EMDR Therapists in Concord, MA

Please note, I am not currently able to accept new clients. I am a licensed clinical psychologist, providing individual therapy to adults (21 and older). I specialize in the treatment of trauma (PTSD, complex trauma), and also work with anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions, such as divorce, retirement, or return from military deployment. I also provide therapy to LGBTQIA+ and Gender-Diverse individuals navigating aspects of their intersecting identities, and/or gender identity and expression. My interpersonal style is warm, respectful, empathic, and practical.

Unfortunately my practice is often full. I use a warm and collaborative approach, and two decades of clinical experience, I have helped hundreds of adults get relief from a variety of concerns. I am especially helpful in areas of life transitions, anxiety, trauma, and loss. I will actively engage with you to understand the challenge and craft an approach just for you. My experience has shown that healing and change truly are possible!

I strive to help people find a more comfortable and richer relationship with themselves and the world around them. Drawing upon many years of clinical experience and my own personal journey, I assist clients to address their relationship difficulties, internal critics and stuck patterns of behavior with curiosity and compassion. Clients discover the energy within themselves to approach the world with less fear and more playfulness. My priority is always to create a safe, supportive environment. I enjoy getting to know my clients and am very grateful that I get to do the work I do.

I am a seasoned psychologist and psychotherapist with more than 35 years experience. For most of my career I have divided my time between private practice and the training and supervision of family and couples therapists through the former Family Institute of Cambridge where I was a senior faculty member. I have also taught Advanced Family Therapy at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology. Presently I am a private practitioner. I see individuals, couples and families.

Welcome! I am currently accepting new clients. I believe that the relationship between me and my clients is the foundation on which, together, we will help you to understand yourself better, realize the patterns that are holding you back, and make the changes that you decide are enriching for your life. A large portion of my practice focuses on work with clients who struggle with issues related to trauma, attachment, and interpersonal wounding. This has led to an extensive background in many different disorders and presentations. In addition to working with individual clients, I also work with parents, including adoptive parents.

You deserve focused attention and skilled assistance. In my work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families, I provide this attention and assistance through psychotherapy, grief counseling, and coaching, which lead to healing results. If you or your loved one is struggling, feeling stuck, hopeless or trapped, I would welcome the opportunity to hear about you or your loved one's situation and determine if my services are a good match for your needs. I utilize several treatment modalities including psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness based stress reduction, and motivational interviewing, and adapt my treatment style to your unique needs.
