Meridian Psychology Practice offers individual therapy for people with anxiety and depression. We specialize in OCD, BFRB, BPD, panic, and social anxiety. We have providers who also specialize in autism and learning disabilities. We offer individual, group, family, and couples therapy.

I treat all of the body focused repetitive behaviors in adults 18 and over, using Habit Reversal Training, the Comprehensive Behavioral Model (comB), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

I am a licensed clinical psychologist working in Concord, MA (licensed for telehealth in the state of Massachusetts). My therapeutic style is warm, direct, playful, and collaborative in nature. I primarily work with older adolescents, emerging adults, and adults to treat anxiety disorders, and mood disorders, with a specialized focus on treating body focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs). When treating BFRBs, I primarily use the ComB model. I am also trained in DBT, CBT, and ACT, and will incorporate interventions from these treatments when applicable. 

Please note: I work out of a group private practice called The Concord Center. Our practice currently has a waitlist, and all inquiries for services must complete the individual services form at this link: https://www.concordcbt.com/new-patients

My journey into understanding Body-Focused Repetitive Disorders (BFRDs) began in 2006 when my daughter suddenly developed a compulsion after getting a mosquito bite. To help her, I started a support group and became deeply invested in learning about these disorders. Through helping my daughter, I discovered a passion for assisting others facing similar struggles, and that’s when I decided to dedicate my career to this work.

I know how painful and frustrating it can be to deal with a BFRD, especially when you’ve tried to stop and nothing seems to work. It’s even harder when people around you don’t understand why it’s so difficult—they might think it’s as simple as just stopping. But the truth is, BFRDs have an addictive nature, where what hurts you can also feel good, making it a tough cycle to break.

With specialized training in BFRD treatment and an extensive background in addiction recovery, I’m here to help. I use a proven treatment model while also taking a holistic approach that includes mindfulness and self-compassion. My goal is to help you not only move into recovery from your BFRD but also step into a new season of thriving in your life. You don’t have to face this alone.
