Accepting New Clients! As a parent or guardian, your desire is for your child to flourish, be successful, and to find happiness, especially when faced with challenging emotions, major life transitions, or school strugges. If you've observed heightened emotional distress, disruptive behaviors, school challenges, social challenges, or your child feeling isolated, you don't have to face these issues by yourself. I can help you and your child. Children (6 to 10), preteen, and teens are facing so many difficult stressful situations and sometimes feel they don't feel they have a trustworthy place to turn.

Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. If you are looking for things to change and are willing to work with me, things can get better.

Therapy begins with an end in mind and you and I would work together to make sure we are always making progress towards goals.
