I specialize working with children, teens, adults and families.
Within the safety of a therapeutic relationship healing and change can occur. With a compassionate and caring therapist this process can unfold. It's possible to become the person you desire to be. Even with a good set of change making skills we can feel stuck and unable to access a pattern that worked before or create a new pattern. In therapy you can clarify what is keeping you stuck and change from within. Relationships with self and others can improve as a result of the therapeutic process.
