These include couples communication profiles, psychological evaluations for children and adults with learning problems or ADHD, and therapy techniques like EMDR and NewBrain (TM) NeuroFeedback to help patients resolve deeper hurts that prevent them from living successfully.
Many in today's world are looking for answers to difficult questions. They want to know how to handle the problems they face within their marriages and with their children. Marriages are falling apart because couples lack the skill to communicate their deepest needs. Parents and their children fall into a similar trap and are losing their connections to one another.

I also work with Dads of young children.
Often I work with teens, college students or adults who are experiencing depression, social anxiety, transition, or grief. My clients are often isolated and lacking strong social connections, either by choice or because they feel rejected. For my clients, I try to center my work around logic, common sense and a supportive, trusting relationship. Many people find relief in just being able to tell someone what they're thinking without judgement.

About Me: My interests include working with children, adolescents, & adults who have endured traumatic experiences (specifically sexual, physical, emotional abuse and neglect.
Our Practice: We’ve been hearing for years from clients about how their previous therapist was a good listener, but they didn’t feel like they made much progress. While active listening is an important skill for a therapist, listening can only go so far. We believe what sets us apart from many other therapists is the fact we actually help you help yourself make the necessary changes in your life by giving you techniques, tools, skills, and guidance to achieve your goals. Additionally, we provide psychological evaluations for children and adults looking for diagnostic clarity to guide treatment recommendations.
