My Misson
My mission is to assist clients and families in achieving balance. As a therapist, I utilize a variety of approches for each unique client. I have a passion for working with teenagers, young adults, and their families. During times of transition, clients greatly benefit from the logical and warm sounding board I provide.
For adolescents and young adults I have found a niche in my ability to relate to the "millennium generation" while establishing trust and rapport. Not only do I view myself as a role model, but a professional who provides a non-judgmental and safe environment that supports individual and familial growth and change.
For parents, I am the liaison. I provide psycho-education and support to help increase communication and build a stronger relationship with their child. Many parents confide that they want to develop a closer relationship with their child; this is a goal I strive for.
As a professional speaker and published author I am passionate about empowering young women and educating parents. From developmental disorders to eating disorders my expertise and training in a variety of specialties allows me to help others help themselves, and assist parents in understanding their children.
