Strategies for Helping Individuals Navigate Emotions

WELCOME TO MY PRACTICE
I have been providing services to children, adolescents and adults for over 25 years. Whatever age, stage or phase we may be in, there are unique and evolving challenges that accompany every step of the way. Whether it is having a new baby, parental challenges, or taking care of an aging parent, transitions can elicit overwhelming feelings. Building a tool box and learning strategies to help adapt and cope with whatever obstacle presents is what I strive to do with each and every client.
In addition to providing psychotherapy, I have been consulting at local pre-schools and elementary schools for several years. I provide assistance and training to teachers by devising strategies to help promote positive changes with regard to a particular student, or the classroom as a whole.
I have also worked with parents to help support them from pregnancy through raising teens and beyond. I facilitated new and expectant parent groups and have also conducted workshops for parents of children with social anxiety and selective mutism. Given my diverse clinical experience, I have many tools and resources to draw from.
