          "Not flesh of my flesh nor bone of my bone but miraculously my own. Never forget for a single minute you didn't grow under my heart but in it" -                                                                                         - Fleur Conkling Heylinger

I work extensively with children, adolescents and young adults. As a team we will identify new ways to overcome the obstacles of life's difficulties. Areas that are frequently addressed include anxiety/depression, identity exploration, social and peer pressures, mother/daughter relationships, peer and romantic relationships, trauma/abuse, loss/grief, blended families and attachment and abandonment issues within separated and/or divorced families.

Through an interactive and supportive approach I can provide an abundance of encouragement, guidance, insight, and understanding for you and your family. I respect and allow my clients and their families to navigate their own way as it best fits them. I have built a foundation on the belief that dedication and collaboration pave the path to new beginnings and stronger relationships.
