Do you feel that you or your child struggles with communicating wants, needs, thoughts, and feelings? Would you or your child benefit from the chance to build confidence and learn new tools to be successful in life? Have you lost hope in your ability to help yourself or your child?

Everyone wants the best in life for their child, them self, and their family; sometimes they just need guidance, support, new ideas, and hope. My experience stems from helping children, adults, and families, through individual, family, and group counseling, address stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, defiance, anger, grief and loss, divorce, low self-esteem, social skills, communication skills and more.  My counseling approach is both individualized and eclectic. I often use, but am not limited to, the cognitive behavioral approach, reality therapy, humanistic theory, positive psychology, directive and non-directive play therapy in sessions, and the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).  The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is an emotional needle free version of acupuncture that is based on new discoveries regarding the connection between your body's subtle energies, your emotions, and your health. EFT has been reported successful in thousands of cases covering a huge range of emotional, health, and performance issues. It often works where nothing else will.

I believe active listening, empathy, and the therapeutic relationship provide the foundation for positive change through counseling. It is my philosophy that with awareness and a positive outlook, change can happen. I believe you have already taken the first step by spending time on this site. It would be my honor to help you the rest of the way.
