Founder and doctorate in psychotherapy who is focused on providing individual, family and couples counseling services. Specializing in work related to stress, anxiety, trauma, separation/divorce, women's issues, and other family services. Board approved to supervise social workers in their residency for licensure. Interested in academic work and related writing, and presenting for corporations. We have a team of therapists available to help you right away onto the path you choose to move forward on.

My practice specializes in helping children, adolescents, adults and couples to work through and move forward past one's anxiety, depression, adjustment issues from separation/divorce or grief, social skill challenges, past trauma, addictions, obsessive compulsive issues, disruptive behaviors, attention issues and tourette syndrome.

Currently, we are beginning groups for social issues, anxiety, trauma, parenting support and academic success. We do observations in the class setting and make recommendations to your child's teacher, to you or your school system. Making recommendations to connect all systems for your child's highest level of success.
