Everyone can use a little help at times. Children and adults often experience difficult emotions, such as anxiety, depression and anger that are hard to handle and interfere with relationships and quality of life. I will help you alleviate these unwanted symptoms, improve functioning and improve your relationships. I work with adults and couples who are having struggles in their personal lives. I also specialize in working with those who have experienced sexual trauma.
In addition, I specialize in working with children & teens that are experiencing emotional, social and academic problems. I will help your child develop greater self-esteem, coping skills & effective communication. Let's work together to create a home with harmony & an academic environment where your child can thrive.
I use a client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and solution focused approach to therapy. Your time in therapy is focused on your life story and revolves around what has meaning to you in order to create meaningful change and healing. Take the first step in investing in yourself or someone you love and call me today.
