Trauma Focused Therapists in Southbridge, MA

Are you struggling to communicate with your partner? Do you find yourselves arguing over every little thing, holding grudges over past hurts, and unable to find much in common anymore? Maybe you're disagreeing over money, an affair, parenting styles, or sex. You might be considering separation, or maybe you just feel so distant from your partner you might as well be separated. You long for the friendship you once had, to be able to communicate openly without fighting, and to feel seen and heard by your partner again.

Treatment is results oriented, which means we work together at the beginning to define the changes that are meaningful to you. In a basic sense, psychotherapy is for thinking about feelings. We are all part of systems, be they family, work or society. The outcome is more freedom to be yourself. All inquiries referrals scheduling by phone: please call 508.885.3861.

I am passionate about helping people to overcome challenges and live fulfilling lives. I practice a systemic approach that emphasizes the development of the self and how people are influenced by their family and cultural background, community, friends, and relationships. I believe this is the best approach to get to the root of the problem, gain clarity, and to make meaningful, lasting changes.

I look to help those who feel overwhelmed with aspects of their life. I enjoy helping guide my clients through a lot of introspection and asking questions of my clients. I see my role as a therapist to, not provide solutions, but to help my clients come to their own solutions. I enjoy working with clients who are going through life changes (whether that is a death, moving, breakup, coming out, etc...). I enjoy in creating safe spaces for my clients to discuss any topic they wish.
