Therapists in Beverly, MA

I am a seasoned, clinical social worker with ten years of experience with the Department of Veterans Affairs, where I treated veterans with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Prior to my work at the VA, I worked in nursing homes and community mental health centers where I provided psychotherapy and crisis intervention to individuals of all different ages and backgrounds. First and foremost, I consider myself to be a trauma therapist, and I subscribe to the notion that most diagnoses are rooted in adverse experiences from the past. I've been described as "blunt" and "caring" by my clients due to my no-nonsense - yet compassionate - approach to therapy. I consider the greatest compliment that I've ever received to be "You are the person that tells me the truth that I don't want to hear." If you appreciate being called out when you're not being completely honest with yourself, then I just might be the right therapist for you. I look forward to working with you!

There's a lot going on around us that can make this a uniquely difficult time and space to be in. But never forget, no matter what--joy, peace, and fulfillment exist here too and are just waiting to be found! I'd love to help you find and restore that in your life. I consider it an honor to be here for my clients in offering unconditional support for the various challenges in their lives. I enjoy reminding people of how amazing they are, despite whatever challenges are standing in their way or who may have ever told them otherwise. Background: I'm actively licensed in professional counseling in several states in the U.S. and I have over 20 years of experience in the field of psychology/behavioral health to include education, counseling office, international work, and inpatient settings. I most enjoy working with clients who are experiencing stress, anxiety, and/or trauma-related symptoms and events to work through because this is my area of my expertise. Additionally, due to my PhD in International Psychology and my background in international humanitarian work and living abroad, I enjoying connecting with expats/immigrants as a source of support. (Please note, if I am not licensed or physically located in your area I can only see you in a supportive role as a life coach. Anytime you are experiencing significant symptoms it's usually best to see a licensed professional in your area who is well-networked and who knows resources near you in case you need them.) Taking the first step to seeking a happier and more fulfilling life takes courage and I am here to provide ideas and encouragement throughout that process. Whether it's just to have a safe place to talk regularly or to work through something more specific, I look forward to meeting you and working together!
