About Me

That's me and my little brother

That’s me and my little brother!

I’m a survivor

I grew up in a family where there was alcohol and drug abuse, domestic violence, mental illness and poverty. As a young girl, I felt as if I was different from everyone else and I was ashamed of what was happening in my home.

I experienced severe anxiety and depression when I was in college which resulted in more feelings of shame and embarrassment. Fortunately, I found a wonderful therapist who helped me to understand my feelings. I came to understand that what I had experienced as a child was trauma. The lingering effect of trauma impacted my sense of safety, security and self esteem.

Therapy helped me to shed layers of shame, learn ways to calm my nervous system and to create a new life for myself. I am living proof that our past does not determine our future.

I wanted to help others feel the same so I became a therapist.

Hi, I’m Beverly.


I am committed to helping people heal from traumatic and painful experiences so that they can create the life that they’ve always wanted.

In my practice, you will be supported as you courageously explore the parts of you that hold sadness, emotional pain and insecurities.

I help people resolve symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression and grief so that they can move on with their life and finally…

thrive!

You’ve Tried Therapy Before But Nothing Seemed to “Stick”

  • Every session felt like a rehash of the last one

  • You learned some things about yourself but never figured out why you are in so much pain and distress or what to do about it.

  • The only tools your therapist offered were deep breathing, journaling or cognitive behavioral therapy.

  • You weren’t making real improvement - even after months or years in therapy.

  • Was your therapist more intrigued by your story but less helpful with helping you heal from your experiences?

  • You don’t feel you’ve ever really done deep work to obtain deep healing - and you’re ready now.

When Success Doesn't Silence the Struggle

You’ve built a life others admire — yet inside, you feel stuck, anxious, or burned out.

Through trauma-informed therapy using IFS and EMDR, I help you heal from within, reconnect with your true Self, and lead your life with clarity and confidence.

You are not broken. You are whole.

I offer traditional weekly therapy sessions (55 minutes) which may be covered by your insurance (BCBS or Aetna only). I also offer Extended Therapy sessions (Intensives) for which I do not accept insurance.

Show up exactly as you are.

Get Comfortable

Feel free to bring a drink or a snack. Most likely, I will be sipping on my favorite beverage - coffee.

Bring a blanket, a special object, a photo of someone special. If that’s what your nervous system needs to feel safe - it is welcomed in this space.

If seeing your therapist in jeans and a T shirt makes you uncomfortable then I am not the therapist for you. You may even see me in workout attire. I practice what I preach - physical movement is part of the healing process.

The way that I dress has zero to do with my ability to help you. The way that you show up has zero to do with your ability to do the work and to heal. Wear clothes that you feel good in, whether that is workout attire, shorts, jeans…come as your authentic self.
