Therapists in Peabody, MA

*Certified CBT Therapist* My approach to therapy allows me to conduct solution-focused therapy; meaning that together we will work towards solving whatever questions you may have through changing thoughts and/or behaviors. I also perform Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) where my work focuses on helping people change problematic behaviors. With a teaching style heavily rooted in behavior therapy, I am able to work with people to problem solve in the here and now, where we will work to turn the issues of yesterday and today into a better tomorrow.

**Please note: I currently do not have openings. I have over 20 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults and families live happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings including community mental health, hospitals and schools specializing in treating depression, mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, stress management, relationship issues, parenting issues, behavioral management/modification techniques, pregnancy and fertility issues.

"I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families from age eighteen through every adult decade. My style is interactive, collaborative, and non-hierarchical. My emphasis is on promoting psychological resilience by helping my clients expand their copings skills in the manner of resilient individuals. You do not have to be unusually healthy or come from a terrible past in order to benefit from the lessons of the resilient. I am equally comfortable and conversant with agony as much as ecstasy. If you are motivated to change through therapy, you are highly likely to be a lot happier with yourself and your life over time."

You deserve compassion and respect. As your therapist, our work together starts by forming trust and developing a relationship centered on understanding YOU and the change you hope to invite into your life. It is my belief that healing begins through honest self-reflection, more skillful communication, and learning to align our behavior with our personal values. If you are seeking support along this path, I welcome the opportunity to join you.

As a therapist I believe that everyone encounters challenges at different points in their life and may need additional support in order to get back on track and function as their best self.
