Therapists in Peabody, MA

Hello, I am a licensed independent clinical social worker in Massachusetts with over 10 years of experience working as a clinician and school social worker. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, social skills, Autism Spectrum Disorders, OCD and ADHD. I have also worked in a residential setting for 4 years where I met with individuals who have experienced physical, sexual, and emotional trauma. My special interests are with children and adolescents where I can help them identify triggers, develop and practice coping strategies, practice mindfulness and implement this into their daily life, improve self-esteem and confidence, and improve communication skills. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental and comfortable space to help guide clients to work through their challenges. It is my belief that the therapeutic relationship formed between the client and therapist is the most essential part of the therapeutic process. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I strongly believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines various modalities that are tailored towards your current needs. We will work together to discuss a treatment plan and strive towards achieving your unique goals. I also have a certified therapy dog, Bauer, who is a 2 year old Goldendoodle. He is a wonderful co-clinician as he often helps clients feel more comfortable during sessions. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
