Therapists in Natick, MA

Our group practice, Prosper Health, focuses exclusively on autistic adults. I have unique experience with autism, being someone who has studied the subject at Boston University (Doctorate in Education and Master's in Social Work), having experience working with such clients for 12 years, and having raised a son with autism (many years as a single parent).

I conduct neuropsychological and psychological testing with children, adolescents and adults with a variety of cognitive, developmental and psychological difficulties. Through the evaluation process, I will provide you with answers about your or your child's diagnosis, suggest the best treatments and provide access to accommodations in school or on standardized tests. I am confident that you will walk away with not only a new understanding of your or your child's struggles but also increased confidence to address those struggles effectively.

My approach to treatment is to create a space that is supportive and empathetic so that the client will be in a place to build rapport, explore issues that are interfering with their quality of life, and develop a better sense of goals and the means to reach them. I operate from a Strength-based and Cognitive-behavioral therapy lens with elements of other modalities.

I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for children, teens and adults. I specialize in treating anxiety based disorders including obsessive compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, performance anxiety. separation anxiety and phobias. In addition I have expertise on treating trichotillomania (hair pulling) and skin picking, tics and PANDAS. My approach is family based involving parents in the treatment to support the treatment.

I believe the role of a therapist is to be more than a reflective and empathetic companion in the client’s journey and must also incorporate directive approaches in order to alternate between being a companion and being a leader on that journey. Inherent in this belief is that clients are coming to therapy because they want something different than what they currently have. This can be as simple as a new perspective on a past or current struggle or as complex as a new skill set for managing and overcoming emotional, behavioral, cognitive, relational, or somatic patterns that have arisen in response to emotional distress.

My role as their therapist is to be a companion wherever they take me, while honoring the very real obligations that they answer to.
