Everyone needs support at times. Change can be hard, but with knowledge and understanding, you can transform your life. I work with children, adolescents, adults, parents, & families in identifying challenges, finding effective ways of coping, & moving toward reaching specific goals. Learning to love yourself & practicing these skills will lead to a more meaningful life & more fulfilling relationships. Partnering with you on your unique journey, in a safe and compassionate space, I will support you in reaching your fullest potential & realizing your dreams. Change is possible even if you don't believe it at first. Reach out today.
I have over 30 years of experience in helping people manage and regulate their emotions and in teaching coping strategies for children, adolescents, and adults. I have training and expertise in the following evidence-based approaches which include: Behavior Therapy, Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Play Therapy.
I accept you exactly the way you are (and help you accept yourself) while concurrently encouraging you to explore, learn, & practice new strategies & ways of relating to others. You are the only You in this world! How will you live the rest of your life? Treating you with dignity and respect, I am there with you and for you, and we will get there together.
