Therapists in Peabody, MA

I work with clients to help with life challenges such as stress, depression, anxiety, transitions, relationship challenges, parenting stress, aging, and medical illness. My focus is on helping clients to set goals, better understand themselves, and learn practical ways to cope with difficult feelings and challenges. I have experience working in psychiatric and medical settings, including McLean Hospital, Partners Healthcare and Lahey Hospital. My speciality is working with clients in outpatient psychotherapy. I use various techniques and approaches with my clients, with a special interest in mindfulness skills. My style is interactive and collaborative.

The path to healing takes courage, strength and perseverance. I believe every person has the ability to heal from traumatic experiences, overcome life challenges, and effectively manage stress. As a seasoned clinician and Reiki Master/Teacher, I incorporate holistic, creative, mind-body integration techniques into my practice with you, your child or family. As you embark on this healing journey, together as a team, we will develop strength-based goals tailored specifically to your needs.

I work primarily with individuals (ages 15 and up) and families, specializing in trauma, mental illness, attachment and relationship issues, and the difficulty that comes with life transitions. I also have an interest in adults with parents who have personality disorders or mental illness, as well as caregivers of children with mental illness. Therapy can feel big and scary, however it doesn't have to be! Taking this step is about choosing to prioritize your own health and needs. My priority in treatment is supporting you to increase self-care, self-love, and guide you towards wellness and healing.

Working with clients is not only my job, its my passion. I work with individuals, families and couples. I work with clients who experience, depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBT issues, marriage and family issue. If we speak on the phone and I do not feel I am skilled in your area of need, I will be happy to try to refer you to another therapist.

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. My focus is on helping you to identify places where you feel stuck or are struggling and to help you tap into and build upon your internal resources to move past this and attain your goals toward success and wellness.

My background is working with adults who are having difficulties with life stress, depression, and anxiety. Clients like my approach because I am interactive and bring humor to our work together. I tend to be flexible in my approach because I believe that each person needs to follow their own path and needs different things to get there.
