Individual Therapy Are you struggling with parenting or relationship issues? ​ Do you wish you could improve your communication skills with others? ​ Do you feel anxious, depressed or experiencing panic attacks? ​ Do you want to make changes in your life so you can live a more genuine life? ​ -PLAY THERAPY ​ Does your 2-11 year old have a hard time expressing their feelings which results in difficult behaviors? ​ -ELDER CARE COUNSELING AND CASE MANAGEMENT ​ Are you a Caretaker and need help managing your commitments to your immediate family as well as your elder parents? ​ Do you need help navigating the Medicaid/Medicare process?
I am an MSW, LICSW who has worked in the field for 25+ years with children, teenagers, young adults, parents and families with emotional/behavioral/mental health concerns. ​ In the past 5 years I have provided case management services to elderly clients and their families in need of accessing services to maintain living in their own home.
If you desire a transition in your life, we can work together to determine your goals for change and design a plan to let go of the old patterns and accept new ideas to strengthen your inner self and balance relationships that are important to you.
