ServicesI offer classical in-depth psychotherapy which focuses not on changing immediate behaviors, but creating lasting change. This type of work is best suited for children who have a higher intellectual capacity, but are held back by emotional reactivity. I also incorporate theory from modern neuroscience to provide comprehensive care. My treatment utilizes a variety of different mediums selected to enhance each individuals natural mode of expression. By utilizing talk, play and art therapies each child or adult has the opportunity to make themselves heard and be understood. I also provide school consultations and community speaking engagements.Additional ServicesGifted, Creative, Trauma, Startup, Entrepreneur, Depression, Stress, Anxiety, ADHD, Bipolar
