"Fear and self-doubt have always been the greatest enemies of human potential." -Brian Tracy. At Like a Phoenix, we would love to show every person we serve, his/her inner strength. We believe we all have potential. Many of us have been, at some point of our lives, discouraged by some unsuccessful experiences. However, we have a deep faith that, with the right help, everyone is able to fulfill his/her potential and be the person he/she wants to be. We would like to be a part of this process, the process of success and happiness, the process of rising from our aches like a Phoenix rises from its ashes.

I bring a rich history of life experiences. Life is like a 3-legged stool. Finding balance today in life can be a struggle but not impossible. I believe looking at the person as a whole by exploring the connections between the biological (your physical self), the psychological (your thought process), and the sociological (your interactions with others). Together these processes bring balance.

I provide comprehensive and empathetic counseling to individuals of all ages. While my in-person practice focuses on children, my virtual practice specializes in care for parents — offering practical strategies for supporting child development, or just general mental health support during the often overwhelming parenting years. Whether you’re on a journey to heal your own childhood trauma, or you’re looking for support so you can best support your family, I believe that you are the expert of your own experience, and that value is foundational in treatment.

Immediate Availability M-Th for telehealth only. Being a parent is hard, even under the best of circumstances. When you have a child struggling with mental health, the job can become even harder. You might find yourself feeling scared or overwhelmed, having lots of questions but finding few answers. The good news is that you and your child don't have to go through this alone- I'm here to help. As a clinician, I know that the effects of mental health are felt far beyond the individual. Though I work with children and adolescents, I believe in having a collaborative relationship with all members of the family.

How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.
When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.
What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.
Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
