I have over 22 years of experience working with children and families. The principles of wraparound are a major component of my work as I believe that families are the experts on their own experiences, strengths and needs. Building an integrated team of both natural and professional supports can help a family meet their goals for themselves in a way that is sustainable.

Welcome! I believe our problems are related to both environmental and/or internal factors, however we don't need to be the victim of our current or life's circumstances. Our healing resides within each one of us, and all we may need is guidance to help us reach clarity to claim our true power within. The author and M.D., Scott Peck states at the start of his book, The Road Less Traveled, “Life is difficult.” When we experience those difficulties, therapy gives us an outlet to sift through those painful emotions of confusion, fear, sadness, and even hopelessness, but most importantly therapy can help give us a new outlook on life.
