Serving Women, Teens, Children and their Families

---

Women make the world go round.  With a rich emotional make up, a deep capacity for relationships and a generous and giving spirit, women can find themselves in a place  in life where it's their turn to receive support and care.  

If you find yourself in a difficult place in life, let our decades of experience go to work for you.  We promise to take the time to get to know you, explore your hopes and dreams,and  understand  the impact of  your life experiences. 

If you are struggling with trauma or abuse- either past or present,   we will build on your inner strength and resilience to begin the healing process.

Whether you are a troubled teen or a teen with troubles, we love being a part of your solution!

As a former family therapist in a hospital setting, I have worked with hundreds of teens that have struggles with family, peers, school and mental health issues.  There are better days ahead.

I will give you the respect, compassion and skills you need to begin to turn things around.  A little bit of humor can make life a lot easier to handle.

If you are having difficulty communicating with your parents  I can help bridge that gap.  I use active listening to help parents and teens slow down and really listen to each other. 

If you are struggling to find your place, I can walk with you.  Together we can discover your strengths, unique qualities and develop the skills you need to get through the teen years and start  "adulting"- or not.   It's your life- your choice.

It's a fun place to be.

Working with children requires a special dedication.  That is why our office is filled with art materials, a sand table, puppets, games and lots of gadgets and concoctions to engage your child in therapy.  

My role as your child's therapist is to discover how your child experiences their world.  I provide a safe place for your child to express emotions.  In a playful manner, your child can try out new ways of coping with their emotions and find more effective ways to interact with others..

My commitment to you as a parent is to engage you in the therapeutic process.  You are your child's best resource.  Together we will find working strategies that you can use at home to build on your child's success.
