I have been working with children with special needs for the past 3 years, professionally, however, as a person that grew up with a special needs sister, I have a unique understanding of the population. However, I have enjoyed working with individuals and couples or families that have no family with any kind of special needs. Wait, aren't we all special in some way?

I like to listen to your story and see how we can work together to help you, or your family, feel better. There are no two people or no two families that are the same. This is when it is really helpful to have an eclectic style of therapy. I work with each person or each family in the way they are presenting their story, not like you are a number or like you are just like everyone else. I want you to understand just how amazing you are and can continue to be!

I tend to ask a lot of questions so that I fully understand what is bothering you. This will also help me develop the most effective plan for helping you. I also like to use humor, when it is appropriate, so that the session doesn't become overwhelming or overbearing to the point you don't want to come back.

Sometimes, we will have worked assigned for the week so that you can find time throughout the week to continue learning about our discussion for the week. We will go at your pace. Don't ever think you are going too slow.
