Individuals who will benefit from neuropsychological testing are interested in understanding how their cognitive skills (or those of their children) are impacting their daily functioning. Many individuals have concerns about school functioning and are wondering why they (or their children) are struggling. Some individuals are interested in maximizing their cognitive strengths to perform better at school or their place of employment.

Welcome! I created The Harmony Center for Change, so that you would have a place where you feel understood and seen. As a sensitive individual, I can understand how our environment can be invalidating in so many different ways. I want you to know that your emotions and experiences matter. We all have an inner wisdom and as part of the therapeutic process you will learn to trust your experiences. We believe in authenticity and the ability to honor it, while learning skills to change behaviors that are no longer serving us. I have recently discovered a greater purpose in life and I want to share the Good News with you.

You have taken a positive step in seeking therapy! Being an adult sounded way better when we were kids, huh? Little did we know we would have to worry less about quicksand and if algebra would really matter and more about feelings of anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, loneliness, and a general lack of control. My goal as your therapist is to create a space where you feel heard, validated, and supported. You are not your diagnosis, and therapy is not about "fixing" anything. Therapy is about accepting and embracing challenges rather than trying to run from them.

With 39 years of experience working in a variety of mental health settings, there is not much I have not heard. I have learned that most of the stress of life's challenges comes from our perspective and the choices we make based on it. Sometimes this can lead to frustration, anxiety, or depression. When we change our perspective, we find choices and solutions we hadn't considered before. Changing perspective is not easy. I use a variety of skills to assist people in successfully managing life's challenges and developing their own skills to live life effectively and joyfully.
