Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Marlborough, MA

Our broad goal––of course––is “the end of unnecessary suffering.” Sound about right? While we all strive for this, I specialize in helping folks with a very-unique kind of suffering: OCD. I can tell you that few people understand the pain and complexity of OCD—(even most therapists). I will listen intently to your unique story. Just know that I can introduce you to an arsenal of tools that can help: mindfulness, ERP (exposure and response prevention) and on and on. Yes, thoughts can be “sticky.” But––with hard work––if (or when) those thoughts come back around…they can be as quiet & as harmless as a yellow post-it.

My empathic and supportive nature allows me to build productive therapeutic relationships in which clients discover paths to surpass their obstacles. I coordinate my expertise with clients' style of coping in order to create action strategies that best suit their needs. I find it important for my clients to feel they are empowered in their treatment, in turn feeling a sense of pride and renewal in their lives. I work with clients to find a balance in their lives by focusing on themselves, emotionally, physically and intellectually.

I have been working as psychotherapist since 2017 with clients from all age groups, various background and different cultures. Brazilian, living in the US from the past 25 years and have plenty of knowledge of what challenges immigrants face here, including difficulties adjusting to the culture and thriving the system. I have experience with a variety of diagnoses including anxiety, ADHD, depression, panic disorder and OCD.

Please note: I am accepting new clients and have evening/weekend availability. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who is passionate about helping people lead a meaningful, fulfilled life. I specialize in treating emerging adults, adults, and seniors who are managing post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders. I also have expertise in helping individuals who are managing identity and relationship issues, grief, insomnia, bipolar disorder, life transitions, and disordered eating/body image concerns.

As an Acute/Critical Care Nurse Practitioner, I was not cognizant of the impact of mental illness on family and society, until I decided to pursue a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Degree. I believe that societal stigmatization of mental illness, and the shame felt by families who have a loved one with mental illness, makes it difficult for these patients to recover, and live peacefully for the rest of their lives. Psychiatric illness should be treated like a medical illness with no stigma, no blame or shame.

I am a Licensed Therapist in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Difficult experiences in life can bring up feelings of anxiety, depression, or lack of direction; it can be hard to know what to do. With compassion and honesty, I will help you to work through issues while identifying your areas of concern pointing at your inner strengths, and helping you to be a happier and healthier version of yourself. When clients are focused on exploring their feelings, they are empowered to face any obstacle in their lives and rewrite their own stories.

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.

My warmth and compassion helps build a healing environment to support internal growth. I collaborate with clients to be empowered to fulfill their personal goals and live their best life. My use of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness as well as an eclectic approach offers a tailor-fit approach for each person to strategize and resolve challenges and conflict in their life. I offer guidance and support for each person to make empowered choices to create renewal, balance and freedom in life. I offer insight, and a non-judgmental environment to support, and teach skills necessary for growth.

Acknowledging you deserve to be happier and healthier in your life is the first step. Taking that first step in seeking help requires courage. My cognitive behavioral approach and techniques will create change and progress toward a more productive fulfilling life. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps individuals identify their distressing thoughts and evaluates how realistic your thoughts are.

I treat all anxiety disorders and mood disorders. I have a specialty in treating trauma survivors. I also practice mindfulness based psychotherapy.I feel I am effective in dealing with grief and loss, life transitions and women's issues as well.

If you are having difficulty managing the physical, emotional, and psychological demands that life invariably brings, perhaps I can help. I have twenty years' experience working with children, families, and adults. The core of my treatment revolves around identifying strengths and building on resiliency. I can help you manage daily stressors, form meaningful relationships, and rebuild a healthy sense of self.
