I enjoy working with people with behavioral issues of any kind. It is incredible to see someone at the beginning of therapy, not knowing what to do or who to turn to, and, over time, recognize they have had some of the answers themselves. Through treatment, we have uncovered more skills and self-esteem to deal with the presenting issue. I like to build awareness of the behavioral problem, determine any patterns, and then discuss ways to intervene differently for a different outcome.
An ideal client would be willing to look at complex behaviors and determine that those behaviors are no longer serving them well and want to change.

I have years of personal experience working with children, teens and young adults. I come from a large family with divorced parents in which I became aware of many of the complexities that accompany family life and how they affect the individual. I learned when at my lowest point that it takes small, seemingly insignificant changes to how we think and behave, applied consistently, to spark a fire that will fuel us in the direction we want to go in our lives. I often tell my clients that life by the yard is hard; by the inch it's a cinch.
