Although I work with a broad spectrum of clients and issues, I specialize in youth and family issues. My clinical experience has been in school and office settings. I work with clients on issues such as child development, adolescence, parenting, and blended families (lifespan issues, broadly speaking). In addition to lifespan development, I also specialize in working with anger, anxiety, depression, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Navigating personal development, family, and relational issues is difficult enough by itself, let alone when you are dealing with psycho-social-emotional difficulties. I am a relatively interactive clinician, using my professional and life experience to empathetically connect with a variety of issues.
Helping you figure out how to move through life in the way that is most comfortable for you is my specialty. Contact me for a free 20 minute consultation to see if we can work together.
