I'm offering in-person sessions in Los Altos.

Do you have concerns about your child? Would you like a supportive listener to partner with you in addressing challenges?  I listen, reflect and offer perspective and ideas. I believe in the power of connection and relationships and that we are all doing our best.

I love working with children and support them in coping with issues such as anxiety, self confidence, aggression, school and social issues, depression, loss, and family relationships. My work utilizes an attachment-based, emotion-focused-approach. I also teach parents tools that focus on connection, play, processing feelings, and learning new ways of thinking.  

Over the years, I have seen how important it is for parents to receive non-judgmental listening and support.  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.  

Please call or email me to see if we are a good fit.  You can read more about the services I offer on this page.
