Coming to therapy is an important step in life. Therapy helps to deal with difficult emotions, solve problems, and acquire skills to deal with life challenges. Problems block our joy and rob us of our peace. Using a strength-based approach Is helpful in finding your own solutions that make sense. The approach I use to therapy is customized to meet your needs.
I have diverse experience in inter-faith marriage, marital discord, post-partum depression, divorce, shared child custody, visitation and co-parenting, child and adolescence therapy, child abuse, blended family issues, family mental health, complexities and conflict among family members.
Taking new clients Tuesdays through Saturdays.
