I help people who feel stressed and overwhelmed learn to manage their emotions so they can be the best version of themselves. I want to hear what i...

In my practice, I see adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families, and here’s a little bit about how I work: I work in the here-and-now and have background training in Gestalt theory and util...
