In Person Therapists in Everett, MA

I earned my MSW degree from Indiana University, but my idea of my career was much different. My initial goal in becoming a social worker was to be an advocate for social and political change. I imagined myself pushing for a kinder, gentler world in the halls of power. However, upon completion of my program, I found there was a great need in my community (a rural community with high poverty rates and a severe opioid epidemic) for mental health providers. That's what drew me into becoming a therapist. I remain passionate about advocating for positive change in our world.

Often times people experience challenges in their lives. During these difficult times it's not always easy to ask for help. Whether it's life transitions, school or work that is holding you back and preventing you from being who you want to be I offer a safe non judgmental, confidential space for you to explore your therapy needs. My approach varies according to needs of my clientele.

It takes courage to seek support during difficult times. Feeling stuck by the challenges in our lives is a common difficulty we all face. While the path towards healing can feel overwhelming at first, I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment where you can openly discuss your experiences, feel supported, and work towards realistic solutions. As a licensed clinical psychologist, my focus is on helping children, adults, and parents facing a range of emotional, behavioral, and relationship difficulties.

I enjoy working with others struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, confidence, spirituality, relationship issues, and self-worth. I often find myself working with those who are learning how to honor their intuition and develop their true and higher selves. I also enjoy working with clients who are open to alternative therapies. I am a heart-centered and strengths-based therapist who meets clients where they are in life and strives to provide a nurturing environment to allow my clients to grow into the best versions of themselves.

The ideal client is motivated to continue to work with their inner child to become grounded in the present moment. They may have anxiety, mood disorders, or personality disorders, or they may not be sure what is underlying their experience, which I can help identify as well. The ideal clients are open to trying new methods of healing, including arts and spirituality. They are willing to trust me with their feelings and express them, whether that is verbally, through the expressive arts, or both.

I enjoy working with people who are experiencing life transitions, changing careers, going through grief or loss, experiencing anxiety, looking for support with trauma, developing coping skills, or just seeking support with the messiness of life. I want to work with clients who are motivated to engage in self-reflection and make a commitment to creating space for themselves to work through their current patterns that are no longer serving them. I meet the person where they are at and understand what ways they would like to make changes in their life.

Embrace Pathways is deeply committed to offering our community a diverse array of mental health services, such as One-to-one counseling starting at age 5, In-Home Therapy, Family Therapy, Couples Therapy, Groups Therapy, and School-Based therapy.

I believe that the first step to helping individuals is for them to acknowledge that they need help. From there, I can support them in creating goals that they want to achieve so that they can feel confident and encouraged to face life's challenges.

I believe therapy is an opportunity to heal, grow, explore and create change. If you are looking for extra support or guidance through a challenging situation and ready to move to a new direction. My style is interactive,utilizing the client's strengths, as we work together towards achieving your goals.

I am a licensed professional counselor that has been working in behavioral health for over 20 years. I am a lifelong resident of South Jersey and obtained my Bachelors and Masters degrees from La Salle University in Philadelphia.

My clinical orientation primarily emphasizes psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy approaches and is rooted in relational and person-centric models. I have advanced training in psychodynamic approaches as a Fellow at the Boston Psychoanalysis Society and Institute. My style is eclectic and I derive techniques from a comprehensive range of approaches, including solution-focused, narrative, multicultural and expressive models of psychotherapy. I recognize that there are cultural limitations inherent to each of these approaches and endeavor to tailor the therapeutic experience to respect clients’ diverse backgrounds.

I work with individuals and groups to cope with anxiety, depression, relationship/school/work concerns, trauma, substance use and other obstacles. I believe in creating a safe space, developing a therapeutic partnership, identify strengths and practice the skills so that you will have the tools to thrive.

Have you been feeling sad, hopeless or as if life is overwhelming? Are you wondering if the anxiety and struggles of life will ever get better? I can help you focus on empowering yourself to make the best decisions for your life through hope, help and healing so that you can maintain a fulfilling and rewarding life even in the midst of varying challenges. I have skills in the areas related to depression, anxiety, other mood disorders, grief, suicidal thoughts, self harm, domestic violence and varying other traumas and experiences.

My ideal patient comes with an open mind to participate in talk therapy and narrative therapy. Ready to start a process - not necessarily eager to engage but wanting to make a change. They are sick and tired of being sick and tired.
