Perhaps you are seeking therapy due to anxiety, depression, parenting, interpersonal, or other stressors and want to improve your life. You may be struggling with social anxiety, excessive worrying, sadness, low self esteem, trauma, loneliness, gender identity, or family problems. Whether you are trying to cope with a more recent stressor or struggling with these issues for years, I am happy to support you in living your happiest, calmest, and most positive and authentic life.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents with anxiety, identity development, school related challenges and parents in need of coaching and support. My therapy approach is a collaboration of helping my clients develop self-compassion, coping skills and a better understanding of themselves. My 25 years of experience as a clinician has been both in private practice and as a counselor in the Lexington Public Schools for 23 years. I have expertise in navigating the public school system in the areas of Special Education and 504.

I believe therapy is a tool for clients to be empowered and supported as they work toward their personal goals and cope with whatever life has thrown their way. I enjoy partnering with my clients as they strive to make meaning of these many challenges experienced across various stages in life. I have worked extensively with LGBTQ+ clients, those hailing from diverse backgrounds, as well as those working through trauma, anxiety, and depression. I am also interested to work with clients managing burnout in various high-pressure professions, and have extensive experience working with marginalized communities.

Do things feel out of control? Maybe you're searching for someone to help support your child's mental health. Maybe the tension between you and your partner erupts into conflict too often. Maybe you don't feel like yourself anymore..... whatever the situation, you decided to reach out for some support. That's an amazing first step. I understand - opening up to a stranger can be terrifying! I try my best to make it less so. I’m a relational therapist - this means that who I am is part of the work I do. I come to this work with my own insecurities and vulnerabilities.

The biggest determinant of a positive outcome is the quality of therapist and the therapeutic relationship with the client. My clients get better: Couples and families seeking healing progress in relationships. Adults dealing with challenging times in their lives. Students with anxiety, depression, identity issues, and stress management, Together we set goals and work towards those goals, building skills (communication, self-reflection, resiliency), identifying triggers and pre-gaming difficult social interactions, experiencing success from changes in attitude and behavior, making steps toward better functioning and happiness.

Not accepting new referrals at this time. Are you looking for a safe place to address feelings and behaviors that seem overwhelming? With a direct and gentle approach, and over twenty five years of experience, I offer the space you need to feel safe and begin to notice your own life patterns. Getting unstuck means developing increased awareness and finding new ways of being in our relationship with ourselves and others. I work with people to address concerns from sadness, grief, loss, trauma, depression, shame, low motivation, excessive worry, eating disorders, and adjustment to the many challenges and transitions in life.

Conflict in relationships is normal. But prolonged conflict can break even the most successful relationships. If you or your partner perceives, feels and experiences this conflict in a harmful manner the two of you need to see a "Relationship Expert" who can help you master "Healthy Interactions". Couple therapy provides a safe, mediated environment to not only explore your emotions and perceptions but implement "Effective Tools" to create permanent change. I am a big believer in homework and accountability. Your time with me will not be wasted and I expect my clients to work hard.

Feeling depressed, anxious, and unable to concentrate. Perhaps your life isn't going in the direction you had hoped it would. Life can get difficult at times and counseling can truly make all the difference. I have over 15 years of counseling experience and draw upon solution focused treatment to help you start living the life you love. I invite you to call for an initial free phone consult. I work with children, adults, couples and families.

My practice focuses on helping individuals and couples improve and strengthen their relationships. At different points in our lives we face new challenges. Even our most wonderful life transitions may also cause tension and stress in our interactions with family members, friends and colleagues. Therapy can help. I have expertise working with depression, anxiety, sexual abuse, trauma, and loss. Support is provided for those coping with infertility and perinatal loss. I partner with people to overcome their creative and spiritual struggles, and work with individuals to reconcile their religious background with their current practice, lifestyle or beliefs.

I am a clinical psychologist in Concord, MA and also teach and supervise through Harvard Medical School, where I've been an instructor for over 20 years. I specialize in college students and adults who have been struggling with depression, anxiety, and other emotional symptoms that have interfered with work/school and relationships. I also work with adolescents who seem angry, unhappy or who are struggling in school. If you (or your child) have felt stuck and unhappy and want to move to a happier, more satisfying and productive place, I can help. I see clients in person, on Zoom, or some combination of both.

As a clinical psychologist, I work with people to find ways to create change in their lives. Clients bring a range of concerns, from developing a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships, to adjusting to significant life events such as career change and retirement, parenting, divorce or marriage, or medical illness. While I may have access to experience and strategies that have helped others, I know it is my clients who are the experts on their own lives, and ultimately the ones who create their own change.

I am a caring, compassionate, professional therapist, highly experienced in providing individual, couples, family, and group therapy. My greatest asset is that I am highly committed to work with you in helping you experience relief from emotional pain, find fulfillment and love in your relationships with others, as well as peace, acceptance, and joy in your relationship with yourself. I consider my work my life's work. My clients find strength within themselves and in their relationships, as they seek to live with understanding and love more effectively each day. I am honored to be part of your journey.
