Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Beverly, MA

Finding a provider can be challenging, overwhelming, and at times embarrassing. I have been in treatment for over 20 years, which prompted me to want to support other people like me. I am proficient in DBT as these skills have saved my life.

I am a woman in recovery, have been in psychiatric units, have a child with another woman, and attempted to end my life. I am healing everyday and you are part of that process.

I have worked with a variety of populations. I am passionate about working with other mental health professionals struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am honored to work with first responders (fire fighters, police, paramedics, doctors, etc). You are not alone. I understand the complex dynamics associated with seeking help.

I have over 25 years of clinical work experience with adolescents, young adults, and adults of diverse backgrounds. My extensive experience working with adolescents, inspires me to work with youth who may be struggling in ways that their caretakers find overwhelming. Additionally, I have helped parents/caretakers to better manage family life and improve their relationships with their children during difficult times. Each person deserves support so that they can navigate home life and the outside world successfully. My only request is to have hope!

I started specializing in CBT for children in 1998 — and the 28 years since have taken me through residential programs, day treatment, outpatient clinics, and public schools. That breadth of experience means I've worked with people across the full range of what life can throw at someone, and I've learned what actually helps.

In 2021, I completed a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Resiliency in the Helping Professions — deepening my focus on the skills that make change stick: emotional regulation, realistic optimism, and self-compassion. These aren't just techniques. They're the foundation of what I help clients build.

I work with children (ages 6+), adolescents, and adults on anxiety, depression, trauma, ADD/ADHD, family stress, and anger. I'm based in Central Massachusetts and offer telehealth across the state.

Choosing a therapist can be difficult. I like to help my client feels empowered in an affirming environment to meet their needs and goals.
