Shiva’s primary therapeutic approach is play therapy, offering children a safe environment to explore their emotions through creative play. Driven by a deep passion for helping young people thrive, she also integrates innovative, neuroscience-based techniques that leverage brain plasticity, allowing the brain to adapt and change throughout therapy. This approach helps clients achieve lasting progress, particularly in emotional regulation and resilience. Additionally, she incorporates art, music, and mindfulness practices, creating a well-rounded, personalized experience for each child.

Shiva also leads parenting workshops that empower parents with practical tools to reinforce their child’s growth and foster supportive home environments. Known for her calm and approachable demeanor, Shiva quickly builds strong connections with children, often achieving positive outcomes sooner than expected. Her services are available both in-person and online, making them accessible to families in various locations. She also collaborates with schools, educators, and insurance providers to ensure holistic, ongoing support.

Whether guiding a child through anxiety, enhancing family communication, or equipping parents with valuable strategies, Shiva is dedicated to fostering positive, lasting change.
