**OUR OFFICE IS NOW PROVIDING TELEHEALTH SERVICES** No matter how long you have doing, thinking or feeling the same thing- you CAN change. Each person can shape their lives, and counseling can help remove the roadblocks keeping you stuck. Counseling should be both affordable and accessible- and I work to address each client's unique goals. By focusing on communication skills, lowering anxiety, and encouraging positive possibilities, I help clients move forward to achieve their potential.
I work with parents to create strategies that lower anxiety, address fears about the future, and improve the family's quality of life. Parent coaching is often short term and solution focused. MWCS collaborates with our clinic partner, Occupational Therapy Consulting.
Hope.Possibilites.Change. Are you ready? I work with teens, adults, couples and families. You don't have to stay stuck, call or email me for a free phone consultation.
