Life is a wonderful, and at times difficult journey. When you experience anxiety, depression, trauma or relationship/family issues on top of the pressures of daily life, coping effectively can be overwhelming. Yet know that with the right support and toolbox of skills, you have the ability to prioritize your happiness and achieve your goals. Your journey to assemble this tool box does not have to happen alone. I can provide a nurturing space where you can gain insight into unwanted patterns of behavior, identify and challenge unhelpful automatic thinking patterns and get in touch with your innate strength.

How does my child get along with his/her peers? Is my child sensitive to the feelings of others? Can my child wait and control their impulses? How aware is my child of his/her feelings? Can my child respect others "space," make new friends, maintain a conversation and are they really listening when someone is speaking? These are just a few questions my clients ask themselves before seeking my services. I have years of experience helping children and young adults who are grappling with these areas. Feel free to visit my website for more information regarding social skills training.

**NEW GROUP AVAILABLE** You thought you would be embracing your vision of motherhood. Instead, you may find yourself crippled by waves of anxiety and sadness. Thoughts about your baby getting hurt or not breathing keep intruding in your mind. You worry that you’re not feeling the love and connection you imagined. Exhausted, you feel detached and angry. You’re not. Perhaps, you’re struggling with a birth experience that did not go as expected. It may have been anything from an unexpected cesarean to a near death experience which continues to cause physical and emotional pain. This emotional pain does not have to last forever.
