Our world is everchanging and those changes affect us both internally and externally. In therapy, I will provide a safe and judgement free environment in which you can learn how to better understand and cope with the changes and events that you have experienced.
Since 2005, I have worked with adults, children, adolescents and geriatric clients within the community as well as in inpatient and outpatient settings. Currently, I test and evaluate for autism eligibility and specialize in counseling children, adolescents, adults, couples and families who have experienced trauma.
My office hours are tailored to meet the needs of the working person or parent. They are Monday - Friday 5pm - 8pm and 9A and 4pm on Saturday (by appointment only). I also provide community based services in order to alleviate the stress of seeking services in office.
