Becoming a parent, and being flexible and resilient in how you parent your developing child, is one of life's greatest challenges. We are often unprepared, overwhelmed, and not well supported. Working with families with children of all ages, I specialize in helping strengthen the parent-child relationship. I provide tools to foster resilience and wellbeing, whether it be during periods of transition (e.g., prenatal/postpartum periods, transition to school, separation/divorce), or during regular day-to-day parenting. By helping you work through your struggles that arise with your children, you can raise happy, confident children.

Every relationship goes through phases of harmony and disruption. Partners generally have more trouble knowing how to move into the repair or healing process after things have gone awry. Three decades of research into relationships has offered invaluable insights in the tangible and specific skills and habits that happy couples rely on and use. When these are absent or not cultivated, relationships go into disruption and partners will not know how to find the love and closeness they’re looking for.
