Anger Management Therapists in Boston, MA

My style is warm and casual, creating a dialogue that results in mutual insight and understanding. I like to take an active role in the discussion and use humor while providing an inviting environment to explore the problems and successes of your life. My approach is based in the Psychodynamic, Acceptance/Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR and Mindfulness traditions. I've worked in private practice since 2008 and also at the VA where I am a therapist for veterans in Boston. I graduated from Smith College School for Social Work in Northampton, MA and have practiced in the Boston area since.

I am licensed to practice in MA, NY, RI, and ME, and am available for virtual sessions. I use an integrative approach to psychotherapy, combining insight and skills-based frameworks. I help clients understand how their past experiences and relationships shaped and influence who they are now and how they experience the world (insight), and I help them develop tools for addressing current life situations and for putting that insight to work in moving their lives in the direction they want (skills-based). This approach helps clients link the past which formed them, the present they are living in, and the future they wish to experience.

Sometimes life can seem difficult, sometimes you feel as though your words are not coming out right, sometimes you feel as though your voice is not being heard, sometimes we feel overwhelmed or misunderstood and sometimes we just don’t feel happy. During those moments, it is important to have a safe and non-judgmental space to discuss your stressors and find support in identifying tools to utilize to find balance to lead you to your road of living a happy and healthy life.

A question posed by my mother entering into any conversation growing up, whose repetition used to grind my gears, is now a question I find myself constantly embodying and valuing in my professional life: “Would you like me to respond, or would you like me to listen?” As a therapist, I firmly believe that you are the expert of your own life. My role is to serve as a guide, facilitator, and safe space as I collaborate with you to explore your therapeutic goals. Depending on what feels helpful to you, I am able to act as your sounding board, and I am able to challenge you.

I look forward to helping you reach your goals. Utilizing counseling to take an active role in managing your mental health is a step towards your improved health. We can make changes in our health with effort, support and making the time for your self in this ever demanding world we live. Investing in yourself is your biggest investment. Sometimes therapy may be a place to sit with feelings and emotions, to gain strategies for anxiety, depression, stress, other behaviors, family/work challenges and conflicts, or you may need time and space to reflect, make decisions, receive professional feedback, guidance, skills and validation.

You have the tools to help yourself create peace in your life. I have the experience to guide you on your path of self-discovery and healing. Together, we will explore your whole self , incorporating mind, body and spirit. I believe through an optimistic, warm, supportive and therapeutic environment, anyone can gain knowledge through their experiences. I will guide you through this process and help identify solutions to the struggles that brought you here . The difficulties we face can be alienating.

I provide tele-health (video) therapy in Massachusetts, Ohio and Virginia. I work with older teens, young adults and adults who are struggling at home, school, work, or in relationships. Maybe you're spending all day worrying about school or work, recognizing childhood events are impacting your daily life, unable to socialize (even though you really want to), constantly doubting yourself, or learning to live with a chronic illness. Some clients are going through a life transition, grieving the loss of a loved one/pet, or finding themselves as young adults.

If you have made it this far, well done you! Therapy can be so tough because it requires us to admit that something requires change, and most importantly, ask for help. It can be overwhelming to figure out how to balance your mental health and your daily responsibilities. As your therapist, I don’t expect you to have that figured out because it’s my job to help show you. Our therapeutic space that I offer is nothing short of unconditional support for your entire being. I encourage clients to bring their whole self to therapy and empower clients to use this space in a way that feels most effective for them.

I look to help you identify your strengths and apply them so that you can increase your knowledge of self to live to your full potential and achieve your desired outcomes.

Accepting Clients - Summer 2024! Therapy is a journey of both self-discovery and growth, and a space where you can celebrate your authentic self. Working through life's many challenges can be difficult to do alone. Through therapy, working through these challenges can become easier with time.

Here, therapy can become a space to grow, be challenged, and empowered to apply skills outside of therapy into your personal life.

Embarking on the journey of couples therapy can often evoke feelings of uncertainty and vulnerability. Discussing the intricacies of your relationship isn't always straightforward, even for the most experienced couples. My goal is to establish a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment where both partners feel empowered to explore their current challenges and work together towards meaningful change. I believe in tailoring our therapeutic approach to fit your unique needs as a couple. Every relationship is distinctive, and I am dedicated to adapting our methods to support you in navigating your present struggles.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is where the real magic lies. I work with clients around attachment issues/relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma, and psychogenic physical symptoms. A focus will be on how we relate to the people in our lives, looking through a lens of personal history as well as identities like race, gender, sexuality, and class. If there is an area of your life you are distressed by, curious about, or feel needs to change- let’s explore it. Let me work alongside you to find relief from shame, uncover ambivalence, and re-write your story. A restored sense of liberation is possible.

Even in the darkest of moments, it’s important that you know that you are deserving of feeling good and being well. Yet, experiences can challenge just how much you believe that is possible. You may begin to doubt, doubt turns into inaction, and inaction turns into many dark days and nights. You may feel lost, but hope is not gone. Within our work together we clarify your vision of wellness, examine roadblocks, and identify smart strategies to make life begin to work for you.
