*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Our unique hardships in life can be overwhelming and create feelings of anxiety, stress, and isolation. This can lead to harmful thoughts and behaviors that leave us feeling depleted and empty inside. In order to change our behavior, we need to first understand it. My aim is to help you learn effective ways to break the cycle of self defeating thoughts and actions and access the tools needed to thrive and regain a sense of joy in life. Through a client-centered and evidenced-based behavioral approach, I strive to provide the compassion and guidance needed to allow you to believe that change is possible.

We're the therapists for "kids who don't like therapy." These days - especially - teens are too often suffering and struggling in their homes and in our schools. And everyone could use some help: kids, parents, and the caring professionals in our schools. Throughout the state, our therapists and life coaches serve as "part of the team," helping teens to feel better, and do better. Together, we'll explore and better understand what's been happening, how to change patterns, and how to get better results!

“I don’t want to talk about it!” “You wouldn't understand!”...sound familiar? Sometimes your children don’t understand what may be happening either, and communicating that can feel impossible. As a Registered Play Therapist, I help children, teens, and adults ages 3-25 explore, understand, and gain confidence around who they are, how they feel, and what they think. I am a hearing therapist fluent in ASL and also specialize in working with deaf youth using play. Play therapy utilizes a variety of interventions, including playing with toys and miniatures or using more expressive art and movement.

Working with clients from ethnic minority groups is my passion; especially Brazilians, Latinos and Native Americans. Having experienced being an immigrant myself while living in Brazil, I am very aware of the unique difficulties facing newly arrived immigrants. Individuals needing assistance with school difficulties, parenting concerns, family conflict, marital discord, or functionally impairing mental health symptoms are my ideal client.

Mental health issues affect everyone and can hinder our ability to function in important aspects of life. Some of us are struggling to process a loss, trauma, a life transition, or an illness. Some of us are feeling anxious and depressed, but we are unsure of the cause. When we keep repeating the same patterns that don’t serve us anymore, it can be difficult to move forward. Fortunately, you don’t have to go about your days feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and alone in your experiences.

A comprehensive evaluation is often the first step in helping to understand an individual's difficulties, cognitive profile and learning differences.

Sometimes going through the demands of life on our own is overwhelming and it has been shown support can help us overcome these challenges. That is where we come together, to work through those traumatic experiences collaboratively. Together, we will identify behavioral patterns of the past that have worked for you and those that are no longer serving you. Together, we will explore feelings that rise inside you and learn to identify the links they have to your thoughts and how you react and respond in situations. Together, we will work on building a more positive narrative that motivates you to make the changes you want to see.
