Why doesn't anyone get me? It feels like I'm the only one going through this. I'm so overwhelmed and irritated that I can't find my balance anymore. Will I ever feel happy again? Is this your reality? It doesn't have to be.

I have been working with the families of children with developmental and learning challenges for over thirty years in school, clinical and informal settings. I strive to help each child develop the resources to be as independent and successful as possible academically and socially, using evidence based resources.

I specialize in students of all ages who are not working at their potential. These include individuals with Learning Disabilities, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Aspergers Syndrome, Work or School-related Anxiety, Gifted Learning Challenges, or Unconventional Learning Styles. Thirty years in public education has provided me with the experience to teach strategies to the student, and to recommend individualized accommodations and modifications to parents and educators.

Warm, kind, compassionate, empathetic and nonjudgmental. These are the qualities that I value and practice as a therapist and educator for over 30 years. Working with pre-teens, teens, young adults and their families to problem solve and fulfill their goals is my life’s work. I have been a teacher, school counselor and now a therapist, working with kids on a variety of issues in their lives. I have a special passion working with LGBTQ+ individuals to help them be their authentic selves, fulfill their dreams, live their lives and follow their journeys at their own pace – and support their parents and families in the process.

Therapy offers a place and relationship in which to be heard, to be understood and promote growth and change. My practice offers opportunities to a wide variety of people for insight and understanding that makes a difference in how life is lived. I feel this occurs through the emergence of and appreciation for a very unique and meaningful relationship grounded in compassion, patience and appreciation for all of one's experience.
