Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a traumatic, scary or dangerous event. PTSD can be caused by either witnessing or experiencing the trauma. Events that sometimes trigger PTSD include everything from sexual assault, war, and violence, to car accidents or other incidents that could cause loss of life. It is not at all uncommon for people who go through something traumatic to have temporary difficulty coping and acute symptoms, but with time, they usually get better. However, if the symptoms last longer than a month, get worse rather than better and affect your ability to function, you may be suffering from PTSD. Symptoms of PTSD may include severe anxiety, anger, nightmares, trouble sleeping, flashbacks to the event, frightening thoughts, avoidance of situations or places, feeling on edge and/or being easily startled. If you think you may be experiencing PTSD, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s specialists today to get help.
Each relationship shared with a client brings a sense of investment and an opportunity of reward for diligence. We will aspire to goal achievement, conflict resolution and development of crucial life skills from a place of effective self-assessment, critical thinking and incorporation of tools that work for you.

Everyone experiences distressing or overwhelming challenges at different points in life. Many people struggle to manage these inevitable difficulties, get stuck and then subsequently feel defined by their emotional pain. This can negatively impact relationships, ambitions, work and self-worth. I believe in people’s inherent right to live meaningful and joyful lives and in their ability to choose how to respond to life’s challenges.
I believe the roadmap to well-being is already within you and my role is to help you find the tools to navigate it so you can find healing and empowerment. I work with adults of all identities, and treat a range of issues including depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I specialize in helping clients with issues of self-worth, as well as unresolved grief and trauma. I approach therapy with flexibility, warmth, and compassion.

I help clients navigate issues related to mood and anxiety disorders, complex trauma and PTSD, and other major life stressors. I use an anti-oppressive lens and pay close attention to the way cultural and institutional factors impact your health. I believe that therapy is one part of a process toward connection and a sense of belonging with others.

Music has been a passion of mine since I was a child. In my experience, music has always moved me deeply, and I have always felt a profound connection to the words of songs I listen to. My interest in the music scene and my growing awareness of the issues of mental health and substance abuse are intertwined. This realization, combined with the loss of many talented musicians, has inspired me to dive headfirst into mental health and substance abuse treatment for those involved in the music world.

Clients in my practice have a history of developmental trauma. I utilize DBT to help clients gain skills to build a life worth living. Once they have skills, clients move on to process trauma through psychotherapy. I tailor my practice to meet the specific needs of clients and teach strategies to meet goals. I enjoy supporting clients in pinpointing the causes of issues and work together to remove negative behaviors and thought patterns.

I provide individual therapy to adults. I employ next layer healing with many of my clients, who have already had success utilizing therapeutic techniques to target specific symptoms. Despite this success and progress, they often still feel that something is out of alignment. Using an integrative and holistic approach, I help clients work towards a deeper layer of healing that gets to the root of judgments and negative messages they have received through the human experience.

I support individuals and couples using an eclectic model, which includes EMDR for anxiety, depression and trauma-related disorders. I have a bit of a specialty in working with polyamorous/consensually nonmonogamous individuals and couples. I am experienced with ADHD, chronic illness, LGBTQIA+ issues, and perinatal emotional concerns. I also offer EMDR Intensives, so that we may get the work done in fewer sessions! I now offer walk-and-talk in-person therapy in the Central MA/MetroWest area.

You're smart and analytical but you can't seem to analyze your way around your painful feelings. So you end up feeling disconnected from others in your life, unsure about how to communicate and assert yourself, and frustrated that you can't think your way out of your problems. In therapy with me, we will tackle your challenges in new ways, with creativity and humor and emotion. We'll recognize your strengths and appreciate how you have learned to take care of yourself.

You've experienced sexual assault (and you might find it hard to label it that way). You struggle with intimacy and are worried there is something wrong with you. You often feel anxious and even when things are going well in relationships it feels like you are waiting for something to go wrong. Sometimes during sex you cry, dissociate, or try to just "get through it". You're worried you might never get over the bad things that have happened to you and that on some level you're broken.

Do you feel like your mind races so much that you bounce from one thing to another without finding relief or resolution? I help individuals and families with adolescents feel a lot less anxious so that they can live with an inner calm and confidence to meet challenges without lashing out or breaking down. Chronic anxiety can disconnect you from loved ones and interfere with work. I can help you recognize and diminish the self-defeating behaviors that create the snowball effect .
