I am choosing not to see children under the age of 11, but can work with you, the parent, to help with your child’s anxiety, depression, or ADHD.
Accepting new clients. I specialize in working with women, teens and preteens. I have done so in a variety of ways for more than 25 years. In a positive and caring environment, I will not only listen, but provide you with helpful skills to overcome the struggles. I realize one-size does not fit all and will work with your concerns. You set the goals, and we will get there together.

Watching your child navigate through a storm of intense emotions can be a challenging journey, as it seems they are facing battles that aren't always visible or easy to understand. You want so badly to feel confident that your child will find their way, that they will flourish and thrive despite what seems to be so many overwhelming obstacles in their path. Despite the challenges, your deepest desire is for your child to know they are cherished, resilient, and capable of handling their big feelings.
