My Services
Individual Psychotherapy via telehealth
I have a unique relational, integrative and intuitive approach that attends to you as a whole person: your mind, body and soul. Together we explore aspects of self in relation to the people and the world around you. My therapeutic practice is grounded in psychodynamic theory and utilizes other therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Mindfulness, Play Therapy, Expressive Arts Therapy and Strength-Based Therapy. As a graduate of Mama Nirvana’s New Yoga 200 hour teacher training program here in Western Massachusetts, I bring this added level of awareness and body-focused skill set to my therapeutic practice.
I provide psychotherapy for adolescent and adults. I specialize in working with individuals identifying as female who have been impacted by anxiety and interpersonal trauma. I also have experience in working with the following issues & concerns:
-
Adjusting to change and life transitions (including losses such as moving or relationship endings)
-
Anxiety - generalized & social
-
College adjustment
-
Decreased Self-care
-
Grief & traumatic grief
-
Guilt
-
PTSD
-
Secondary traumatic stress
-
Self-esteem, self-image, self-confidence
-
Shame
-
Trauma (sexual, physical and/or emotional abuse, medical trauma)
My ultimate goal is to help you regain a sense of purpose & joy in this world and to guide & support you on your path to feeling like your true self again. We will accomplish this together through a combination of talk therapy and other approaches tailored to your needs. I incorporate art, breath work, yoga & other modalities into my practice as they support nervous system regulation and they are the language through which the body naturally communicates.
Through my individualized, holistic (body-mind-spirit) approach to psychotherapy I will provide you with specific strategies to increase positive feelings and guide you to develop greater recognition of your own internal resources and strengths to carry with you beyond therapy.
