Self Esteem Therapists in Waltham, MA

Do you find yourself feeling alone and stuck, letting your anxiety get the best of you, or not bouncing back from upsets as quickly as you’d like to? Perhaps you’ve made some life decisions you thought would lead to happiness, but you’re not feeling as good as you’d hoped? Maybe you’re dealing with a chronic illness or other health related challenge, or you feel unsatisfied with some of your closest relationships. Life can be hard, and everyone needs help sometimes. In fact, humans are by nature collaborative. It can be difficult to see all the possibilities when your mood or hurts from your past are getting in the way.

People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons, yet a common thread unites this motivation: the desire to understand one's experience. Sometimes life can be a struggle: identity, relationships, environments and situations can stress our resources and lead us to lean on familiar ways of being, even when those ways do not feel useful or helpful anymore. Therapy presents an opportunity to be curious, to foster new depths of understanding, and to develop a greater sense of meaning. It also provides a space to explore ways of relating to yourself, others in your life, and the world.

I have helped clients and families through issues including anxiety and depression, parenting challenging children, career difficulties, issues related to sexuality and gender identity, ADHD, life stress, work-life balance, relationship issues, and more. As someone who has struggled with both anxiety and depression at various points in my life, I come at the therapeutic process with both personal and professional knowledge, and always keep in mind those things that were most helpful to me when I was the one seeking a therapist.

Please email for limited availability When you are struggling or feeling something is just not right, it can be hard to figure out next steps. Stress, depression, and anxiety can interfere with relationships, school, work, and sense of belonging. For those who feel they have unhealthy or unwanted thoughts, feelings or habits, therapy can be a place to explore and create a path forward. Sometimes you just need a space to be open and honest, to be heard without judgement, to speak your truth. I work to create a comfortable and reflective environment that helps to build insight and highlight inner strength.

We are born inherently intact, hard wired to experience life fully in all its beauty. By no fault of our own, life often leads us astray from our true nature, and we are left depressed, anxious, traumatized: hurting. By choosing to enter a therapeutic relationship with a caring other, I strongly believe that we can reconnect with that core energy and vitality. Therapy can be the vehicle to healing the mind, connecting with our core spirit, and achieving the personal growth and fulfillment that we all seek as humans. I would be honored to be that caring other and accompany you on your journey of healing and fulfillment.
