BlueCross BlueShield Therapists in West Springfield, MA

I truly believe that psychotherapy is a collaboration and fostering a strong therapeutic relationship is imperative. I make it a priority to spend time building a quality rapport which helps me gain an understanding of who you are, how you receive information, and how I can be most helpful. I offer a warm, safe, and supportive environment, and incorporate modalities such as CBT, DBT, and SFBT. I strive to help adolescents and young adults identify and express emotions, navigate expectations, create identity, and live life in a more fulfilling way. My passion is working LGBTQIA+ individuals.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, or issues from the past the you just can't seem to let go of? Exploring your thoughts and feelings in the context of a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship with an experienced therapist is often helpful. I have many years experience helping people of all ages work through their hurt and pain. I utilize an empathic approach that stems from my training in pyschodynamic therapy and familly systems theory.

I am a therapist with 12 years of experience, working with individuals from diverse backgrounds in the Western Massachusetts area. I treat individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder symptoms, substance use, and grief and loss, among other concerns.

This may include improving communication, coping skills, relationships, developing recovery/relapse prevention tools, and addressing trauma.

Have you tried to manage symptoms of anxiety, panic attacks, and depression with distractions, self-medicating behaviors, and hoping time will make things better, but instead, they worsen? The frequency and intensity of these symptoms feel like a dark cloud before a storm that does not clear up, causing feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. I encourage you to try therapy.

Representation matters and I am part of the LGBT community, latinx and have an invisible disability. I have been doing this work for about 10 years (MSW Boston College 2015). I am ready when you are! Genuine compassion and trust is at the root of any solid relationship and necessary for success to manifest! We have to be willing and ready to do the messy work. As your therapist, I also have to be ready. I have to be ready and capable of containing all of what comes up in therapy.

Hey there! Do you tend to overthink and go through your days on auto-pilot? Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? It is a natural response to feel isolated, anxious, depressed and disconnected when our needs are not being met. Sometimes we get stuck in patterns that are not serving us and breaking the cycle takes intentional work. Therapy can help you exit survival mode and build new habits. It may be a scary step, but developing a positive relationship with a therapist is a worthwhile first step. Together we will create a safe space where you feel supported, listened to, understood and cared for.

I work with couples, individuals and families. Through the process of therapy, you can develop new ways of dealing with conflicts, communication difficulties, grief and loss, and many other daily concerns. In a non-judgmental and supportive environment, you can make positive changes for a stronger today and future. I believe that addressing the relationship between couples may require a “sacred space”. This safe space can allow the therapist to work with couples in breaking down walls that may have kept them trapped in overwhelming situations, and aid them in developing deeper connections.
