Each of us passes through struggles that are difficult to cope with. In working together to form a therapeutic relationship we can become healthier and more able to react more skillfully to the challenges that present themselves. My work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families is based off a strong clinical foundation and woven together with compassion, respect and caring. By resolving some of our issues we can become balanced and find improved overall health (mentally, physically, spiritually, financially, emotionally).
Neuropsychology with a sub-specialty in pediatrics, trauma and balance/dynamic regulation via physiological, neurological, and psychological processes. A healthy, balanced way to relate with ourselves and those around us through understanding of neuropsychological functions. These tools create compassion, love and kindness in our relationships, less stress and improved health.
