Children and adolescents face problems that are specific to their age group. With my twenty years of experience as an educator and principal and therapeutic skills, I strive to help children and their parents with these particular issues. I also specialize in empowering individuals, families, and groups to set and accomplish mental, emotional and health goals.

 

Clients will work towards resolving problems and learning new skills in a supportive and confidential environment where they can talk openly and honestly. I focus on the whole person (mind, body, and spirt) in order to aide clients in getting a proper balance in life.

As a former teacher, assistant principal, and current principal, I have twenty years of first-hand knowledge of the stresses that students face on a daily basis. For example, academic performances, test anxiety, bullying, and peer pressure are just some of the plagues that face our youth.

 

Additionally, I provide a safe and caring environment that promotes and encourages clients to discuss their feelings. I help clients identify goals and potential solutions to problems which cause emotional turmoil; seek to improve communication and coping skills; strengthen self-esteem; and promote behavior change and optimal mental health.
