I am a provider at our Foxborough clinic who provides therapy services in-person and via telehealth. I would help by incorporating DBT through using distress tolerance to aid with identifying the uncomfortable feelings and support with creating those healthy coping skills. I would also incorporate the three states of mind to help the client with achieving understanding on how their mind works. I utilize a person-centered approach and empowerment method to help the client recognize they are the expert on their lives and help with their self-discovery. I always say to my clients I am not going to pressure you, with pressure comes diamonds but we are not making gems we are healing one.
My ideal client would be reaching out for support willingly and voluntarily. They could be in age ranges of 5-end of life. The ideal client/clientele could be experiencing persistent anxiety and stress that manifest into other mental ailments due to work, relationship, school, social or other pressures and personal life challenges. They would be of any gender and need the mental support or the coping strategies to manage their issues effectively and prevent them from interfering with daily life. Their goals would be to induce their communication skills and to alleviate or rid their maladaptive coping mechanisms.
I am a mother to a human child and two four legged children. I love pets and watch various children shows which I use in session to compare or induce an understanding of their life situations. I came into this field to help those in need for support and I follow the “Do no harm” motto. I have worked with trauma for almost 10 years and understand that what works for some may not work for you. Different latitudes for different attitudes.
