Female Therapists in Cambridgeport, Cambridge, MA

I am a licensed mental health counselor who earned my bachelor and master's degrees at Lesley University. I have spent several years working in both school and community settings with children, teens, and young adults conducting both group and individual therapy. I approach counseling from a client centered and strengths based framework and draw from CBT and mindfulness based strategies. I see therapy as an opportunity for healing, growth, and developing insight about how people navigate their inner and outer worlds.

I am able to create a warm, comfortable space through active listening along with genuine curiosity to establish a feeling of ease within the therapeutic relationship. I aim to create a collaborative environment in which you are the expert of your own experiences.

Please note: I can't take insurance but I have a sliding scale - we will figure something out! - - Everyone has their own strengths and needs, children and adults alike. Sometimes the needs are overwhelming and the strengths are hard to find. Those are times when it helps to have someone who will listen, understand, support, validate, encourage, and help. I believe it's important to honor all emotions as valid and all needs as real. I also believe those needs don't have to define who you are, and that recognizing and accepting something as real - a loss, a child's behaviors - opens the way to start making positive changes.

Are you feeling stuck in your life and unsure of how to move forward? Maybe you’re burned out. Maybe you’re struggling in the isolation of traumatic memories. I am a holistic trauma-informed psychotherapist that is dedicated to treating your entire self. Together we will explore and unpack your deep emotional pains while becoming curious of their root cause. My hope is that we can develop a collaborative bond that feels impactful and reliable. You've already been through so much, I hope that you are able to feel a sense of pride in taking on this challenge.
