Vice President for Clinical Services, Staff Psychologist
Philosophy
I believe that we can all benefit from maintaining our emotional health in the same was we maintain our physical health. This may mean checking in our emotional well being not because anything is “wrong”, but because it allows us to remain healthy and better manage our daily lives. I also believe we all have transitions and challenges and are all uniquely gifted to meet those challenges.
Sometimes we all (child, adolescent, young adults, adults) need someone to come along side us and/or our family to help us realize the ways we are living life well and to help navigate a pathway thru the challenges. I hope that I can partner with you and/or your child to navigate through the challenges and to celebrate in the victories.
