A favorite quote of mine is, "The truth always happens." Too often, our present truth is filled with suffering and anxiety.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents and adults of all backgrounds, helping clients and families to understand a range of behaviors and disorders. Working together, clients learn to recognize feelings, relate them to behaviors, and develop tools to recreate their own truth.
