Trauma Focused Therapists in East Longmeadow, MA

In my work as a therapist I seek to create an environment that is caring and supportive while allowing us to identify opportunities for growth and healing. My approach emphasizes skill-building, increasing insight and helping you to return to a life that is balanced, healthy and productive. By co-creating a therapeutic relationship based on trust and authenticity, I assist individuals in reaching their highest potentials. It can be difficult to take that first step but when you are ready to invest in yourself, great change is possible.

I worked as a therapist for a local community mental health agency for 4 years, where I developed a specialty in working with adults, particularly around anxiety, depression, boundaries, and self esteem issues. I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore feelings, decrease conflict, and work toward an individual's goals. My hope is that we can develop a relationship that feels comfortable and supportive.

Therapy is much more than talking out your thoughts. I believe when engaged in therapy individuals feel supported, validated, empowered and encouraged to overcome or get through anything.

I look forward to helping people build skills, think critically about their habits and work towards a better quality of life.

Does your family need help navigating relationships? Many people face challenges that affect numerous areas of their life such as the way they think, feel, and act. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and transitional-age youth in a therapeutic environment to help them overcome their obstacles using strength-based and client-centered techniques while emphasizing a cognitive-behavioral therapy approach. I believe that by working together with clients they gain coping skills/insight and learn how to foster healthy and happy relationships where they can be successful in reaching their goals

We often rely on survival skills we learned as children to navigate the world. These skills helped us feel safe and taught us how to view and interact with the world. However, some of these ways of surviving now impede our ability to form deeper connections with others and ourselves. Our marriages become challenging, family interactions feel hollow, and we struggle to be vulnerable due to fear of judgment. This fear prevents us from connecting with others, setting boundaries, and making better decisions. At Tribe Institute, we help you discover the generational patterns that have helped and hindered you.

We honor the courage it takes to reach out for support. If you've found yourself here, it means you've taken the first step toward achieving the peace and healing you deserve.

This looks different for all, and I'm happy to adapt as needed while supporting in reaching the ultimate goals outlined.
