Great to meet you!

Life can be especially difficult for people today. It is my goal to assist all my clients starting at age 3 years, through adults to learn how to make healthy and positive decisions in their lives and to empower them to have a good, healthy self image and to successfully move into their future.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am not rooted in one particular type of therapy. This is because the same thing does not work on everyone. I believe in a wrap around style of therapy.

My specialty is children through adults. As a mother, educator and someone who has dealt with special needs, I can reach children where others have not been successful. I am a person who will get eye to eye with my clients, and make sure they feel heard and understood.

What you can expect from our first session

My clients need to be heard and need to feel that there is someone listening to them, so do the parents. So they are not alone. I am here to walk along with my clients while helping them create a toolbox for the future.
