Lesbian Therapists in Bedford, MA
Your relationship used to be fantastic. You and your partner felt connected; had fun together; and could talk about anything. More recently, things haven’t been going as well, and you don’t want them to get worse. You still love each other, but you’re having more disagreements. Perhaps the busyness of life has left you with less quality time together and feeling a little lonely or unappreciated. You want to reconnect, but miscommunication keeps getting in the way. Alternatively, your relationship is doing well, and you’d like a “tune-up” to keep it that way, so it doesn’t go bad like other relationships you see.

I think it is extremely courageous to admit we need help. I believe one of the most important criteria for successful treatment is to have a trusting, open, "therapeutic rapport" with a client. Without trust and a good connection, the therapeutic process cannot begin. With that in mind, I believe the first step is creating an environment safe from judgement and rich in support. My focus is to enable clients to acquire insight, skills, and motivation for emotional, cognitive, and behavioral transitions.I specialize in older adolescent and adult individual therapy as well as family and couples counseling.

I identify as a neurodiverse (ND) autistic psychologist. Like many, I discovered at midlife I’m on the “invisible” end of the spectrum. I now specialize in assisting other ND/autistic adults & their allies as they a) explore identity/diagnosis, b) cope with ongoing life adjustments/ND burnout & c) make informed choices about how/when it is safe to “unmask.” I help clients: identify personal life/career-related challenges, build upon strengths, & make constructive changes to create a ‘right-sized’ life. I’m a multicultural-educated ally & offer affirming space for marginalized folx (BIPOC, LGBTQAI+, ENM/polyamory, differently-abled).

Our bodies are made to move. Research shows that our bodies and our minds respond to being in Nature. What better way to heal and regulate our nervous systems than by walking in Nature? Join me in nature-based therapy where we " walk and talk" or "sit and talk" together in Nature. We walk or sit together in the open meadows or wooded trails that are near the rivers and ponds of the Concord/Acton area. Using mindfulness and guided imagery practices while embraced by Nature, I help my clients find wholeness.

Everyone experiences difficulties in their lives and finds ways to "get through it." Getting through it is only one step in the journey. You want to move past life's hardships. I know that difficulties come in all shapes and sizes, from broken hearts or unexpected losses of people or jobs to life-threatening emergencies or rape. I often see that people who "get through it" or "white knuckle it" are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and unsatisfying relationships.

I am a psychologist with 25 years of experience working with adults and adolescents. At times, people seek therapy because their needs feel urgent and immediate: They are acutely sad, are dealing with loss, or are confronted with a challenging decision. At other times, the quest for treatment reflects a subtle but persistent experience that something in a person's life is missing or imbalanced. The demands and intricacies of daily life intensify these challenges. I can help you to become clearer about who you are and what you want in the midst of them.

In over twenty-five years of working with adolescents and adults in schools and clinics, I have learned that people seek therapy because they are struggling to manage overwhelming emotions and experiences. Therapy offers the opportunity to explore symptoms like depression and anxiety with another person, so these feelings can be tolerated and understood. As you investigate your patterns of relating, your coping strategies, and your resources, you will develop new perspectives and recognize your own capacities.

Our broad goal––of course––is “the end of unnecessary suffering.” Sound about right? While we all strive for this, I specialize in helping folks with a very-unique kind of suffering: OCD. I can tell you that few people understand the pain and complexity of OCD—(even most therapists). I will listen intently to your unique story. Just know that I can introduce you to an arsenal of tools that can help: mindfulness, ERP (exposure and response prevention) and on and on. Yes, thoughts can be “sticky.” But––with hard work––if (or when) those thoughts come back around…they can be as quiet & as harmless as a yellow post-it.
