I have a passion for helping others. I have the most experience working with parents, postpartum mood disorders, teens, and children. But I also have experience working with adults who struggle with anxiety, trauma, family dysfunction, and ADHD/neurodivergence. Psychoeducation is the foundation of many of my sessions. To me, it is important to equip clients with tools that can make them feel more empowered and confident in challenging situations and managing their own symptoms.

Are you having problems communicating with your child? Is your child struggling at school or socially? When working with children and teens, it usually involves self-esteem and efficacy problems, often rooted in family dynamics or an inability to get needs met. This is confounded by learning difficulties. I work with those families and individuals having problems with getting their needs met through healthy channels. Often screening or testing identifies areas of treament focus,or the need for speech, occupational or learning specialists.
