA and NY. Bilingual in Portuguese/English and semi-fluent in Spanish.

I love working with people to explore ways to overcome challenges in life together. Many of my clients struggle with managing depression, anxiety, gender identity, emotion regulation and expression, dysfunctional family communication, traumatic experiences, as well as acculturation difficulties (you know, having trouble to "fit in" a new culture or a new environment). As many wise people said; if you are wonder about having a therapist, you should get one (me or someone else)!

In my practice, I often meet with adults, adolescents, families, and couples who struggle with their feelings, partner or family relationships, finding their place in the society, or just feeling too overwhelmed to deal with everyday life. Inability to cope with these kind of issues over a period of time often results in depression, anxiety or another mental disorder that disrupts healthy lives.

There are many reasons people seek out therapy. For some, it may be to find clarity, discover ways to ease anxiety, improve mood or functioning, or process challenging life experiences or trauma. Seeking help and support is the first courageous step towards a more empowered sense of self.

I approach therapy as a collaborative experience; I will work with you to figure out what you need and how I can support you, while encouraging you to recognize and make use of your strengths. It's very important to me to build trusting, supportive therapeutic relationships and to provide a safe space where you can feel seen, understood and accepted. I work with an open mind, a sense of humor, and a creative, body-oriented approach. Mindfulness, movement, art, writing, drama and play can be used during our sessions to help promote self-expression and self-exploration. I hope you find what you need in your search!

I see therapy as an opportunity to discover your own resilience and inner ability to heal and grow. It is my goal to give you therapeutic tools and coping skills to empower yourself with your unique strengths in your life journey. I hold space for you to engage with your mental health in an integrative way in line with your values, and I invite exploration of existential or spiritual themes in therapy. I enjoy working with adults, older adults, and individuals with disabilities, and I welcome the opportunity to work clients from different backgrounds.
