We enjoy long walks and just hanging out.

In January 2020 I started my private practice Holistic Guidance LLC. My goal is to "come alongside" clients to walk with them through their journey to better mental health.

I meet clients where they are at, offering homework, resources and out-of session exercises to clients wanting to expedite the healing process. We can work as slowly or as intensively as you would like. I place great emphasis on the importance of clients feeling safe within the context of our relationship.

My specialty for the past 46 years has been children and adolescents with emotional, behavioral and neurological issues. Due to my experience I'm able to use multiple approaches and modalities that I formulate to the specific issue presented to me by my clients.
