Expressive Arts Therapists in Somerville, MA
My ideal client is someone who is ready for therapy and is committed to their own growth and well-being. This person is open to expressing themselves in therapy. This person may be experiencing challenges such as anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, and trauma. The goals for therapy may be developing coping skills, healing past trauma, and increasing confidence. Needs may include empathy and validation and a need for a safe environment. I am also interested in working with people with a dual diagnosis. I can help people create treatment goals, combine different therapies, and provide community resources to support recovery.

My ideal client is often a little uncomfortable internally, manifested as anxiety or depression. Often, clients I work best with have a complex childhood that can filter into current relationships. My clients often love objective data (like I do) and will measure key components of their care to understand if they are improving over time.

My ideal client would seek therapy for their issues with processing trauma and acknowledging poor coping skills (such as addictions or low participation in life) used in the past to manage symptoms. They would want to use a cognitive behavioral approach to identify their cognitive distortions and negative thinking patterns and bring awareness and change to their behaviors.

In our work together, we'll use holistic & integrative therapy to help you first "put out the fires" in your life & learn to keep them at bay so that you can connect with your inner self, align with your values, & find your purpose. Many people come to me for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life changes, looking for practical tools to "fix" their problems while working toward longer term emotional balance, self-compassion, & a fulfilling life. I can help you navigate your emotions in the here & now, understand past challenges so they can stop plaguing you, build resilience, & ultimately move forward with intention.

I enjoy helping individuals who seek Balance, yet struggle to find the right combination. With 30+ years of experience, I have knowledge and compassion for both the biological and psychosocial aspects of mental health. Support, exploration, new skills and making connections are the essentials for moving forward to a more balanced life. During treatment an eclectic approach will be used to suit your needs as an individual. Modalities may include: CBT, Interpersonal, Psychodynamic, MBCT, and EFT. Opportunities to explore creative outlets, Yoga/Movement, and the Arts, may benefit to enhance the therapeutic healing process.

In my practice I utilize a collaborative, strengths-based model to help clients increase awareness and develop strategies to feel more successful in their lives. My therapeutic approach is overall eclectic, drawing on my training in the evidence-based modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). As an LMHC with a Master's Degree in Art Therapy, I also incorporate expressive therapy when beneficial. In all of my work, I aim to focus my approach depending on the needs of the client I am working with.

I provide individual counseling to young adults/adults in transition with a warm, easy-going and compassionate style. I've lived in countries including Kenya, Germany, France, Korea, China and all over the U.S. (NYC, DC, LA, Boston) and incorporate a more multi-cultural, sensitive approach. I focus on the client's desire to feel better overall. Just as one injures themselves and sees a doctor for help, I view counseling as a way to feel better, after emotional, mental, and spiritual injury and/or pain. I also focus on overall health&wellness, including mindfulness, the arts, spirituality& faith, food/nutrition, & physical fitness.

I provide a therapeutic space where clients can begin to look at relationships, beliefs, values and feelings in a safe, nonjudgmental setting. I approach the sessions with warmth and humor and my hope is that clients will feel comfortable and at ease.

I work alongside people and organizations to achieve their dreams of change, growth and connection with themselves, with others and also with their place in the world. As Einstein said, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." Let's get creative (and maybe outdoors?) to unpack more helpful ways of thinking and doing and being human. If you're at the cusp of a life change, figuring out relationships, desire more calm and connection, want to learn new skills, or just hold curiosity about who you are and can be, then let's connect.

I am an expressive art therapist, I work primarily with neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+ people who struggle to feel seen and validated in the healthcare system and American capitalist systems at large. I enjoy working with people who are seeking a therapist with overlapping lived experiences. I highly value feedback and open communication with clients. In my opinion, the therapeutic relationship is the most important part of good therapy and mutual respect is critical to that. I love working with many age groups ranging from teens to adults.
