"Happiness does not depend on what you have or who you are. It solely relies on what you think" (Buddha) The majority of our suffering comes from our thinking. In therapy I use a variety of approaches and techniques to resolve problematic behaviors, beliefs, feelings, relationship issues, and/or somatic responses.

These experiences can help children develop more behavioral and emotional skills as well as helping with sensory regulation.
A.C.E.S. stands for Attitude, Compassion, Education and Supports. These are the core attributes and values I use to help my clients and their families find answers, serenity, and balance. I have been helping families, frustrated parents and students who are struggling for well over a decade. My practice includes individual & family therapy, communication skills, education, modification of "behaviors" and helping families understand more of the “why” behind how we act and a deeper understanding of what we feel and how to make appropriate changes
