Specialties

Couples

I support each partner to care for themselves, and the relationship, while tending to communication, partnership, and intimacy. I work with couples in "happy" relationships as well as those in high distress situations or on the brinks of divorce.

Parents

I guide parents to nurture themselves while tending to the parent-child relationship with structure, connection, and responsiveness. Common areas of focus include peripartum mental health, understanding child/teen behavior, and overcoming overwhelm.

Families

I support families to develop responsive interactions among parents, children, siblings, and extended family of all ages. Common areas of focus include communication, loss, substance use, child/teen concerns, and family conflict.
