Quite often life can be full of challenges and it can be difficult to work through them. Part of my goal as your therapist is to help you see that despite these challenges, they can be worked through and you can have a meaningful and fulfilling life. I personally enjoy being on this journey with my clients and will utilize a variety of approaches and techniques to help you overcome them. I do believe that everybody is different and deserves to have a customized approach which works for them, and that is why I work from an eclectic perspective and will personalize a treatment plan for each client.

Don't give up, you can heal and overcome traumas by adapting to new environments through healthy coping skills. Helping to cope with changes and finding ways to decrease or resolve experiences of distress can be vital for a person to grow in a healthy manner. I am committed to establishing a collaborative relationship and work toward assisting my clients to overcome and cope with significant stressors in their lives. Being aware of the triggers and working toward healthier forms of thinking and behaving are important aspects to work through in therapy. I am also able to accommodate my clients and meet them within the community.

Our only job as parents is to make sure that our children are provided with all they need to achieve their dreams and become successful human beings. Sometimes what they need spans far beyond basic necessity and digs deep into emotional and mental well-being. In my practice, I work collaboratively with children and their families to help identify and solve challenges or obstacles that get in the way of achieving life's aspirations and feelings of happiness. The beauty is that children's minds are malleable, helping them to discover who they are through their inner strength is the greatest gift one can take away from therapy.

Life can be especially difficult for our young people today. It is my goal to assist all my clients starting at age 3 years, through adults to learn how to make healthy and positive decisions in their lives and to empower them to have a good, healthy self image and to successfully move into their future. I am not rooted in one particular type of therapy. This is because the same thing does not work on everyone. I believe in a wrap around style of therapy. It is not just the child, it is its environment which could include, living environment, school, friend groups and more.

As a previously practicing educational psychologist in an alternative school setting, I often encountered students who moved through the public school systems without the support they needed to learn basic foundational skills. Creating a lack of understanding of how they learn; causing low self-esteem and low academic and social functioning. Additionally, these academic difficulties often bring about behavior challenges in school and in the home setting, as students feel incapable of learning to their full potential. These students often require assessment to further determine appropriate intervention for academic success.
