Chronic Pain Therapists in Cambridge, MA
Life can be difficult and overwhelming. All of us have times when we struggle and feel alone or unclear about what to do. Entering into a therapeutic relationship is a courageous and powerful way to get unstuck and find a path forward. Since 1991, I have enjoyed working with adults and adolescents who come to counseling with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and chronic stress. I utilize both traditional and innovative therapeutic approaches based on your unique preferences and needs.

Life can be hard – it brings us times of feeling alone, scared, sad, ashamed, and uncertain. Therapy can provide us with more choices and more control when life becomes hard. Working together, we will create a safe, affirming, collaborative space where you can heal and grow. For individuals, this means exploring the story of your life so far and considering what would help you move towards the life you would like to be leading. For couples, this means aiding you to meet the challenges in your relationship in new ways and helping you to experience deeper connection, clarity, and joy.

Please Email to reach me. I specialize in helping those living with marginalized identities (BIPOC, LGBTQIA, immigrants) and ready to make lasting changes. Perfection, anxiety, grief/loss, complex trauma, and chronic medical conditions can leaving you feeling overwhelmed and stuck.

I also work with caregivers and healthcare providers (doctors, therapists) feeling burnt out. Many come to therapy to deal with unhealthy patterns and leave the session with deepened awareness, clarity, and hopefulness.

You want to feel better and do better in your life, and now, perhaps more than ever, you need someone – someone REALLY helpful – “in your corner” to help you turn things around. I’m willing and able to do just that. Together, we can do this: I use a range of solution-focused approaches: treatments that work (CBT, DBT, and whatever else works). We’ll figure out exactly how you’ve “gotten here,” plan a way out, and I’ll guide you along the way…as we activate your strengths and your inner resources to live a better life. I work with adults, teens, and families and I’m available immediately to give you the help you need and deserve.

I am particularly interested in helping clients navigate internal and external relationship patterns, supporting creative expression, developing self compassion, and spiritual exploration and development.

You've sought me out for counseling because you experience a significant discrepancy in your life between how you feel and how you'd like to feel. You're seeking to have positive mental health, that is, to know yourself, to be yourself, to expand your capacity to care for yourself and others and your world, to maintain humility, and to maintain hope. You're aware of the fluctuating nature of your functionality: at times you function well, and at other times you don't function as well as you'd like to. You're aware that, at times, you have experienced distress, that is, difficult life moments. You're ready to create a better life.

Is purity culture or religious messaging preventing you from dating, sex, and healthy relationships? Have you rejected old religious beliefs but feel "stuck" making your new beliefs a reality? I help millennials like you by using a holistic approach to therapy. I combine CBT, IFS therapy, mindfulness, and somatic practices like nervous system regulation to heal at the root of your issues; cultivate self compassion; create new, healthy relationships; and step into your sexual liberation era.

The decision to come to counseling can be difficult. Taking that leap into the unknown can be scary. I believe an individual decides to come to therapy because they have tried everything they can think of to improve their situation but have become stuck. The goal in therapy is to assist the client in becoming ‘unstuck’ and taking steps towards a more rich and meaningful life. I will work with you from a down to earth, non judgmental, solution focused, and accepting stance.

I am a licensed clinician in New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts, and I am a Registered Dance/Movement Therapist. I have a person-centered and holistic approach. I enjoy blending traditional talk therapy, expressive arts, and movement therapy in my counseling sessions. Typically I begin therapy with traditional talk therapy and then at that point I am open to using any particular style depending on your preferred way of processing. Typically my clients are people who feel overwhelmed, have recent loss, need help improving self-esteem, need help improving relationships, and want realistic coping skills in their life.

Ambivalence about change is universal to us all. It is scary to question the parts of ourselves that are no longer serving us, and invite space for something novel. In therapy with me, we will reflect upon the aspects of your life that are working for you, and places where you feel stuck, dissatisfied, or empty. Even the parts of yourself that feel the most frustrating, perplexing, or harmful have arisen in attempts to help you. Together, we will explore all of these parts with openness and curiosity. I work with individuals who are interested in this deep exploratory approach to themselves and their relationships.
