Whether a child, adolescent or adult, I'll work hard to provide a secure private place to work on and understand the sensitive and hidden developmental, behavioral, emotional and/or perceptual needs and difficulties that impact your daily life. Often, disconnections with important others can disrupt life-satisfaction, adaptation, work or learning. Working together we will discover and build practical, relevant strategies, based on fuller understanding of the particular core patterns and troubles. The goal is always meaningful adaptation, lasting change and growth, toward engaging more fully with real world demands and relationships.

Do you feel like other people are having a better experience in life than you are?
Do you have the idea that you're experiencing more stress, more dissatisfaction, facing more issues?
Would you like to get along with your children or parents better, or develop the relationship with your partner?
Are you trying to figure out these things on your own? Many find it difficult to turn to someone else to get help with what we feel we 'should' be able to manage alone. Truth is, we're meant to seek out support from those around us.
