Child Therapists in Lincoln, MA
The ideal client is motivated to continue to work with their inner child to become grounded in the present moment. They may have anxiety, mood disorders, or personality disorders, or they may not be sure what is underlying their experience, which I can help identify as well. The ideal clients are open to trying new methods of healing, including arts and spirituality. They are willing to trust me with their feelings and express them, whether that is verbally, through the expressive arts, or both.

I offer in-person work with children, and a combination of in-person and telehealth appointments with parents.
Are you a parent who has a struggling child and you don’t know how to help them? Do you want to be a great parent but feel like you don’t speak your child’s language? Children have so much to say, and adults often don’t understand their language. I help young children communicate how they are feeling, and partner with their parents to support them.

I have provided psychotherapy focused on anxiety, depression and trauma for over 30 years. During that time, I have worked with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My focus is on helping my clients to see their own strengths and use them to reduce their symptoms, allowing them to become unstuck and move forward to establish happier, healthier lives. I have a strong focus on transitions of all types. These include the transitions of adolescents from childhood to young adulthood, and the difficulty inherent in transitioning from being the parent of a toddler, to being the parent of a challenging adolescent.

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 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.

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.

I believe modern children and young people experience life at a sensory level that would confuse, exhaust and overwhelm most adults.
Now offering counseling appointments for pre-schoolers, children, teens & young adults for part-time summer and the 2024-25 school/college-year. The young people I see often have difficulty with impulsivity and self-regulation; anxiety, depression and low esteem; or are unable to focus. There may be social anxiety and feeling isolated from peers. Kids can get discouraged, disappointed or frustrated at school/home, giving up and withdrawing or resorting to behaviors that hurt them or get them into trouble. Kids really do want to do well, to succeed, to please others and feel loved. It is my pleasure to be with them during this time.

For the past 15 years I have worked with children, adolescents and adults with ASD, depression, anxiety and trauma. These individuals are often impacted by emotional dysregulation, which limits their potential and reduces their ability to participate and succeed in specific environments. My clients often internalize their perceived deficits and have identified themselves as being “less than” or “not good enough”. My work focuses on supporting abilities, recognizing strengths, honoring differences and valuing uniqueness while providing opportunities to observe their patterns of behavior that inhibit them from taking action.
