As a mental  health practitioner I strive to help people with the challenges they  encounter by putting their strengths, skills  and wisdom in the  forefront. Painful experiences are processed through work that  encourages clients to re-gain a sense of calm, and balance. Would it not  be better to live with our difficult experiences with equanimity? a  sense of evenness and objectivity?

And... with calmness comes solutions.

I consider my space a "thinking-out-loud" place. 

My work includes, and is not limited to:

~Life adjustments.

~Raising children in these challenges times.

~Working through grief, stress and overwhelm.

~Managing mood changes and disappointing lows.

~Helping young children and adolescents through crisis and social-emotional difficulties related to school and home life.

~Developing strategies with young children clients with autism to better fit in their social milieus.

~Understanding the "roles" different symptoms play and how to develop more effective coping strategies. 

~Supporting couples in the evolution of their relationships.
