Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Plymouth, MA

Hi there, I am so glad you are here! I look forward to the possibility of working with you or your child. I am here to support each and every one of my clients in being the best version of themselves that is possible. An area of focus in my practice is children and adolescents impacted by trauma and neuro-developmental diversity. In addition, I work with many parents/caregivers of young children who, due to their children's circumstances and other life stressors, are struggling themselves. I look forward to connecting and working together.

I earned a Bachelor's degree in psychology from University of Massachusetts, Lowell, in 1989. I obtained my Master's degree in mental health counseling form Suffolk University in 1993. I completed my certification in graduate studies in counseling at Lesley University in 2006.

I am committed to helping individuals connect with their unique and authentic selves. I believe we all deserve to live the best life possible. Engaging in therapy is a pathway to successfully living our best life. I am qualified to help with trauma, grief, mood disorders, personality disorders, family issues and life changes that occur with all of us as we transition and grow.

I believe that each person has the potential to live the life they truly want and that lasting change is possible. As a strengths-based therapist, I help a client find their strengths are built on and utilized in therapy to help the client work through the difficulties they are experiencing. I create a space where you can tell me anything without fear of judgment or me telling you how you should live life. Therapy is an interactive process and it shouldn’t look the same for each person. I love helping people build their confidence and becoming more assertive. I want to help you build the skills to live your life to the fullest!

Seeking therapy can be a difficult step for most, but is often the first step towards healing and growth.

I believe in clients being the experts of their own experiences and offer a safe and supportive environment to explore opportunities for change and to establish new skills to support overall mental health and wellness.

The past few years have been really tough! Did you feel like you had it all together & then the rug was pulled out from under you? Maybe you experienced trauma when you were younger & thought you had moved past it. Now you feel frustrated, isolated, & alone. Maybe you are feeling triggered by your kids, spouse, partner, parents, or friends. You love them, but the pandemic has caused you to want to take a month-long vacation from them! You have tried dealing with your anxiety, anger, stress, all on your own but you are struggling to stay afloat-yelling at loved ones, working too much.

I have been working as a licensed clinician in a variety of settings for over 25 years. My philosophy is to help individuals to identify their strengths, their learning and thought patterns, and help them to achieve personal goals. I believe that all people have the right to feel happy and to be successful in this world, and recognize that there are many obstacles that may interfere. I am very interested in the role of movement and nature in mental health, and offer walk/run/outdoor therapy as well as telehealth. In addition, I am trained in CBT, DBT, mindfulness, IFS therapy and traditional psychotherapy.

Private pay, superbills available. I offer EMDR weekly or Intensive sessions for the treatment of trauma symptoms. Unprocessed traumatic memories can become stuck in the body, leading to distress and dysregulation in many forms: panic, anxiety, depression, irritability, flash anger, numbness, loss of connection with others. Neurological research show that the rhythmic horizontal eye movements used in EMDR reduce the activity in the brain's fear circuits, allowing allowing our brain and our nervous system to do the healing work they are capable of. Wondering if this is for you or if your story "counts" as trauma? Let's connect.
