My Philosophy
We will explore your current thought processes and find new paths for your thoughts to take and then find support for them. Every person is different and together we will find what works best for you and/or your child. With children we will explore different tools to use to move forward in life and find practices that enhance mental health giving your child what they need to succeed in life as teens and adults.
