In my work with couples, I carefully attune to each person's needs, as well as, to the couple as a whole. I also work with clients to pinpoint areas of communication that can be strengthened, developing stronger communication abilities that can positively affect other life areas as well.

As humans we also have the capacity to manage our problems, heal, and change our lives for the better. Perhaps you recently went through a break-up, job loss, or the death of a loved one. Or perhaps you just feel stuck in life and unable to break free from negative thoughts or unwanted emotions. You may be looking for a new life purpose or to change your story. Regardless of what you are going through, I believe therapy can help.

I work with children, adolescents and parents addressing a variety of issues including academic difficulties or needed enhancements, relationship difficulties with peers or family members as well as other family dynamics such as divorce or loss.

Enhancements include testing for potential gifted needs.

Each session is catered towards the individual, to ensure that your therapeutic journey is one that is most helpful to you.
