Female Therapists in Concord, MA

From over 30 years of experience, I bring a warm and interactive approach to helping you address emotional issue/s that interfere with living the life you'd like to live. These emotional issues could be depression, trauma, anxiety, divorce, grief, abuse, low-self esteem, etc. I draw from a host of treatment models that I believe will best suit your needs including Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). One model is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) that's particular helpful in facilitating resolution of issues in a shorter amount of time.

Maturity, empathy and well developed listening skills are assets which I offer. I've been especially interested in helping women during pregnancy, and the postpartum period and resolving grief and loss from miscarriages. In addition, addressing issues of depression, anxiety and posttraumatic stress in men or women is especially gratifying to me. I often begin by teaching techniques for stress reduction, or in the case of lethargic depression, ways to energize the body, which help people function better quickly. Most important to me is helping people find hidden strengths and restore inner balance.

I specialize in working with women and older adolescent girls in individual therapy, who are experiencing or interested in working on any of the following: Life Transitions, Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Loss, Parenting, Relationship Issues, Emotional Fulfillment and Finding Spirituality on The Journey To Emotional Healing. I am an active psychodynamic clinician, who utilizes object relations theory, family systems theory and cognitive behavioral techniques. Above all, I value the therapist client relationship. Just as a grain of sand emerges as a pearl, I view life as a transformative experience. The pain of what we are faced with provides opportunity for growth.

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my profile. I provide individual therapy for young adults 18+ and adults to address: recent life transitions or loss; symptoms of anxiety and/or depression; difficulty in relationships; traumatic life events; desire to improve mindset and build positive self esteem. I have treated adults, children and adolescents in a variety of settings including The Trauma Center at JRI and Boston Children's Hospital. I also currently provide group therapy at McLean Hospital. I would be glad to assist you with your goals toward your overall health and well-being.

Life can be complicated and sometimes situations can be difficult to understand. Even in the midst of a calm summer day, a storm can come in out of nowhere and bring chaotic winds to what was still and light. When a storm comes through, nothing looks or feels the same way that it did the day before, and safe spaces need to be found or created while we make sense of what happened. Therapy offers clients a safe space to begin to make sense of such complicated situations, come to a new understanding, create new narratives, and be able to find sustaining safe spaces in their lives outside of therapy.

I am committed to working with children, adolescents, and families who are experiencing various mental health challenges. I work to develop a warm, positive, and trustworthy environment with each client and utilize a collaborative approach to develop goals for treatment. My training includes a postdoctoral fellowship in child and family therapy at the Kennedy Krieger Institute at Johns Hopkins University as well as a postdoctoral fellowship in child and family forensic psychology at William James College.

I assist clients who are wanting to improve their lives in significant ways. While I specialize in treating eating disorders, anxiety and depression, most clients also come to me with related issues of trauma, self-confidence, struggles with change/transition, work, family relationships and other stressors. I see therapy as a collaborative process taking place in the context of an empathic relationship where support and appropriate challenge are offered. I encourage individuals to learn about themselves, understand the meaning behind symptoms and develop skills that enable them to take positive action toward well-being.

My clients are typically between the ages of 18-35, navigating college or the beginning of their professional career. They often experience immense pressure around expectations they have set for themselves, or someone else has set for them. They may experience anxiety or depression and are eager to explore coping skills and treatment options. They are interested in identifying the ways in which their relationships, responsibilities, family culture and current life stage plays a role in how they function in the world around them.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Do you feel like something is off or missing from your life? Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you feel stuck? Have you been feeling tired, frustrated, anxious, worried, and/or sad? If you are searching on here you are seeking help and in the right place. If you are looking for a therapist you are most likely seeking change and relief. Life is short and you should enjoy it but stress can interfere with this, so let me help you. I can help.

​Welcome! I am a Licensed Psychologist and Health Service Provider (Massachusetts Lic. #9724) delivering in-office, community-based, and tele-psychology (e.g., HIPAA-compliant video conferencing) services to children, teens, parents, and educators. ​Utilizing psychological science, I work to promote mental health and wellness in 3-17 year olds. I invest a great deal of time with young patients and their families up front, which allows for well-informed, high quality interventions.

With extensive training in eating disorders and performance psychology, I am interested in supporting adults and adolescents in their search for wellness and authenticity. This can entail exploring the root of school-based and somatic issues, partnering with clients on their recovery journeys, nurturing growth and strength in times of anxiety and depression, assisting with transitions, or fostering identity development. My style of practice is holistic, strengths-based and creative, and is infused with warmth and cultural competence. Please note that my canine good citizen, Theo the Bloodhound, is often present to provide support.

I work collaboratively with families, couples, and individuals who wish to make changes in their lives, to feel better and more aligned with their life goals. Couples may seek therapy to resolve conflicts and renew connections with one another as couples and parents. I work with individuals who identify as having social, emotional, or learning challenges. I bring attention to the body as key to understanding emotions and knowledge of self. I am respectful and curious about you. I use collaborative and trauma-focused approaches to guide your discovery, presuming competency in your path and process toward change.

As a Neuropsychologist and Licensed Psychologist, I can help you find answers and solutions to your questions and concerns about learning, attention, memory, organization, language, and other cognitive skills; academic skills like reading, writing, and math; and/or social-emotional factors in yourself or your child. My neuropsychology practice is warm and welcoming, and focused on understanding your or your child's profile so that we will identify the best specific and personalized recommendations to address your needs. I work with children (age 6 and in at least first grade and up), teens, college students, and adults.
