You're not feeling like yourself. You've been feeling anxious, irritated and out of sorts. In some ways, your life is pretty much where you hoped it would be, but on the inside you're feeling scared. A little lost. And maybe even lonely. You're using all the skills, supports and outlets you can find, because you're the "I can do hard things" kind of person.. But you're not feeling much better. You've got little patience for your partner, your kids and your friends, and you're losing your focus at work. You want better ways to cope with these feelings. And more than that, you want to grow beyond the pain and find inner strength.

Like most human beings, you are doing your best trying to deal with the cards life dealt you. You are motivated and want to improve the quality of your life; only life hasn’t always provided you with the answers. If you are like most people, you have put in a lot of effort and often ended up disappointed in those ‘proven’ methods. However, your life and your brain are unique. Just like you can’t debate whether a hammer or screwdriver is ‘better’, there is no ‘best’ psychological method.

Has your child been struggling with emotional dysregulation and behavioral outbursts? As a parent, do you wish to have a more positive and trusting relationship with your child? I help children become more aware of the effect that their emotions have on themselves and others and give them tools to cope with these emotions. My practice also focuses on building healthy attachment between parent and child through play and talk therapy. In addition to therapy, I conduct psycho-educational evaluations to help parents and schools understand the cognitive, academic, behavior, and emotional needs of children.
