WHY WORK WITH ME? RELATIONSHIP THERAPY LIGHTS ME UP!
I bring a rare and optimal blend of wisdom, compassion, education and a treasure chest of skills and tools to my work with people in challenging relationships . . . . more
HEAT OF THE MOMENT SUPPORT - Get the critical help you need RIGHT when you're in trouble! Doing this can accelerate change - You learn how to handle conflict when you're in the thick of it rather than reflecting on it in a scheduled session.
DO THESE CHALLENGES

MY WORK WITH CHILDREN: I choose to work with children WITH at least one parent, though individual sessions with children and/or parents can happen in conjunction with parent/child sessions. This is because what's happening with a child is almost always related to the relationship s/he has with the parent AND it is highly likely that the parent could benefit from learning new skills to utilize with the child.
