Everyone can use a little help at times. We often experience difficult emotions, such as anxiety, depression and anger that are hard to handle and interfere with relationships and quality of life. With 15 years of experience in practice, I will help you alleviate these unwanted symptoms, improve functioning and improve your relationships. I work with adults and couples who are having struggles in their personal lives. I also specialize in working with those who have experienced sexual trauma.
In addition, I specialize in working with kids (11yr+) & teens that are experiencing emotional, social and academic problems. I will help your child develop greater self-esteem, coping skills & effective communication. Let's work together to create a home with harmony & an academic environment where your child can thrive.
I use a client-centered, cognitive behavioral, & solution focused approach to therapy. Your time in therapy is focused on your life story & revolves around what has meaning to you in order to create meaningful change & healing. For certain clients, I utilize the Emotional Freedom Technique to help release fears/phobias that have been locked in their system.
