THE DECISION TO START THERAPY CAN BE A DIFFICULT ONE


I hope the information here will assist you in finding the right help.

My philosophy for working with people is that everyone has within them the potential to

heal and grow.  Often people seeking therapy have experienced something that has prevented 

them from accessing their own healing potential.  They have lost track or have yet to discover their 

own strengths, skills and gifts.  As a therapist it is my privilege to help people move towards their 

personal and emotional goals.

In working with Children,

I use, a Developmentally Appropriate  Approach. 

 I meet the child where they are developmentally- 

adjusting for trauma and life experiences.  Their emotional needs are the compass to the therapeutic path we take together. Play therapy- in various forms- is the primary modality.
