Do you feel overwhelmed, down or anxious? Or need support to help you find strategies to feel more focused and organized... you're in the right place, taking the first step toward accessing your strengths, building strategies and engaging in a more fulfilling and balanced life! I look forward to the opportunity to work alongside you within a culture of compassion, empowerment, collaboration and open communication.
I bring a wealth of knowledge working with children, teens, families and adults. I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, peer conflict/relationship issues, behavior difficulties, school anxiety and more. I’ve worked for over 15 years both in education, and social services. If requested, I will use a Christianity-focused approach.
