Using a combination of traditional methods, energy psychology modalities (such as EFT) and mindfulness principles, I assist in the exploration and resolution of emotional obstacles to promote healing and growth.

"Identifying interferences to optimal personal functioning and removing them is an important part of emotional growth, often leading to or facilitating an improved sense of health in the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspect of both individual and our interpersonal experiences.

"It can be very concerning and heartbreaking when your child is not developing, performing in school, or making friends as you would expect. Perhaps your child is doing well in one domain of his or her life but is struggling with others. The hardest part as a parent is not knowing why, what to do, or how to help your child. Often in situations like yours, a neuropsychological evaluation can give you some answers and direct you toward the help your child needs."
