Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Danvers, MA

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and able to serve clients in the states of FL, AK, MO, and MA. I am passionate about working with adults who are ready to explore their vulnerabilities and become better versions of themselves. I understand that taking that first step to ask for help is the hardest, and that all the hurt, frustration, and pain that brought you to this point are all valid! In my office you can expect to be able to share your experiences in an open and safe environment.

Most people arrive at therapy carrying something they've never said out loud. My job is to make saying it possible by being someone worth trusting with it.

I've been a practicing counselor for over a decade. I also teach and supervise the next generation of therapists, which keeps me sharp and current. But experience and credentials aren't what makes the work good. What makes therapy work is that I'm a real person in the room with you: direct when that helps, quiet when that helps more. I will never ask you to do something I'm not willing to do myself.

My education isn't limited to my degrees. My clients have taught me more about resilience, compassion, and what it means to live fully than any program did. I hold that as sacred, and I take you as seriously as I take that.

As a Master's level therapist(MSW) and Licensed Alcohol & Drug Counselor I(LADC I) with 20 years of experience treating substance use disorders, I understand the anguish addiction causes. I treat substance addictions and mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, personality disorders and other addictions such as nicotine, gambling & gaming. You decide your level of recovery. No pressure. Questions? Please ask me!

Looking for a therapist who'll be honest with you — not just agreeable? I offer direct, compassionate care, all from the comfort of wherever you are. I'll validate what you're feeling when it needs to be heard, and gently challenge you when it's time to look at things differently. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we'll work together to reshape the narratives keeping you stuck and help you see your life through a new lens.

I work with people of all ages who are trying to make sense of what's going on in their lives and figure out what needs to change. They may be dealing with stress, relationship difficulties, major transitions, attention or learning difficulties, or patterns they've struggled to change on their own. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years working in business and other practical, people-focused roles, which gave me a firsthand understanding of the competing demands and pressures of everyday life.

What should your client know about you?

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 15 years of experience working with adolescents and adults across a range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. I also work with individuals with Neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Intellectual Developmental Disorder (IDD), learning disorders, and communication disorders.

I strive to help clients by being curious, kind, reliable, and insightful. This is how I believe therapy helps people to grow, and to ultimately feel better about themselves and their lives.

I primarily work through a psychodynamic lens, focusing on a client's emotional life, exploring connections between a client's past and present, and addressing internal conflicts. I also use ideas found in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy such as exploring thought patterns and negative core beliefs.

I am a creative, strengths-based, and empowering clinical mental health counselor who believes deeply in each person’s capacity for growth, resilience, and transformation. My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Humanistic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Experiential Therapy, and Positive Psychology. I also work from a person-centered lens, prioritizing what matters most to you as we navigate your unique path toward healing and clarity.

I bring seven years of experience in crisis intervention, which has strengthened my ability to remain grounded, compassionate, and steady during life’s most challenging moments. As I transition into work focused on ongoing therapeutic relationships, I am excited to partner with clients who are ready to step into their growth, explore new perspectives, and become the best version of themselves.

As a Christian, my faith shapes my worldview, and I am comfortable integrating spirituality into the counseling process for clients who desire it. My goal is always to meet clients where they are, honor their values, and support their journey with respect and intention.

I look forward to empowering you to step outside your comfort zone, build meaningful insight, and cultivate the life you were created to live.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts with dual graduate degrees from the University of Pennsylvania—an M.S.Ed. in Mental Health Services and an M.S.PHL in Professional Counseling. I’m passionate about supporting individuals through challenges related to anxiety, trauma, and relationships. My multicultural background and specialized training in evidence-based practices for emotion regulation and trauma-informed care inform my compassionate and collaborative approach to therapy. I offer evening sessions Mon–Thu for adults after work and after-school sessions for kids/teens, in-person or online.

I’ve spent the last two decades partnering with people from completely different backgrounds. No two people are the same, so I tailor everything to your specific needs and goals. My style is pretty laid-back, and I love learning from my clients. Most importantly, I don't shrink away from the tough stuff, we can talk about anything here
