I enjoy working with clients with attention issues (ADHD), anxiety, stress, grief, and depression.
Currently accepting new clients on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Maybe you recently noticed something just started bothering you or your child...or maybe you've been struggling with feelings you don't like for quite a while. There is lots of research that says talking about your problems with a licensed professional can be helpful. I hope I can be that person for you or your child.

Within time, the side effects of the trauma(s) begin manifesting themselves—in terms of addictions, anger, anxiety, depression, helplessness, hopelessness, self-harm, and/or other maladaptive behaviors.
According to the German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, “That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” I disagree! Instead, trauma, if left unprocessed/untreated, it has the potential to cause unnecessary and significant mental distress. Throughout our lives, we, the vast majority of us, may experience traumatic events (micro and/or macro). During these trauma(s)—our role is simple—Survival. After the event(s), when we find ourselves on the other side of the trauma(s), again—our role is simple—To Go On With Life.
