My practice focuses on children, adolescents, and young adults (and their families) with a wide range of complex learning needs.

We focus on discovering the unique strengths of each individual so we ca capitalize on those areas while also identifying areas of challenge so we can build on or, as necessary, plan to avoid those areas.
