Does your child struggle with self esteem? Anxiety? Depression? Does your child struggle to communicate their feelings? Do they often put themselves down? Have outbursts of anger or aggression? Do they struggle when knowing how to calm themselves down? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you have come to the right place. Play Therapy is a great place to start! Play Therapy uses play to build connection and establish a positive relationship. Once this has been achieved, a child can begin to identify their issues though play and begin healing.

As a parent and a psychologist, I believe there is nothing more important than the well being of our children. For over thirty years, I have specialized in providing psychological therapy and psychoeducational testing services to children and adolescents in the Winchester area. I believe in the notion that to tap a child's potential, we need to focus on his or her strengths. Psychological testing enables us to determine just what those strenghts are, and if there are significant weaknesses, direct intervention strategies are outlined and put into play. The child's parents are always central in the process.

Therapy is an incredibly vulnerable process that involves stripping down the emotional armor we have collected over years of struggle, insecurity, or fear. For some the idea of therapy feels like the sweetest release and for others this idea feels incredibly intimidating. Often times, individuals present for their first sessions after an acute stressor, a period of prolonged distress, or even a previously failed treatment. Regardless of the precipitating factor, people often enter therapy when they feel hurt and alone. Many come with bruised hearts and tired souls, uncertain of what their struggles mean about their ability to heal.

Are you living on "auto-pilot," feeling like you need to "keep it together" or just endure it alone? You don't have to! It takes wisdom and great courage to face the hard things in life, to seek healing, and hope. It IS possible! I've seen it happen in my own life and for countless clients!
