For family discipline concerns I offer children and the adults both structure and understanding so that they learn to make workable choices and take on positions of willing responsibility.
Most of us want to be in connection. We want to be known and acknowledged for our strengths and contributions and to be safely understood for our vulnerabilities. How can this happen? Supportive work in therapy brings that knowing awareness into play. We build trust; we listen more. Mutual respect replaces resentments, anger, and the defeat of resignation. There emerges readiness to experience comfort, ease in interactions, and confidence to handle life's situations with increased skill. Intimacy, vibrancy, and laughter naturally find a place again in our experience of each other and in the ups and downs of life.

I enjoy working with families, children, adolescents and adults, particularly those impacted by stress, anxiety, ADHD and mood disorders.
In my experience I have found that the therapeutic relationship is the most important element of a successful therapeutic experience. I use a client centered, non-judgemental approach to meet my clients where they are at and help them get to where they want to be. Our world has become increasingly stressful and as a result people are dealing with high levels of stress, anxiety and depression. I believe people are resilient and we try to work through these things on our own to the best of our ability. Therapy can offer a place of support, help and reassurance as the face the challenges of day to day life.

Child psychologists in Beverly, MA provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results.

The best child therapists in Beverly build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
