Positive Perceptions
About
Does it feel like you just can't seem to get others to hear you in the way you want to be heard? Feeling like no matter what you say others don't quite grasp the concept the way you intended? Does this disconnect cause you stress between you and your children, partner, parents, or other family members? Imagine if you could one day be able to have a conversation and connect with them, speaking their "language", with both of you having a deeper understanding of each other's goals and dreams. It takes all kinds of different minds to build a strong community, I can help you or your loved one find strong ways to connect with others.
My educational background includes two master's degrees in Mental Health Counseling and Rehabilitational Counseling, as well as undergraduate work in Special Education ( including Gifted and Twice Exceptional Students) , Psychology, and Interpersonal Relations. I use a combination of several different therapeutic styles to fit your personal needs.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I offer free consultations for you to be able to meet me and get a feel if we are a good match. If you feel comfortable then we begin with a intake session to gather history and to help me connect with others on your treament team if you prefer. After the intake I provide a recommendation for treatment, and any additional resources I feel may help.
How did you get started in this business?
I have always had an interest in psychology, but I realized this was my career when I was student teaching. I realized how many children and families I was working with were struggling to find connections and support. I opened my practice with that very goal in mind, to help other's be able to improve the skills needed to have meaningful connections - emotional recognition, emotional management, confidence, feelings of self-worth, and social skills and the ability to use skills like planning and adapting to improve social skills.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I work with children, young adults, and adults with ADHD, ADD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Gifted/High IQ or Twice Exceptional diagnoses, as well as individuals dealing with Anxiety, Parenting concerns, or Caregiver stress.
I also provide Neurodiverse/Neurotypical ( ND/NT) couples or family counseling.
