Therapists in Sudbury, MA

I am glad to support those struggling in today's strange climate, or those looking to explore themselves and increase health and wellness while quarantined. My approach to treatment is strength based and multimodal. I use a holistic approach that can incorporate discussion, art, movement and humor to explore issues. I work well with those who have had trouble connecting with therapists in the past and those who may be resistant to entering treatment.

It is difficult to imagine the ideal client. However, if I were to picture them, I would say they would be open and receptive towards therapy and have a desire to improve themselves. They would want to collaborate with their therapist to understand how stress, the environment, and personal history can impact their mental health. They would want a positive, empathetic relationship because it would encourage them to utilize the techniques they have learned and learn more effective ways to help themselves.

For the past 10+ years I have been in private practice serving kids, adolescents, and adults. I provide neuropsychological and psychodiagnostic assessment and consultation as well as individual and group therapy using a strengths-based approach. Much of my practice focuses on helping Middle School and High School students who are struggling with learning, social, and emotional adjustment through collaboratively identifying the obstacles and challenges they may be facing and helping them to recognize and embrace their qualities and strengths. Evaluation also involves working closely with parents and helping to identify the most appropriate schools, supports, and home strategies.

I believe that healing occurs within the therapeutic relationship and I aim to create a safe and supportive space that nurtures self-growth. As a dance/ movement therapist I prioritize a compassionate and holistic approach that utilizes the mind/ body connection to empower lasting change. I incorporate elements of creative expression, mindfulness, body-awareness, and education regarding symptomatology, along with traditional talk therapy to provide a client- centered approach focused on each individual's needs.

Some people struggle for weeks, months, or even years before considering psychotherapy. And it makes sense — it's hard to confide in a stranger and can take a while to find the right fit. We want authenticity and experience in a therapist but also someone relatable and easy to talk with. When couples counseling, family therapy, or child/adolescent support is needed, the search may seem even more daunting. We need a clinician with the interpersonal skills, temperament, and adaptability to forge a meaningful connection with our partners, children, and the networks who support them.
