Families and Parenting—You want to strengthen your family, but need guidance and support. Parenting a child or teen who is angry, anxious, or struggling can feel overwhelming—especially while balancing work, relationships, or the stress of separation and divorce. After 25 years as a therapist in community children’s mental health, I help parents, children, teens, and couples build connection, confidence, and communication. I also offer co-parenting and family therapy. Online sessions with evening availability.

After 25 years in children’s mental health, supporting distressed families with complex emotional and behavioral challenges, I have the skill to guide parents as they become more effective and empowered. Strategies that leverage self awareness, positive reinforcement, and improved attunement lead to success. I help individuals, families, and couples.

Co-parenting after divorce is tough. You’re trying to do what’s best for your child while managing stress, conflict, and emotional ups and downs. Feeling overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong—it means you care deeply. You don’t have to figure this out alone. Call today to consult for free with an experienced therapist who gets it.

My approach to therapy emphasizes the importance of listening to your body's wisdom, healing your relationship with yourself, and healing attachment wounds. When treating a child, I often start with the parent, to include you and provide tools to facilitate your child's healing. I always emphasize self-awareness through mindfulness, acceptance, and assertive communication.
