My biggest therapeutic success is to incorporate things in my therapy session such as playing games, playing sports, dancing, art, team building, executive functioning, self-esteem checks, charades, role-plays, and music therapy that are so enjoyable to the children that it makes them feel more open and honest to share about the things they want to work on, what they need to work on, but gets them excited to come back each week and learn the skills that they want and need, but have fun while doing it.

Navigating through the world of diagnoses can be overwhelming and challenging. There is so much information to gather and sometimes it leads you to the beginning of an end. Hope, sometimes is scarce, and the opinions of others begin to drown out your inner voice. We start with your perseverance by guiding your inner voice to the external; so you can start to find solutions to your presenting circumstances. Sometimes, all we need is a sounding board and to hear ourselves ask out loud the hard question of, "What if?" I can help you answer your own questions by diving deeper into, "What is, and where do we go from here?"

Through my decades of experience I have seen that we all struggle with feelings of not being "Good Enough" in some way. Whether that is smart enough, lovable enough, or many other not enoughs. We form these beliefs during our lives and many things trigger that NOT GOOD ENOUGH feeling. We may react emotionally when the "not good enough" feeling is triggered. EMDR & Mindfulness are great tools to help calm down our emotions so we have better control of them. My client's say I have an easy going and personable style. I have such high regard for my client's bravery and strength to seek help!

Clients find me to be warm, compassionate and non-judgmental while creating an effective therapeutic environment.

At the end of the day they want help being the best version of themselves and reach their fullest potential.
