"My professional strength is knowing how to help people calm down and regain focus in one of three ways:(1) counseling-helping someone get through difficult life issues such as the death of a loved one; (2) psychotherapy-which involves real change and requires a long-term commitment to healing open wounds; and (3) consultation-providing advice on a single issue or event where professional consultation could be helpful. Everyone has a story to tell and I am here to listen, to help and to heal. It is my unwavering belief that no matter what the situation is, our problems are never bigger than life."

"Does your heart break as you watch your teenager sink further into solitude, slowly isolate from family and friends, and stop enjoying life as he/she once did? It’s especially hard to watch them become more detached and withdrawn; to feel powerless to help them find solutions to problems they may not even understand. Is it anger? Anxiety? Depression? Beyond day to day living, so many other things can emotionally stress out your teenager.
