Are you or your child struggling with moodiness, emotional reactivity, impulsivity or focus? Do you or your child have difficulty setting goals and consistently achieving them? Do you or your child WANT to do things right, but inevitably mess up? I specialize in helping people like you- people who mean well and want to do good- but somehow just "can't" be who they want to be. It is so painful to feel inadequate inside... and even more painful to watch your child feel that way... My current work as a school counselor and background in addictions has given me a unique perspective on how to help children and teens thrive. Too often untreated ADD tendencies get in the way of executive functioning and emotional regulation. Difficulty with healthy communication and self esteem can also cause dysregulation and withdrawal or acting out. I am currently working towards specialized certification in treating ADD because I believe there is so much more to good treatment than meds! I bring my whole personality into therapy- combining warmth, humor and compassion with professional knowledge and skill. I would be honored to actively help you or your child reach your full potential. No one I see is just "a case". I put my all into understanding you as a whole person and using a wide range of customized, cutting edge approaches. :)
