My son immediately felt safe with you and trusted you. That is a true gift and says so much about you both personally and professionally."

As a clinical psychologist, I have devoted my career to supporting the social-emotional development of children and adolescents.

I also regularly collaborate with parents to identify and address patterns of behavior and communicate with their children more effectively.
