Lesbian Therapists in Tewksbury, MA

I have been a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with over 25 years of experience. Although well known through my work with the LGBTQ community, I look forward to working with all individuals, and couples. All are welcome here. Day and evening video appointments are available from wherever you are located.

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.

You’re good at so many things, but you struggle in relationships, with confidence in who you are, or managing grief. Therapy will help you tap into your natural ability for deep connection, inner strength, and healing. Perhaps in Relationships- you struggle with communication, boundaries, or you keep getting stuck in the same patterns? In Identity- you know your worth, but have trouble with your self-esteem? In Grief- you get overwhelmed, and don’t know where to start to feel better? You're ready to master relationships, heal, and be unapologetically yourself.

NOW providing LMHC Supervision Collaboration and finding a rhythm that works for a therapeutic relationship is one of the most important beginnings in any relationship and one that I find important to grow. I believe in affordable and accessible mental health care that works for you, the client. I will work with around what you can afford to make taking care of yourself easier. I believe that we are all living a collective human experience that my role is to witness and walk next to you while you guide your own journey through treatment.

You want to feel better and do better in your life, and now, perhaps more than ever, you need someone – someone REALLY helpful – “in your corner” to help you turn things around. I’m willing and able to do just that. Together, we can do this: I use a range of solution-focused approaches: treatments that work (CBT, DBT, and whatever else works). We’ll figure out exactly how you’ve “gotten here,” plan a way out, and I’ll guide you along the way…as we activate your strengths and your inner resources to live a better life. I work with adults, teens, and families and I’m available immediately to give you the help you need and deserve.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with the passion to help people make positive changes for themselves. My work in an outpatient clinic has provided me with invaluable experience working with individuals, couples, and groups addressing a range of concerns from depression, anxiety, addiction, personality disorders, and thought disorders to life transitions, multicultural considerations, social justice, relationship challenges, and stress-management. I specialize in working with adolescents, college-age students, and adults.

Hello and welcome. I have worked in the mental health field since 2008 and became a therapist in 2015. I made a choice to become a Life Coach because I want to help people set realistic goals and achieve them. We all have struggles that make life seem impossible to manage and having support during those times can be incredibly helpful. Let me help you set and reach goals that will take you through difficult transitions.

I work well with people throughout the age range, whether it's a child struggling in school, an adult overwhelmed by life's demands, or a senior citizen in need of support, I'm prepared and eager to help. While your relationship with your therapist is central, I focus on RESULTS: With a dynamic mix of positive psychology and evidence-based treatment, it's my mission to help you to feel better & do better in your life.

Listening closely to each person's reason for seeking counseling I work to help people identify thinking patterns that are not serving them well. Most people know what would help them, but struggle to shift their thinking patterns to allow for change. My job is to help each person identify where their thinking is not supporting their goals.

Some days are better than others, but there’s an ongoing theme in your life of feeling discouraged and overwhelmed. You find yourself frequently worrying about how you will stay on top of all your responsibilities, and sometimes worrying about things that you know are out of your hands. When you stop and reflect, you know you used to have real closeness with your partner or other important people in your life, but it’s getting harder to remember that actual feeling. You’re drained by how much you seem to give of yourself but don’t feel hopeful about anything changing soon.

My experience has taught me of the resiliency of people and the power of change. I have extensive knowledge and experience working with mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and anger.
