I help children in conflict, unhappy families, and adults who are motivated to change. Call for a free phone consultation or to set up an appointment. Anger, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting concerns, marital discord, bullying and harassment, behavioral disorders, substance abuse, school or job avoidance, and issues specific to children and adults with developmental disabilities are all problems we can work on successfully together . I have 27 years of school experience working with children, backed by twenty ears of clinical experience in Sussex County assisting children and adults in improving their lives.
I work well with tweens, teens and adults, including those with developmental disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, and other unique perspectives and neurodivergent presentations. My experience includes decades of helping these individuals with issues like cannabis dependence, alcohol use, school and work refusal, and more.
I have an excellent working relationship and reputation with Sussex County schools and the criminal justice system. Call me if your child is in legal trouble or has had issues in school, including problems with vaping or using other nicotine and/or cannabis products. I am knowledgeable about current products and trends and can help.
