We all want to find peace in the word we live in, as such I am focused on a practice which explores the strengths within individuals in order to find balance, improve confidence/self-esteem, and instill positivity. My clients are generally seeking support in stress management, emotion regulation, relationship issues, feelings of loneliness, worry, and/or fear. I would love to explore your existing concerns and work towards a solution of finding grounding and peace.
I am a school psychologist with a focus on counseling (LPC) with over 18 years experience conducting evaluations and therapeutic services to children/adolescents (ages 6 to 22 years) and families. My specialty areas include emotion regulation, grief, anxiety, depression and stress management.
Seeking support for yourself or for your child/adolescent? Let's start with a conversation by scheduling a call or email. I would love the opportunity to get to know you. If you feel we are a good fit, then let us continue to explore.
