Waitlist for new clients
I work with children 4-18, adults, and older adults.
Hello, I’m so glad you’re here! I recognize that beginning therapy and sharing your story with someone new can feel overwhelming. If you are here seeking support for yourself and/or your child, you have already taken a courageous first step. My approach is client-centered and flexible, tailored to best meet your needs. I strive to provide a warm and safe space that you want to return to each week. I pull from various evidence-based modalities and incorporate holistic practices when appropriate. I believe that oftentimes the most effective treatment engages the mind as well as the body, as trauma is so often stored within.

I have extensive experience with adults, children, adolescents, and families and have enjoyed seeing so many people evolve into self-assured individuals.
Change is good, but change is also hard! In my experience, therapy is about working with individuals to help them reach their life goals, despite obstacles and maximize their potential. Despite the hard work involved, my mission is for therapy to be a positive experience. Simply stated, it should be a collaborative effort based on problem solving, support and the exchange of ideas. Additionally, treatment needs to be developed in the context of a person's life experiences and history. My hope is as treatment progresses individuals can move forward with what they have learned to independently facilitate future change.

Psychological, psychoeducational and neuropsychological testing is useful when children have difficulties learning or when they struggle with behavioral, emotional or social issues.
Are there times you think your child is capable of better performance in school? Do you feel your child's academic performance is slipping and are you looking for a way to identify educational problems and address them? Neuropsychological and psycho-educational testing may be the answer. I provide comprehensive neuropsychological testing services to preschoolers through young adults. My test battery and report help uncover the underlying causes of academic underachievement such as ADHD, motor skills disorders, communication disorders, mood disorders, disruptive behavior disorders, pervasive developmental disorders, congenital learning disabilities (LD), inadequate education or a combination of these factors.

I'm especially knowledgeable in parenting and I have extensive experience with children under age 12 as well as teens and adults.
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.- Charles Swindoll Having worked in this field for nearly 30 years, my experience helps me to understand my clients and to draw upon practical ideas for ways to manage the situation at hand. It's all in the way you look at it, what you focus on, and doing what you can to control the situation. Knowing the past is helpful to understand the present, but it's not always helpful for making changes. I will work with you to identify what you would like to see happen, and how to get as close to that result as possible.

I enjoy working with all ages. Over the last 20 years I have worked with children,tweens,adolescents,adults,couples and their families. Creating a therapeutic environment, which is safe,non-judgemental and caring, is one of my main goals. Every individual has a unique set of circumstances. This requires a personalized intervention to create the changes needed to gain the insight to better understand themselves and others. Once becoming empowered with the skills to feel confident about themselves and their environment they soon find life becomes more managable and easier to navigate through.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Fitchburg, 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. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Fitchburg 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.
