Teletherapy for Concord, MA

I specialize in working with couples who are experiencing difficulties. No partnership is without disappointments, confusion, and an experience of minor or major betrayals. Yet these predictable challenges invite us to broaden our capacity for understanding and enter new depths of intimacy as we repair and heal. As a marriage and family therapist with a focus on sexuality I believe that no matter what the difficulty, we can reshape our relationships to have the kind of deep connections we yearn for. I help couples strengthen relationship skills and develop tools to end negative patterns and establish deep intimacy.

With 35 years as a teacher and clinician, I maintain a multi-specialty practice, applying the evidence-based principles of MI/CBT to problems ranging from sleep health, anxiety, cannabis misuse to sports performance. In addition to my expertise in health and sports psychology, I specialize in the assessment and treatment of individuals on the autistic spectrum disorder. I work with individuals of all ages, and adopt a shared decision-making approach to treatment, employing an array of evidence based best practices.

Entering therapy requires courage and curiosity. What makes therapy important to me now? What do I really want from this experience? Am I ready to challenge myself? Am I prepared to invest the resources needed to make change? What are the consequences of not changing? These questions will provide a roadmap for therapy. I'm a resourceful therapist with many years of experience working with individuals and couples who have chosen to improve their relationships and lives. While the work of therapy can be challenging, the payoff can be amazing. You deserve a collaborative place to be supported in your desire to evolve and heal.

Accepting New Clients. You want to appear like you’ve got it all together, but deep down you are struggling to feel confident in who you are. You’re someone who is decisive in your career, but still find yourself sad and anxious, struggling with relationships, and feeling undervalued by loved ones. Each day feels like the one before it, questioning when you’ll finally break the cycle of feeling down about yourself. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to restore your inner peace. You’re ready to reclaim the confidence that you used to have. Most of all, you’re ready to feel joy once again. I want to help you get there.

Are you up at 2am worried about your child's future? Finding a therapist who gets you and what you are going through can be tough. Whether you or your teen are navigating LGBTQ+ identity, recovering from trauma, or managing anxiety or mood swings, you'll find our support grounded in empathy and understanding. I offer parent coaching for caregivers striving to support their child post-coming out, a journey that can feel overwhelming without the right tools. With a wealth of experience in assisting queer and trans youth and their families, I'm committed to guiding you. Let me support you so you don't have to worry or wonder alone.

Do you feel isolated, as if you are floating in an endless abyss of uncomfortable and painful sensations? Or sometimes the opposite is true and you have uncontrollable restless energy despite how exhausted you really are. You know you are somewhere between being stuck in place or stuck in motion constantly running away from your thoughts, and you just want to feel better. You want to feel in control of yourself, understand who you are, and to have agency over your life. You don't expect everything to be perfect, but you want to feel better about yourself, your relationships, and the possibilities for your life.

​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.

Sometimes we're not our "best selves." We change in ways we're not happy about, or, don't change in ways we'd like to. We feel too sad, disoriented, mad, anxious, numb, ashamed; we have one too many, too often. Job performance can suffer, relationships can wobble, getting to sleep (or out of bed) can become a chore. Life can fade in color, or, become too colorful. Together you and I can find a flashlight for your dark corners, and a negotiated, generative space from which to address painful, sometimes scary and/or frustrating situations and feelings.

I believe the reasons that bring you to seek therapy can provide an opportunity for growth and change for the better. In my practice I create an environment where my clients feel respected and heard. My collaborative and open orientation is toward healing and personal growth. It is based on the belief that we are capable of change, and finding new adaptive ways of overcoming our challenges and getting unstuck. I will work with you to help enhance your coping skills, functioning, creativity and vitality, as well as gain relief from symptoms and stress, and develop strategies for self-care.

I provide transformational coaching for adults who are feeling unmotivated, unfocused, or stuck in their lives, whether it's around vocation, relationships, money, time, or health. I have worked as a therapist for over 35 years, and I am trained in the principles and practices for transformation. I also created Thriving Families, a unique family coaching program for parents who feel overwhelmed frustrated, or hopeless regarding their family. I support them in healing where needed, and then help them to create both an individual and a family vision. Children and teens are invited to do the same.

Are you looking for help conquering your anxiety? Are you suffering from a medical or stress related condition? We'll work together using the most effective techniques to help you feel better, sooner. I have a proven track record for helping my clients to reduce their symptoms and regain a sense of control over their lives. My therapeutic style is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and I incorporate the use of biofeedback, relaxation techniques and self-hypnosis, to help my clients foster change and master their well-being.

Are you or a loved one struggling with a problematic relationship to cannabis, alcohol, nicotine, stimulants, and other addictive substances or behaviors? I work with teens and adults to initiate positive change by establishing a personalized treatment plan based on their individual needs. I bring judgement-free compassion and over 15 years of clinical experience in substance use and mental health treatment to help navigate the difficult terrain of addiction. I also work with families to help them identify their own recovery, learn how to communicate with and support their loved one while maintaining healthy boundaries.

Many young people who come to meet with me are apprehensive about therapy. They might worry that I will be silent, expecting them to fill the space with what's difficult to express. Alternatively, they might have encountered therapists who speak more than listen, resulting in a session that feels like a class. Therapy is an investment of time and resources. If you're willing to open yourself up to me, I can promise you that you will be heard, and I will engage authentically. My job is to help you grow to weather emotional storms and build the life you want.

You come to therapy seeking change and personal growth. You want more contentment with yourself and your life. Something is not working well for you. It might be relationships. It might be school, career, or retirement. It could be that you find your thought or behavior patterns are not helpful. You might have had a loss or trauma and need to heal. You might be experiencing a life change or issue that is very challenging. Maybe you have symptoms of depression or anxiety that you have been unable to resolve. We work together to clarify your therapy goals.

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 understand and implement goals for their relationships 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 systemic and trauma-focused approaches to guide your discovery, presuming competency in your path and process toward change.

This business of being human can be hard. We live in stressful times and its easy to get overwhelmed. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression or challenges with substance abuse, I can help. I’m a licensed counselor, trained as an MBSR teacher by the UMass Center for Mindfulness with over a decade of experience practicing mindfulness meditation. I use a powerful combination of empathic listening, cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based coping skills to help you make major and lasting change in your life.
