Child Therapists in Acton, MA
I partner with individuals, couples and families. I firmly believe that a positive relationship with a therapist can help you lead a more fulfilling life. I help clients to manage grief, depression, anxiety, and stress from transitions. These feelings are expected and can be difficult to manage when you lose a loved one, a relationship, when becoming parents or when having professional challenges. I know the decision to seek support is not an easy one. Please know that it is my priviledge to bear witness to your story and I look forward to partnering with you to process the intense feelings you may be experiencing.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in private practice with over a decade of experience working with adolescents and their families in their homes and in the community. In addition to working with adolescents and their family's I see young adults ages 18-35 virtually. I do my best work with adolescents who “don’t like therapy” or who have struggled to connect or engage with other therapists in the past. This happens for lots of reasons–but one major one is that sometimes sitting in an office staring at one another just feels too threatening.

I enjoy working with adults and teens looking to clarify goals, work more effectively with challenging emotions, and, using Mary Oliver's eloquent words, help them answer the question "what do you plan to do with your one wild and precious life." I use strength-based approaches to help clients set and achieve goals and boost happiness. Having experience as a school-based therapist and as a parent, I am helpful as a parent coach/mentor/therapist and enjoy working with teens regarding school-related challenges.

To establish a relationship with a therapist takes time and can be rewarding when you are able to build trust, knowing you are able to confide and share your perspective, your story. This process allows the individual the opportunity to gain clarity in a setting that is confidential and accepting. All too often emotional/physical pain can have a significant impact on our ability to remain independent, self-reliant, engaged in everyday tasks and life roles at level of independence that is rewarding to oneself and those they care for. As an Occupational Therapist with a background in behavioral health, I take a holistic approach.

With extensive training and certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I love to work collaboratively with clients to help manage life’s tough speed bumps. While I am most interested in working with teens and young adults to increase their insight into their mental health and create a customized toolbox for clients to use in their daily lives, I believe first and foremost that the therapeutic relationship, a sense of humor, and authenticity are the bedrock of the work that we'll do together.

Additionally, I provide consultation to parents looking for help for their child.
When searching for a therapist, either for yourself or for your child, the process can be confusing and frustrating. Finding the right person may be challenging, but it will be worth the effort to find someone you are comfortable with. Ideally therapy will allow you to tell your story and get to the heart of the problems you have been facing. You will be able to build on the knowledge and strengths you already have and ultimately gain the perspective to move through your challenges.
