Telehealth sessions only. I currently have two openings. I specialize in working with people with disabilities, of all ages, to create the life you want. I understand the frustration of living with a significant difference such as a disability can have on your life and that feeling of being held back. I also understand a disability can impact the whole family and see family members, if desired. This is how I look at disability – in most cases, it is with you for a very long time, if not for life, so why not still live the life YOU want?! A disability should not stand in the way of making them possible.

Suffering is an integral part of life, the same way manure is an integral part of the farmer's life. As a wise farmer learns to use manure as a fertilizer, I can assist you in understanding and using your suffering wisely, and learning to profit from it. I am silent when need be, yet I am also very willing to respond to your questions and to dialogue with you in a very direct way when necessary.

As a therapist, I love working with children: learning about their families, their strengths, challenges, the problems which are worrying them and affecting their behavior. In our sessions we play and create things together, as play is the medium of communication for children in therapy, equivalent to adults' verbal engagement. Through talk and play, we develop an authentic emotional connection, in order to build a strong therapeutic relationship. Trust and collaboration are essential to the work of therapy for children as well as adults.

My background, education, and experiences have helped me develop a unique, bicultural perspective and approach to help people from various cultures, backgrounds, and beliefs.
