When we or a beloved face challenges counseling helps us explore our beliefs and feelings enabling healing and making change possible. With over 25 years of experience working with diverse communities, adults, and children, with anxiety, depression, and traumatic experiences, I have witnessed healing. One method that helps is Sandplay Therapy. Using miniatures and a sand tray, offers a deeply personal way to explore our inner world, akin to 'waking dreams.' It facilitates profound self-discovery and healing for all ages. A Child’s language is play, and both adolescents and adults gain significant insights and transformation.

Why do you think people turn to psychologists? Because they want to change their lives. People want changes. If you feel the need for change, I can help you with this, because I studied at the Department of Neuro and Patho Psychology and I know how the cognitive functions of the brain work and how the unconscious is formed, which stores hidden files that prevent a person from development and adaptation. Step by step the road will be mastered by the walking. Let’s go.

On the surface, everything is fine. You do your work, pay your bills, and seem to have it all together. But inside is a different story. Your emotions are unpredictable – dizzyingly high one moment, then crashing back to earth the next. It’s impossible to find relief from the constant triggers and intrusive thoughts, so you hide. But in the process, you’re shrinking from the world. Nobody sees the real you, and it feels so isolating. You’d love to be able to express how you really feel, but you’re scared of how people would react. So you smile through your struggles and suffer in silence. If only there were some other way to live.

I provide ABA Early Intervention and Behavioral Therapy to children ages 12 months to 12 years old. My mission is to help children build their own strength. I work with children with problem behaviors, emotional challenges, academic struggles, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities, defiant behavior, and autism, among others. To provide comprehensive support, I use a combination of tools in my practice including behavioral ABA therapy, art, playtime, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My behavioral training does not substitute my psychology background but complements each other.
