My passion is to help children find themselves through discovering their strengths, likes/dislikes, coping strategies and effective ways to communicate. Children are not born with the ability to know how they are feeling and the best ways to communicate their wants and needs. Usually they show us through their behavior. It is a great pleasure of mine, to help equip them with these skills. Above all, I love teaching people to believe in themselves because believing is the first step in achieving your goal.
In early parts of my career I was a behavioral specialist working primarily with Autistic children and their families creating targeted goal allowing them to achieve new levels of independence and interconnectedness. I have also worked with the most at risk youth to help them learn ways to safely work through their emotions using evidence-based techniques.
During times of stress and turmoil it is hard to know where to start. Using a client centered approach we work together to identify areas of strength and develop step by step plans to get to where they want to go. Clients can email or call with any questions or to receive a free consultation.
