Therapists in Gloucester, MA
If you like whale watching, digging for clams, walking on the beach, or touring the local lighthouses, the town of Gloucester is a great place for you. The community started as a shipbuilding center and is now famous for its seafood business, being the place where the iconic Gorton’s Fisherman from the fish fillet commercials came from.
The town was also the site of 16 different movies such as The Perfect Storm, Moonlight Mile, Manchester by the Sea, The Bostonians, and the television series Wicked Tuna is still filmed there. Whether you like these shows or not, sometimes you don’t feel like watching television or doing anything else you usually enjoy. This can be a sign of depression, so you should talk to one of the dedicated counselors in Gloucester, so you can get treatment.

Welcome! Are you looking for support? Want to make a change in your life? I'd love to join you on your journey. I’m passionate about helping people heal and achieve their personal goals, hopes, and dreams. To me, counseling is an individualized process where I get to know you for the unique person you are to best offer support, collaborative problem solving, and resources to help get you where you want to go. People find me to be warm, compassionate, sincere and non-judgmental. I approach my work with holistic wellness in mind and am sensitive to the cultural backgrounds/intersectional identities of those I have the privilege of working with. Because of my expertise and commitment to empowering others, you can build upon your own inherent ability to navigate tough circumstances and the challenges life throws our way in work with me.

Some specialty areas of mine include life transitions, spirituality, trauma, grief, loss, depression, anxiety, relationships, LGBTQ issues, marginalization, personal growth, among others.
