Therapists in Wilmington, MA

Individual and group therapy for emotional extremists: Do intense emotions interfere with your life? What would you be doing differently if your (emotions, thoughts, anxiety) were not causing problems for you? How can increased connections decrease isolation and depression? With 20+ years of experience, I help people stop blaming their moods and make specific steps to experience their life differently. I focus on helping you act according to your values and develop a collaborative, reality based, practical treatment agenda.

Do you tell yourself "Something's wrong with me"? On the outside your life looks good - no one would know you feel this way - but on the inside you cope with conflicting feelings and thoughts that leave you anxious, depressed and undecided. Do you feel very alone – despite your apparent success? Maybe the crux of the matter is an important relationship; no matter how you try, you still feel so alone and invisible. Maybe you feel the problem must be you, "I'm the common denominator" and your efforts to improve yourself haven't helped. If you recognize yourself in this description, reach out to me. I can help.

People often ask me, "What is the purpose of therapy?" I believe there are a few answers to that question. First, you come to therapy to defrost grief, unexpressed rage and other negative feelings, e.g. traumas, losses, betrayals. You also learn to re-parent yourself. Second, you come to have a better transition in your work or love life, or to improve your performance and personal relations. Finally, you get to share your dreams and goals in a safe environment, with no judgment, and to produce amazing action plans to manifest your best life ever.

Do you ever come out a situation and find yourself questioning your emotional reactions? Do you ever find yourself playing mental gymnastics to avoid causing anyone discomfort only to then realize that you're utterly exhausted and have no spoons left for yourself? Maybe you're trying to make sense of your identity, navigate the world as BIPOC/queer/neurodiverse etc. while trying to simultaneously build healthy relationships, set boundaries, process past traumas, and exist in a capitalist society where your productivity is a measure of your validity (spoiler alert it's not; you're valid and your existence is more than enough).

We all just want to be happy, but what that means is different for every person. If you're LGBTQ+ and don't have the support you need from people in your home, work, or school environment, it may be more challenging to live your happiest self. Especially since the pandemic, we may feel even more isolated and in need of support. Coming from a social justice framework, I use a blend of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, and mindfulness based therapy, to help my clients build coping skills, greater trust in their innate healing abilities, and finding their inner truth.

Our unique life experiences influence how we relate to ourselves, and others. This is the lived lens through which we approach problems. We all have latent capabilities and skills to overcome challenges, but may find it hard to access them. It can be very helpful to speak with an objective person to gain insight and a better understanding of oneself. I work from an empowerment model, with a compassionate approach. I endeavor to build a therapeutic relationship founded on equality, trust and safety to achieve mutually agreed upon goals.

Is there a disconnect between you and your partner(s) when it comes to your sex life? If so, please do not wait to get support! Because we were taught so little about sex, many of us shy away from the topic, but that just worsens things. Sex can start to feel like a chore and lack of sex can become the elephant in the room. It can even cause the end of your relationship if left unaddressed long enough. Before I became a sex therapist, I also found myself in this situation in my long-term relationship. But after 10,000 hours of coaching and counseling clients and becoming an AASECT certified sex therapist, I am confident I can help!

Most of our struggles are relational in nature. As a relationship expert, I will guide you toward healing your relational wounds; to step into the self-actualized, meaningful, joyful life you dream of. We all sustain traumas which shape our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world. When we understand our protective strategies we can then update our narratives, unburden our traumatized parts, heal attachment wounds, and make room to relate through our highest self. We can learn new skills in communication, somatic regulation, mindfulness, self-awareness, and more fully build the life which best serves our continual growth.

I am an experienced, warm and insightful therapist. I work with adults across the life span. I am an active therapist, and I listen carefully.

I work with men and women, facing a broad range of personal, work, and family issues. I have often worked with people in their 20's and 30's who want to establish a successful intimate relationship.

It can be difficult to strip away the influences imposed upon us from an early age. We may struggle to find our true course, or feel stuck living according to external pressures; recognizing every so often, a discord between the head and the heart. I believe that every person is entitled to live an authentic and fulfilling life. The first step is to access a deeper presence where we can feel and begin to sort out the various forces moving through us. What clarity might present itself under such conditions?
