LMFT, 8 years of experience
Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of Massachusetts. I earned my clinical master's degree from Antioch University New England, and have been practicing for 8 years. I specialize in working with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I am influenced by Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
I always look forward to meeting new clients, and I always strive to provide an authentic and trustworthy space where people can feel safe to be themselves, discover more about themselves, untangle themselves, and heal themselves. In our first session, we will have introductions and get oriented to working together, coming up with a plan that fits what you are looking for.
Having worked with individuals, couples and families for 8 years, I have discovered my greatest strength is in developing trust with my clients. I bring my full self to our sessions, and hope it helps you feel comfortable doing the same.
My ideal clients are individuals or couples who wants to live more fully, and would like help to figure out how and take action. They might be dealing with anxiety, depression, family disagreements, social difficulties or past trauma. They could use help in exploring ways to handle difficult emotions, thoughts, or life situations. They are ready to gain self-knowledge and use it to connect better with others and become more of who they really want to be in the world.
I coach mindfulness-based approaches to one's own emotions and experiences and occasionally use guided meditations.
I help people identify effective coping skills and test reality against their typical ideas about it.
I help people explore their personal history and it impacts their present-day experiences, interpretations, and reactions.
