You just can’t get over it. You are feeling worried, tired or sad more than you want to be or are struggling in your relationship. Your past keeps haunting you.
There is hope.
I am a counselor who specializes in helping people find and stay on the path toward fulfillment and healing. I focus on really “getting” you, and then working with you to find the peace and happiness you want. If you are ready to start healing from the things that keep you from being your best, please don’t let another day go by before you turn your life around. Please call (424) 571-2273 or request an appointment in the form to the right. I very much look forward to hearing your story.

- Child and Teen Counseling
It can be frustrating for parents when their children are going through a hard time and they do not know why or what to do. We wish they would just say, "Mom, I am upset that you and Dad are divorcing, and want to talk to you about it."

In counseling children, we use a variety of methods that allow them to communicate and work through these issues in a way that works for them, such as play therapy, sand tray therapy, art therapy, and talk therapy for older children and teens.
