Relationship Issues Therapists in Waltham, MA

Whatever brought you here at this time, welcome. Life is unpredictable and just when we feel we have a grasp on our reality, it changes. It is normal to find yourself overwhelmed, anxious, or maybe even unable to identify what you’re feeling. Together we can work to give name to your emotions, identify what areas of your life are confusing or chaotic, and work toward achieving a better quality of life. I’m here to help build and develop your life ‘toolkit’ in a safe and honest space.

I work as an interactive, psychodynamically oriented therapist and seek to help clients discover their own uniqueness; put to rest any outdated negative messages from their histories and move into full, and gratifying lives for themselves and their loved ones. I believe the therapeutic alliance is a partnership where both participants,with the help of my expertise and professional experience,work toward healthy, achievable goals in an atmosphere of warmth,nurturance and trust.

Transitions such as graduation, new jobs, family changes, and education can put added stress on already complicated lives. You may feel like you are being pulled in multiple directions, or may feel that you've lost sight of what is important. Although you are no doubt doing the best you can, through therapy, I can help you find your way and provide tools to ease this transition. My approach is interactive, collaborative, and supportive. I primarily draw on cognitive- and acceptance-based approaches, but use a number of therapeutic techniques to best address the needs of my clients.

Are you going through a transition in life? Maybe you are seeking further education in a career or trying to seek insight into the age-old question "What do I want to be when I grow up?" If you feel stuck, depressed, or anxious at the thought of the previous question, I am your person.

As your therapist I will work with you to create a safe, non-judgmental space that encourages exploration and reflection upon your particular situation and needs.

My practice provides safe and supportive environment to reduce pressure, discomfort, fear of judgment creating an atmosphere of trust, acceptance, and validation. This setting allows to speak openly about physical, emotional, and psychological concerns, to freely express doubts, believes, thoughts, feelings, emotions, ideas, and concepts. I encourage, but not pressure, exploring difficult situations, traumatic events, defense mechanisms, malfunctioning schema, identifying patterns, values, beliefs, connections between past and present; building on strengths to overcome challenges, realize potential and find meaning.
