Existential Therapists in Boston, MA

If only I knew then what I know now about the mind-body connection; the integration of breathe, the power of intuition and the transformation that comes with stillness. I know what it feels like to want to crawl out of my own skin, to look in the rear-view mirror and to rush through miscellaneous tasks without real purpose. I am talking about the difference between living and existing. The difference between doing and being.

In my practice, by face to face sessions or by using online Telehealth confidential therapy, I work with clients to feel comfortable and to form a bond, based on trust, that will foster a relaxed positive therapeutic interaction.

Life can be challenging, especially when feelings of pain, confusion, sadness, and anxiety seem to hold us back.

Most of our struggles are relational in nature. As a relationship expert, I will guide you toward healing your relational wounds; to step into the self-actualized, meaningful, joyful life you dream of. We all sustain traumas which shape our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world. When we understand our protective strategies we can then update our narratives, unburden our traumatized parts, heal attachment wounds, and make room to relate through our highest self. We can learn new skills in communication, somatic regulation, mindfulness, self-awareness, and more fully build the life which best serves our continual growth.

Are you seeking support with someone who gets and affirms your radical beliefs, queerness, neurodivergence, or creative mind? As a mental health clinician with a master's degree in music psychotherapy, my therapy practice aligns with my personal values of anti-capitalism, anti-racism, anti-zionism, the power of queerness, neurodivergence, and living unconventionally.  ​I aim to support clients with a radical, holistic and humanistic perspective. My approach to therapy is different than the norm, because we are living in abnormal times.  I believe that we need support that reflects our authentic selves and our realities.

There is a proverb, “If you have come to help me, then go away. If you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together. " I am here to work collaboratively with you to get you where you want to be. I assume that you are the expert on your own life while also providing direct ideas, feedback, and thoughts. I especially enjoy working with couples, families, and queer young people to explore which parts of "the script" we're given for life and love are, or are not, working for you and how we can rewrite the script so that you can live the life you choose, not the one chosen for you.
