My foundation in therapy has always been working with children, teens, families and women's mental health. Each person is unique, and each situation is different. My purpose is to help you design a plan to address whatever it may be that you are wanting to work on. I love to incorporate different methods and approaches such as bringing in art interventions, games, music, reading to accompany traditional treatment perspectives. One quote I love is- It's not about what it is, it's about what it can become- Dr. Seuss. I love to explore the past, present and then develop a beautiful future vision.
