Women's Issues Therapists in Framingham, MA

With over a decade of experience as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), I am dedicated to making the journey towards a better life more accessible. Through individual therapy services, I employ a strength-based and person-centered approach to equip clients with practical skills. My goal is to empower individuals to achieve a healthy lifestyle by overcoming obstacles and challenges.

Please contact me about my current openings, email is best. I work collaboratively with clients in facing challenges related to life transitions, relational issues, anxiety and depression. I am committed to supporting clients in gaining greater insight and self awareness about feelings, thoughts and internal conflicts that may impact your living a more satisfied life. My approach to therapy is compassionate, ethical and non-judgmental with a focus on encouraging self-compassion/acceptance, identifying strengths and changing patterns. You can make the changes you desire with support, and identifying patterns that keep you stuck.

Have you not been feeling yourself lately? Do you want to make changes to your life, but aren't sure how or where to start? I help individuals who feel called to make positive changes in their lives and learn new ways to cope with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Together, we can identify what isn't working and support you in finding balance again.

I believe it takes strength and courage to seek therapy. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space in which you can explore attitudes and beliefs/patterns which get in the way of accomplishing your full potential and fully engaging in life. I utilize techniques from positive psychology, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and dialectal behavioral therapy to connect my clients with their "true, inner selves," something which we most often lose touch with as we go about our lives in this often unpredictable and stressful world. I also believe in the power of humor and laughter as tools in the healing process.

Life and relationships are messy. Especially today. There is so much uncertainty, and each day, you face more and more challenges as you try to navigate through the world. Anxiety, stress, and loneliness are the guests that won't leave. Relationships with partners, family, friends, and coworkers feel broken, disconnected, and stagnant, and it feels so lonely. You long for the days when you felt alive and things were in sync. You just want to be heard, valued, and cared for. You want to be accepted, rather than shamed, for your lifestyle and your choices. And you wonder, where do I even begin.

Ready to feel empowered and live your BEST life? Are you feeling anxious about decisions you have to make, stressed out with relationships, and overwhelmed with everyday life?Do you feel hopeless, discouraged, unmotivated, and sad daily? My ultimate goal as a therapist is to help you find the BEST version of yourself and feel at peace! I will help you navigate through daily life challenges, find fulfillment, and happiness in life.

It takes courage and self awareness to seek support for your stress, and I'm continually honored by the individuals I serve in my practice for their willingness to open up to me. I strive to create a welcoming, non-judgmental environment that can enhance the process of therapeutic change. All people find themselves "stuck" at times, and through empathy and validation I work to create a path towards hope and healing for my clients.

Transparency, humor, and compassion are all parts of my therapeutic style, and collaborating with clients during times of struggle, contemplation or transition is what I enjoy most. I am a white, heterosexual, cisgender therapist based in the Framingham area, and I am committed to acknowledging the ways that systemic oppression impacts individuals and groups, and to having open and honest conversations with my clients as well as supporting their healing.

Navigating life's challenges and obstacles can be overwhelming. The therapeutic process provides an opportunity to discover new ways of responding to stressors and barriers that keep us from feeling our best. As a licensed mental health counselor and expressive arts therapist, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental environment in which one can safely explore root causes of issues, deepen self understanding and build coping skills necessary to move toward healing and lasting change.

I believe that connection is vital to a healthy mind and body, and that the alliance I form with clients is central to addressing the issues that brought them to therapy. As both a registered nurse and a psychotherapist, it is my privilege to walk with clients on their journey to wellness. I utilize various approaches including CBT, psychodynamic, motivational interviewing and ACT therapy. Using a collaborative approach, we continually assess progress toward your goals. I work with adults challenged by depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions.

I work with adults who want to tackle the issues of anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, transitions, and parenting. I find that a sense of humor helps in the therapeutic process and firmly believe that the client is the expert in their own life. My job, as I see it, is to listen to your story with an objective perspective, help you to examine and question existing behaviors and thought patterns, and assist you in developing new strategies to move your life in the direction you desire.

Practice is full - will begin accepting new clients in August, 2024. This 6-8 session approach to couple therapy will incorporate techniques from Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, Relational Life Therapy, and the Gottman Method to help clients quickly assess and make changes to enhance the quality of their relationships and navigate new challenges that emerge at various life stages. Brief parent counseling can help clients consider how to utilize and adapt their parenting style to fit the unique, developmental needs of their child(ren), particularly those facing social emotional difficulties.

I believe that therapy is a journey that takes place in a safe and collaborative space between therapist and client. Within that space, I use a warm, supportive, curious and empathic approach to guide our work as we look at current and past stressors that may be causing you to feel "stuck" in various aspects of your life. Together, we can work to identify your inner strengths and resources that will aid you in managing current stressors, work through past events, and move towards health and healing. Specializations include: PTSD/Complex PTSD, Anxiety/Stress, Dissociation, Sexual Assault/Abuse, and relationship/adjustment challenges.

I believe the power to create positive movement in your personal or work life lies in your ability to negotiate relationships. If you are feeling stuck, low or anxious, I am an experienced psychologist who provides a positive and supportive therapy environment. I have helped many people examine their problems and make necessary changes. I am an active therapist and connect easily with adults of all ages, adolescents and couples. My specialties include couple's therapy, divorce, parenting issues and individual therapy around anxiety and depression for men and women of all ages, including adolescents.

Welcome! I am a clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience working with adults in outpatient mental health, partial hospital, and inpatient medical settings.

My approach, grounded in curiosity, will allow us to explore your story on your terms, at pace that feels most comfortable for you. While I appreciate and integrate several therapeutic modalities into my practice, my experience with Narrative Therapy significantly informs how I position myself as a therapist. My hope is to support you while you identify your goals, deepen your understanding of your values, and take your power back from the problems that try to get in your way. I specialize in treating those effected by grief, chronic illness, infertility, trauma, mood disorders, life transitions and relationship issues.
