I’m so glad that you found your way to my website!
I can’t wait to help you get back to the happy and healthy family relationships that you want. If you are struggling with a relationship with your children or spouse and find yourself constantly frustrated, depressied, or anxious now is the time to re-connect and I am confident I can help you do just that!

Every therapy session is individually planned based on your goals, but overall you can expect that we will spend time getting to know you and your child, the problems that you are experiencing and what your goals for treatment are. I will then involve you and your child in activities and interventions that are individualized to meet your goals. My treatment style usually involves play-based activities such as crafts, games and interaction. My hope is that in each and every session you will enjoy your child and leave with more love and understanding of one another. Between sessions, I might ask you to do certain activities at home as well.
