If you feel that you are not functioning as well as you'd like to or are not working up to your full potential, therapy can help! I use a cognitive behavioral approach, and behavior modification to help clients achieve their goals. I work with kids as young as 3 up through adults. My innovative and unconventional approach makes therapy fun and unintimidating. I work closely with schools and doctors to provide the best treatment possible.
My practice utilizes an innovative approach incorporating physical movement into sessions, when applicable, to make therapy fun and engaging. I work with anxiety disorders, ADHD, depression, low self-esteem and marital/couples counseling. I currently run several social skills groups.
My warm, easy going style makes therapy relaxing and non-threatening. I try to work with your strengths to help you achieve your goals.
