Life Coaching Therapists in Norton, MA

I specialize in working with individuals who are seeking change in their life. Making changes, whether in the way we think or the way we behave, can be a very challenging, difficult, and uncomfortable transition. However, it is in meeting these challenges, and making these changes, that growth and empowerment occurs. My strength is in working with individuals who are dealing with chronic childhood abuse or neglect, depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. Equally, my other areas of interest include addictions, (especially with drugs and alcohol), health and wellness, mindfulness meditation skills training, and life coaching.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, lost, and looking for direction? You are not alone; however, there is help. I have seen many clients that suffered from the same issues including anxiety, stress, PTSD, phobias, and lack of direction. Here is an example of the clients that have benefited from my services: "I had for the first time something called neuro linguistic programming (NLP). Can I say my mind is blown away with the results. She worked on 3 traumatic experiences that happened in my lifetime." Maria 7-11-20

I am seasoned professional with over 12 years of experience whose style is collaborative/ solutions focused while using the structure of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you examine the way you think + behave. While working with me, you will gain a better understanding of yourself, and whats get get in the way for you. I work with women (especially mothers) who are on the brink of burnout while also continuing to be high functioning professionals. My client often compare themselves to other women who appear 'less stressed', wanting this for themselves too. I HELP women create peace so that you feel in control of your life.

Where do you want to be in your life? What are the clear and practical steps to get there? How do you find the understanding, compassion and motivation to take those steps? These are the kinds of questions we will address while working together. As a clinical health psychologist and former Buddhist monk I use a collaborative approach focused on developing more personal well-being. I am a husband, father, brother and business owner who values individual perspectives, personal priorities and kindness. I am hard to offend and quick to trust with a healthy sense of humor.

As of September 2023, regrettably my practice is full. Developing a therapeutic alliance based on respect and empathy is the first step in my work with clients. With a genuine connection, I help clients develop increased insight and improved coping strategies to better manage their symptoms, and ultimately improve daily functioning and life satisfaction. I work collaboratively with clients around their clinical needs to ensure their established goals are being met. I use empirically based approaches such as CBT, ERP, ACT and mindfulness. My current work at McLean Hospital keeps me knowledgable about new developments in the field.

Currently accepting new clients! I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in MA and RI. My approach to therapy and coaching is personable, down-to-earth and empathetic. I strive to create genuine connections with my clients in order to foster a safe environment where there's continuous reflection, learning and growth.

Are you struggling with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, behavioral issues at home/school or challenges related to your sexual orientation? Counseling can help! For so many of us, the key to healthier and more fulfilling lives and relationships involves developing effective coping strategies and making or accepting change. Change can be scary and challenging but change is possible.

“The most important investment you can make is to invest in yourself.” My passion is to help clients improve their mental health & manage life stressors by offering a space to process thoughts & feelings without judgment. I value meeting clients where they are at in their unique journeys. By honoring your individuality and tailoring our work to your specific needs and goals. I aim to empower you to reach your full potential. My therapeutic approach is grounded in a strength-based perspective. Rather than focusing solely on deficits or weaknesses, I actively seek out and amplify your existing strengths and resources.

Are you at odds with your circumstances and find balancing life has become difficult? Are you experiencing chronic stress, life changes, loss, trauma, illness, or relational problems that make coping difficult and impact your quality of life? Meaningful resolution leads to healing and growth which takes place within the context of a supportive and nurturing relationship. Focusing on the whole person (heart, mind, body and soul), I help my clients resolve emotional and interpersonal conflicts by identifying negative cycles that have them stuck, whether they be patterns of thinking, feeling or behaviors to increase their quality of life.

I am a clinician who sees clients of all ages. I specialize with children and adolescents, but also, adults. I love my job. I feel that everyone would benefit from a person to share their life's journey. I have an eclectic approach to therapy. There are many different roads that lead to the same destination. Wellness and mental health have become recognized as a priority since the pandemic. My clients are important to me. I would like to offer my services to people in the community through Zoom, telephone, or in person at a public location. Looking forward to empowering new clients.
