In addition, to servicing children ages 3 to 10 by way of play therapy and other modalities.
Decades ago, many problems stopped kids from being successful in schools, making friends, and fulfilling their potential. Parents, you now have many resources to tap when you feel that something is not quite right with the way your child thinks, feels, or acts. Decisions about what to do when something seems wrong are critical - not only to the well-being of your child but also to their healthy development and successful transition to adulthood. So, if you have a child with a mental, emotional, or behavior problem, or think you might, please feel free to contact me.

I am also trained to support children, adults, and families coping with ADHD.
Congratulate yourself on taking the first step towards prioritizing the state of your mental health. Let's be honest. Suffering from a traumatic experience SUCKS! Your life can be made to feel more fragmented, confusing, unstable, and unsafe. The ripples can have negative effects on your state of mind, your ability to form and nurture healthy relationships and other domains of life. As a result, you may experiences increased anxiety, sleep issues, trying to make meaning out of life, anger issues, more substance use than usual, impaired relationships, increased risky behaviors, and suicidality. You're ready to do the work.

Is your Child or Teen having problems with anxiety, depression, or self-esteem issues? Is your family having significant parent- child conflict? I want to help you & your family achieve a healthier life. Adolescents and young adults have unique challenges that can be difficult to navigate. During these critical periods in life, many may face peer issues, family conflict, self-esteem difficulty, parent- child conflict, and difficulty with transitions (e.g., high school to college; college to career). I have approximately 10 years of experience working with these age groups. Currently, I am also available to see young adult clients.
