A lot of fighting going on? Work it out NOW! I help individuals and families improve the quality of their lives. Parents are included to help the issues our children face today to form a strong family unit and get through tough times. I have been trained in many modalities, including psychotherapy, communication, play therapy, education, visualization, meditation, hypnosis and more.

I specialize in utilizing play therapy to help children work through conflict and learn coping skills and have over 25+ years experience. PET (Parent Effectiveness Training), Parenting Teens, Adult Children with Aging Parents (The Sandwich Generation).
