I specialize in treating children and adolescents, with a focus on boys given that parents tend to primarily send me their boys. Most of my training during and after graduate school focused on the treatment of children and adolescents. I worked for a child welfare agency in the impoverished areas of Boston for 8 years before starting private practice in 2017.

Carrboro, North Carolina therapist: Bridges Art Therapt, art therapist
Child or Adolescent Issues

Bridges Art Therapt

Art Therapist, ATR-BC, ATCS
Childrenoften find art therapy more enjoyable than traditional talk therapy partly because art therapy bypasses the need to use language to express how they are feeling. Children sometimes have not learned the words to share what is in their hearts but through the arts, they are able to tell their stories. Likewise, adolescents are often resistant to talk therapy but find the expressive arts therapies a fun way to do therapy. Through the arts, they can explore their growing independence while also honoring the part of themselves that still enjoys being young and playful.
