Welcome to Nora's website!
Life is full of rewards and challenges. Therapy is essential for us to have a better relationship with our loved
ones by recognizing and accepting ourselves. In a safe and welcoming environment, my role is to find the best in yourself.
I specialize in working with teenagers, couples, children, individuals and adults. I provide "Caring Moms" and "Caring
Teens" workshops in an intimate and small group setting in my office. I look forward to guide you with your challenges.I
will help you explore your strengths and weaknesses in a non-judgmental approach. Stay in
