Working with ages 5 all the way to 99. I have come to realize everyone is different.

I work with clients to adjust the filters in life so that they can get to a point where they feel that they can once again breath and see clearly!

Other specialties include parenting, life transitions, stress management, conflict resolutions, communication issues, and adjustment disorders.
I have used this as the basis of treatment since starting 13 year ago to help identify thoughts and patterns that may have one stuck. This method helps clients to identity the unhealthy thoughts leading to their current emotional state, and the behaviors that coincide.
