I have experience working with children and adolescents struggling to navigate the changing structures of their family system whether that is by separation or conflict.
You want a happy, healthy family but the kids are fighting you, the in-laws or your parents are stressing you, or your kids are grown and you don't know what to do anymore because they aren't there. What is a normal family supposed to be like? Will my kids be ok or am I messing them up? Real fears from real parents. Will my relationship survive or how can I have a healthy relationship after years of bad ones? Parenting and relationships are hard and uniquely complicated. I see the struggle and am here to help guide your family into a better way that works instead of redoing the same old thing that hasn't been working.

My background in teaching also makes me especially suited for working with children using sand play, games, and art in addition to traditional talk therapy. I'm trained in systems therapy, which means I view problems and solutions holistically to include the entire family and their natural home, work, and school environments.
