My Approach to Helping

Kids didn't come with an instruction manual? Frustrated and worn out by discipline strategies that only ever seem to backfire and cause more problems?
Using my training and expertise in both therapy and parenting theory, parents I work with develop effective tools for overcoming parenting challenges. These are tools that they feel both confident and positive using in their homes. And through the use of a specific, proven system for gaining client feedback about the direction and progress of our work together, they remains "in charge" of the sessions and able to direct our focus on the issues that matter most to them.
Parents I have worked with have often told me that they felt a great sense of relief after seeking help for their parenting challenges. They appreciate the customized, respectful approach and the sense of empowerment that comes from having effective tools in their back pockets.
And sometimes being an effective parent means taking care of yourself. If you're frustrated, anxious, feeling down and worn out, I can help. We'll work together to get you feeling confident, calm, and capable...the best possible version of yourself.
