I have years of experience working with children and parents in different settings.
I like to offer you a safe and compassionate space to explore your relationship with yourself and the significant people in your life. Together we can support you to develop clarity on what you want/need and how to express/communicate them to your family, friends and coworkers. Through psycho education and examination of how your past experiences/attachments have shaped your behavior and the lens from which you see the world, you can make the changes you hope for and heal from past traumas. I have faith in your wisdom to develop a healthy relationship with yourself and others.

Are you worried about your child?
Problems at school are all too common. It is hard to focus on academics when other things are weighing on a student's mind. We can work on specific areas of concern you or your child is facing at home or at school and learn tools that can be applied in everyday life.

Parents worry when they know something is wrong with their child.
In a way, life is a puzzle. With many pieces to choose from, we try to find those pieces that fit smoothly together. However, life becomes troubling when what we have chosen doesn't fit and the same problems seem to occur in one situation after another, making life seem even more frustrating and confusing. I am trained as both an artist and a psychotherapist and work in a collaborative style. After 20 years of experience, I bring a little humor and grace while learning to think creatively to move through the maze of life, it is an exciting possibility.
