Grief counselors and therapists in Braintree, MA

I support women who are ready to reconnect with themselves and step into greater wholeness after years of over giving. Many of my clients come to me during times of stress, transition, or disconnection from their bodies, relationships or sense of purpose. My approach combines counseling and coaching with somatic techniques such as Reiki, creating a holistic path that supports body, mind and spirit. I offer a compassionate and space for healing, growth and transformation. Together, we release old patterns, awaken inner wisdom and open the way to a more authentic and empowered life.

I see my role as creating a safe space a where you can explore what it means to be you. Within the therapeutic alliance, built on trust and safety, I will listen to your joys, fears, and pain with empathy and compassion, and offer you tools to thrive.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, educator, and artist. I am skilled and experienced in supporting people working on issues of self-esteem/worth, traditional and non-traditional relationship issues, sexual wellness, body-positivity, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, recovery, life transitions, family issues, and more.

The work we do will be directed by the Person-Centered, Rogerian principles of unconditional positive regard, empathy, and belief in authentic human connection.

I’m Tori, a licensed independent clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with women and young adults ages 18–25 who are trying to find their way back—or forward—to themselves.

Many of the women I work with are the people everyone else counts on. They may be capable, caring, successful, and getting things done while privately struggling with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship patterns, low self-esteem, or the weight of past experiences. I also have extensive experience supporting women healing from gender-based violence, including intimate partner violence and sexual trauma.

I also love working with young adults navigating the messy transition into adulthood. You may be figuring out who you are, what you want, relationships and friendships, family dynamics, college or career, independence, or why everyone else seems to have adulthood figured out when you definitely do not.

I believe you already have strengths, resources, and parts of yourself worth trusting. Therapy can help you reconnect with those parts while building the confidence and tools to create a life that feels more authentically yours.
