How I Support Your Healing Journey
Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to explore what’s going on beneath the surface whether that’s anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, or feeling stuck in old patterns. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start. Psychotherapy helps by increasing self-awareness, developing healthier coping strategies, and creating space for deeper healing and growth.
It’s more than just talking, it’s a collaborative process of uncovering what’s holding you back and gently moving toward what helps you feel more grounded, connected, and whole. At its core, therapy is also a relationship. Having someone show up for you with consistency, curiosity, and care especially if that hasn’t always been your experience can in itself be profoundly healing.
Over time, therapy can help you make sense of your emotions, strengthen your boundaries, feel more at ease in your body, and reconnect with who you are beneath the stress, pain, or self-doubt. Healing isn't linear, but you don’t have to do it alone.
My Approach to Therapy
I believe therapy should meet you where you are. I take a flexible, collaborative approach that is always guided by your goals, preferences, and unique lived experience. While I often lean toward certain evidence-based modalities, I tailor the work to what feels most supportive for you and I may draw from other methods as needed.
Here are a few frameworks I frequently use:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, helping you identify patterns that may no longer serve you and replace them with more helpful responses.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation, mindfulness, and navigating relationships. It’s especially helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions or struggle with black-and-white thinking.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you build emotional flexibility and live in alignment with your values, even in the presence of difficult emotions. It encourages acceptance of your internal experiences while helping you take meaningful steps forward.
Internal Family Systems (IFS or parts work) explores the different “parts” of you that may be holding pain, fear, or protective strategies. This approach helps you relate to yourself with more compassion and less internal conflict.
In addition to these modalities, I integrate somatic (body-based) practices to support nervous system regulation and emotional integration. Many people have learned to intellectualize their emotions without realizing they’re not actually feeling them. We often stay in our heads while our bodies carry unprocessed emotion, stress, or trauma. Relearning how to safely feel and process your emotions in the body can be a key part of regulation and healing.
Whether you're looking for deeper insight, concrete tools, or a space simply to feel supported and understood, we’ll work together to find what works best for you. My goal is to offer an approach that feels grounding, affirming, and adaptable so that you can move toward the change and healing that matter most to you.
Nurtured by Nature Therapy Group events
Join me for a nature-based therapy group, where we step away from daily stressors and into the calming embrace of nature. Together, we’ll explore local trails and preserves, using mindful walking as a way to slow down, connect with the present moment, and regulate your nervous system. Throughout our journey, I will introduce grounding techniques and mindfulness tools to help you cultivate a deeper sense of balance and resilience. We’ll conclude each walk with a sharing circle, offering space for reflection and connection, followed by a guided meditation to leave you feeling centered and restored. This group is a chance to reconnect with yourself, with others, and with the healing power of nature.
At this time, the Nurtured by Nature Therapy group is available exclusively to individuals in the Greater Boston and surrounding areas, including the North Shore, South Shore, and MetroWest.
