Caring for and guiding our children is often our most rewarding and challenging role in life.  Yet parents do not receive much support for the constant decisions and issues that come with this journey.  Most of us need encouragement, feedback, new ideas, or help with making a plan somewhere along the way.   My work as a therapist, parent educator, and counselor allows me to provide this customized support for you.

I believe in “working with” your child.  Accepting children for who they are and not for what they do is important for their well-being and development. Studies consistently show that children who are raised with unconditional love become responsible and respectful adults.    

As parents, we often make the mistake of focusing on our children’s behavior, which is only the surface of what’s going on.  We need to identify and address the needs and emotions under the surface, the roots that are driving the behavior. Understanding these needs and maintaining a connection with our child are primary factors in parenting children of all ages.
