Adults Therapists in West Concord, MA

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).

I see adults of all ages and races. I am particularly knowledgeable regarding the difficulties of women in the workplace, and of parents, both male and female. I feel that connection with friends and significant others is essential to health and happiness and I try to help people deal with a society that often works against meaningful relationships.

I have been practicing therapy for over 20 years working with children, families, and adults with a range of mental health concerns. I believe that attaining goals are achieved in a therapeutic relationship where the client feels empowered to make changes. I am rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy and family systems therapy. When working with children, parents are an integral part of the therapy process. I provide tools to manage symptoms; many clients state that they feel the benefit of therapy within the first few sessions.

I work with adults, from college-age to elderly. My practice appeals to people who who not only suffer from symptoms that impede their daily happiness, but those who long to grow in their understanding of themselves and others. I aid in this process by focusing closely on the unique talents each person brings into the room. I look not for what is wrong but what is right and simply ask that they bring an honest willingness to participate in a partnership for change.
