My top priority as your counselor is to understand you as a whole individual and then reflect that understanding back to you. By focusing on the many unique identities that make up who you are, I work with you to tailor specific interventions that work for each individual I see. I firmly believe that hope comes from the development of skills and it is my job to help the hopeless develop and strengthen their skill set to face the challenges that work, life, and relationships may bring.
As a former professional in the video game industry, I offer a unique connection with children, pre-teens and adolescents. I work hard to bring the excitement that young men and women have towards technology and video games and translate it towards what they really want out of life.
I am specially trained to work with gifted children, pre-teens and teenagers and work collaboratively with the staff at The Center for Identity Potential to help your child activate their potential.
