Online Female therapists in Massachusetts

I have been providing Telehealth therapy via video and phone for the past 6 years. I am fully capable of meeting the needs of my clients via Telehealth as a way to provide convenience to my clients who are unable to make regular office hours due to schedule and location barriers.  

I hold a space for my clients that is safe and supportive, where self-discovery, growth, vulnerability, connection, and healing what's been under the surface can happen. Working through and processing complex experiences and emotions can help a person gain perspective, develop coping skills and learn strategies to break negative thought and behavioral patterns. This creates opportunities for increased happiness and self-confidence, and improvement in overall functioning from work-life to academics and relationships. I want my clients to be able to live life without the weight of anxiety, impacts of trauma and chronic stress, depression and self-doubt acting as a barrier and a source of pain. Mental health is health, and I want to help my clients live their healthiest, happiest lives. Therapy is not just for people in crisis! Therapy is for anyone who wants support navigating the challenges and complexities of life, and wants to improve mental well-being and overall well-being. You don't have to go at it alone.  

As you know, time is a precious resource. Whether it’s a challenging job, running kids around, taking care of aging parents, or (the list goes on)… there are so many demands on your life.Time is NOT something you have a lot of, so why spend the extra time running all over town to get to a therapy appointment? This is where virtual therapy becomes SO helpful! There are many benefits to virtual therapy. First, avoiding the commute will save you at least 30 minutes. You can do virtual therapy anywhere in the state. As long you’re in Colorado or Massachusetts, we can work together… even if you’re hours away!Plus, tears and snot can be a part of therapy, so having privacy after an appointment can be comforting. You don’t have to gather yourself quickly before walking through a lobby full of strangers. There’s just something about being in your own environment that helps you feel comfortable and more able to be open. That’s why I provide all my services virtually. It’s simply the best and most convenient way to deliver mental health services to the greatest number of people. Do you feel a little uncomfortable about online therapy? So was I at first. I literally had to convert to a virtual practice overnight. I was beyond nervous because I had only ever done therapy in person. I quickly learned there wasn’t much difference between virtual and in-person sessions (an experience validated by a lot of research). I’ve also had past clients convert from in-person to virtual therapy, noting that it was “more convenient,” and they felt “no difference” in how effective sessions were. The connection between client and therapist is very similar. If you’ve done virtual sessions that felt “awkward” in the past, I bet it was more about the therapist not being the right fit and less about the virtual environment. If the connection is there, it’s there. As long as I can see your face, I can read your affect and sense your demeanor as effectively as I can in person. I feel as connected and attuned to my virtual and in-person clients. I treat my virtual appointments with the same level of professionalism that I would demonstrate in the office environment, and you’ll get the same tools and interventions as you would in an office environment. And you can also be sure that your privacy is my number one priority. I use telehealth software that is 100% compliant with HIPAA privacy laws and regulations. Ready to get started? It’s easy. All you need is a device with video capability (e.g., a laptop, desktop, or cell phone), a reliable Internet connection, and privacy from others.Therapy needs to be confidential. No matter how well you may know the person, they should not be listening to your session or in the same room while you’re doing therapy. So, have an open mind. Virtual therapy might be exactly right for you!  

You present yourself as having things all figured out when deep down inside you are feeling lost and vulnerable. You are scared because you have lived this way for so long and have never experienced more than temporary relief from it. Perhaps you have not been able to share how you really feel with friends or loved ones. Deep down inside you are exhausted and ready to feel differently. You are ready to be vulnerable and live life differently with hope and passion. Clients come to me with often after exhausting other avenues. Therapy with me is a place where you will learn to open up and not feel judged. I am very empathic but also here for you to make changes. Taking the first step is hard but I can assure you that you will not regret it. We will move at your pace and relief will come.  

I offer either virtual, in-person or hybrid treatment based on patient preferences and goals.  

A safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment can provide comfort and peace when sharing and self-reflecting on your life journey. I provide various resources to help clients build up their self-care and coping skills outside of sessions so the work we do together is reflectant in your everyday life. We will work together to learn to recognize a personal perception of an external situation and how it impacts emotions, body sensations, and behaviors, cope with negative feelings, build positive communication skills, and reduce feelings of anxiety so you can live life as your most fulfilled self. I understand the importance of taking the time to listen to the client’s concerns and understand their perspective. Clear expectations and providing consistent recognition and validation are essential to success. My priority is always to ensure the client receives the best possible care, and I will put in the necessary time and effort to ensure this. Setting achievable goals to help individuals grow professionally and personally is key to therapy. Mind our mind, everyone deserves care and support for mental health. There is no official point in determining when to consider therapy; it is part of health promotion and disease prevention. Just like many conditions, early detection is the key to wellness.  

In my inclusive, collaborative, narrative, and emotionally focused online therapy practice, individuals from diverse backgrounds find a safe space to explore their stories, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Through our partnership, we delve into the underlying narratives shaping your life, enabling me to grasp your unique perspective deeply. I prioritize nurturing emotional connection and growth, guiding you through challenges, and empowering you to reshape your narrative authentically. Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, cultivating resilience and fostering meaningful change.  

I am an anxiety therapist as well as a coach certified in integrative wellness. I help women to reduce stress by making holistic changes, improving their health, shifting mindsets, & creating intentional lives. My clinical specialty is cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety. I also offer coaching support for women & mothers in virtually group settings or with in person retreats.  

My online office is in my home: quiet, confidential, no interruptions except an occasional woof from one of my Cavalier King Charles spaniels. No trafficky commute or struggle with weather for either of us. I can work with you anywhere in the state of Massachusetts.  

Speaking from experience, therapy is a life changing process to create positive change by increasing understanding of self and identifying strategies that work! Having high value of trusting relationships I hope to create a safe, affirming, and supportive space for you to feel, express and grow as you work towards your goals. I specialize in working with children, teens and young adults with any academic or emotional challenges. I also work with adult women struggling with overwhelm, a lacking a sense of fulfillment, feelings of disconnection, or navigating life transitions, moving, motherhood and beyond. While personalizing my approach, I often use a strength-based focus, meaning we are looking at what you do well and approach growth from there! This will help as we dive deep into reflection, understanding and finding strategies that support you. I offer insight and resources to help you achieve your desired future of feeling successful, proud and more knowledgeable about yourself. Congratulations! The fact you are considering therapy, means you have already begun your journey to healing. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming or even scary, but I promise you will not regret starting. Our work together will help you accomplish positive change, more self awareness, develop life-skills and increase confidence, leading to a sense of greater joy and empowerment! Why wait?
