Are you questioning your relationship with substances or other behaviors, and want to make changes? Is your child engaging in substance use or other risky/addictive behaviors, and you want to artfully guide them toward healthier decisions? Would you like support creating family screen guidelines that keep your kids healthy, safe, and responsible, while reducing battles over it all? Are you disconnected from your adolescent and eager for "teen whispering" skills to improve your relationship? Does your teen/young adult bristle at “therapy" and want more of a "chill wise mentor" to help them strengthen coping skills? Then I’ve got you!
My own rough teen years sparked a 30+ year career as a school counselor, addiction clinician and parenting coach. I work from a “brief solution-focused” model, aiming to empower you with the knowledge, tools, skills and confidence desired as soon as possible. I won’t be the right fit for someone needing long-term, more intensive or crisis support.
My own family and close social circle are diverse humans, and I have training and comfort in working with LGBTQ+, racial, cultural and religious diversity. Contact me for a free 15 min consultation to see if I’m the right person to work with.

My approach is nonjudgmental, collaborative, and will be tailored to fit who you are and what will best help you reach your goals. We'll focus on solutions vs problems, and strengths vs weaknesses, with a steady dose of humor likely. I often give "homework" to keep you reflecting, experimenting with and implementing new skills in between sessions.
