The practice has since grown to serve the social and emotional needs of the larger community. Let us be your partner to the top. Our therapists use a holistic approach, incorporating natural supports and untapped positive environmental resources into their client's life.
We use CBT, DBT, Trauma Focused-CBT, EMDR, behavioral activation, and mindfulness therapies in our practice. Helping your family through tough times and enabling better communication and family wellbeing.

I offer an informal, 30-minute meeting with you at my office or via video/phone, to see if we are a good fit to work together. This is not a therapy session, per se, it is a time for us to get to know each other and for you to ask questions about me and my work and to get a little feel for what it would be like to work together.
We offer an informal, 15-minute meeting via video/phone, to see if we are a good fit to work together. This is not a therapy session, rather, a time for us to get to know each other and for you to ask questions about the therapist and get a little feel for what it would be like to work together. The one question we all have as prospective clients is "can you help me?"
Your teenager has worked hard throughout high school and finally been accepted to college. There are cheers but deep down probably a lot of fears too-- the world your teenager knows (home, sense of belonging, community, childhood friends) will shortly become turned upside down. College is a place of growth, adventure, independence, and learning-many say the best period of their life.
Everybody lies sometimes. It's part of life, and sometimes it's even appropriate for your child to lie. If a school classmate asks if they like their new shoes, saying yes may be the appropriate response, even if they don't. Most of the time, however, young people lie to cope with difficult feelings related to embarrassment, shame, low self-esteem, to avoid an unfavorable consequence from an adult, or to get out of doing something.
Gone are the days when your kid gets home from school and plays in the street until dusk with neighbors. Seeing a child spend dozens of hours per week gaming or watching Youtube videos of others gaming (yes, really!) is the new norm. Maybe your child has social anxiety, low self-esteem, has been a victim of bullying and is using gaming to meet their social needs.
