I have been working with children, adults and families for many years and I want to assist in the development of your best.
Are you tired of feeling this way yet?! Anxious, unhappy, edgy, unsatisfied...maybe alone. Have you not been yourself and you can't stand it anymore. Fighting with your partner constantly, the kids are starting to notice, and you aren't spending enough time taking care of yourself. Your relationships are suffering. Please don't wait until things get even worse. Like a car, a therapy "tune up" will get you back on track before the engine blows! If you are tired of how things are going and committed to improvement, it's time to do something.

I work with children, adolescents, and young adults to address a number of mental health and behavioral concerns, from difficulty adjusting to life's stressors to serious emotional and behavioral challenges related to neglect, trauma, and abuse. When difficulties arise in the school setting with peers and teachers, parents often don't know where to turn for help.

The mind and body are undeniably connected. I believe in taking the time to notice what our body is telling us. If you experience unpleasant symptoms and issues in your life, this is likely a sign that something is hiding in your mind. You and I will locate where it hides, bring awareness to it, and then learn how to find relief and grow. This is where the healing begins. I work with a variety of issues that affect children and their families, young adults and their life transitions, and a wide range of individual needs in adults.
