Child Therapists in Shrewsbury, MA
I’m a collaborative therapist who specializes in working with children (5 yrs and older), teenagers, and adults.
Right now, things may feel overwhelming, distressing, and out of sorts with you or your kids. You have probably tried a number of things to get back to normal, but nothing is working out the way you hoped. There may be symptoms like low motivation, difficulty sleeping, lack of socializing, or troubles with work and relationships. Or, perhaps it’s your child you are concerned about because you are seeing a lot of behaviors, such as isolation, withdrawal, moodiness, irritability, difficult peer relationships, or refusing to go to school or participate in the usual routine. If so, I appreciate how challenging it can be to seek support.

Mindfulness based therapeutic strategies are incorporated into the treatment plan to empower the child/teen in gaining awareness, tuning into themselves emotionally, and coping through stressful times.
Like a butterfly emerging into life, a child requires safety, care, and attunement. I believe in supporting child and adolescent emotional growth and developmental processes throughout the life cycle especially when hardships are faced, such as, trauma, bullying, anxiety, and other concerns. My approach is collaborative as I work closely with the parents, schools, and other collaterals involved to enhance over all well-being in every capacity of the child's environment. Always stemming from a strength-based perspective, using Play and Expressive Art Therapies, Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapies, and Somatic Experiencing.

I'm glad you're here! I have openings for Telehealth counseling! We all face challenges and unfortunately, the expectation is - don't talk about it, avoid and distract from the fears and uncomfortable emotions that are triggered. If you're a parent or caregiver, that speaks to another layer of difficulty in coping with your own triggers, as well as what your child or other family member(s) may be struggling with! You are not alone and we are not meant to do life alone. Contact me to receive support to address issues related to ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Parenting challenges, Relationship Issues, Self-Harm & related safety concerns.

“I don’t want to talk about it!” “You wouldn't understand!”...sound familiar? Sometimes your children don’t understand what may be happening either, and communicating that can feel impossible.

I am a hearing therapist fluent in ASL and also specialize in working with deaf youth using play. Play therapy utilizes a variety of interventions, including playing with toys and miniatures or using more expressive art and movement.
