Grief Therapists in Concord, MA

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.

My expertise is in the area of major loss (illness, aging, dying, significant life change, bereavement ) also caregiving and end-of-life planning. Such challenges are often overwhelming, even immobilizing. A person can feel they have hit a brick wall, and may feel depressed, hopeless, anxious or numb. When they are able to be present to it they may discover surprising gifts, such as inner resources they might not know are there, ways to take better care of themselves, and new understanding of what is most important to them. Some people find that, amazingly, life can be transformed in ways that make it richer than ever.

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. In the past few years, I have integrated neurofeedback into my practice, and integrate it with my expertise in several therapies that help resolve even longstanding difficulties. My experience has shown that healing and change truly are possible!

People seek out therapy for different reasons. You may be experiencing difficulty coping with a life transition, anxiety, depression, stress, changing moods, bereavement , or addiction, or you may just want to learn more about yourself and the way you perceive and interact with the world. Whatever your goals for therapy are—I will create a positive space for you to experience growth and personal fulfillment and we will work together to identify and navigate any obstacles that may be keeping you stuck. I will assist you in developing the tools and skills needed to better understand and resolve your concerns.
