About me
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts, who offer psychotherapy for adults in private practice setting.
マサチューセッツ州の認可を受けた臨床ソーシャルワーカー(社会福祉士)が、個人や家族が抱える問題を理解し、その人・ご家族に合った支援を行います。相談は無料でどうぞ(ケースワークは実費のみ)。
It’s not always easy to reflect on ourselves or understand the roots of our struggles. In our sessions, I hope to explore with you—your thoughts, behaviors, life history, coping patterns, and the challenges you're facing.
I offer psychotherapy for adults in a private practice setting, either remotely or in person at my office.
My approach is strengths-based, grounded in acceptance and support. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), insight-oriented therapy, Family Systems, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, psychoeducation, and other evidence-based modalities, tailoring each session to your unique needs. I have experience working with individuals facing relationship and family challenges, stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
The first couple of sessions (60 minutes each) will focus on a comprehensive initial assessment. In the following 60-minute sessions, I’ll present a concrete treatment plan—including my assessment, proposed treatment approaches, and therapeutic goals—and review it with you. I deeply value your input and will collaborate with you every step of the way.
In addition to being a psychotherapist, I also work as a social worker and advocate. I bring a resourceful, solutions-oriented mindset to my practice. If case management support is helpful, I’m happy to assist in that area as well.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation. To schedule an appointment, please call (617) 610-6185.
