A warm hello to you! I specialize in relationships, and not just romantic relationships. Everything we do in life is relational, when you think about it. When we are with our partners, ourselves, our families, spirits, nature—everything we contact is a form of relating (sometimes consciously, sometimes subconsciously). Our relating choices are typically informed by our families of origin, life experiences, trauma, soul wisdom, education, culture, and much more. I offer an opportunity to deeply explore your unique relating. We are fellow travelers on Earth, each on a remarkable journey of mind, body, and spirit.

Children experiencing ongoing stress, internal conflicts and or trauma, often, more than other's their own age, resort to acting-out at home, at school, and in the community, and will do things such as; not following or ignoring directions, yelling, crying, screaming, hitting, throwing things, as well as fighting with sibling, peers, and adults. Parents do their best, but sometimes feel overwhelmed or even guilty, where despite all of their efforts, the child continues to misbehave. The hardest part, is that parents and kids want resolution, a return to a better relationship , but sometimes it's hard to know where to start.
