As a therapist with 23 years experience and an educator, I bring compassion, understanding and humor to a therapeutic relationship with children and adults. Whether you have identified a specific issue that is impacting your life or your child’s, or if you have identified a feeling of dissatisfaction with life in general and would like support in personal growth, we can work together to realize your goal of living a life that is satisfying.
