Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Parenting will be one of the most challenging events of your life -- often a life long journey. With today's stressful outside influences, parents are often confused about what to do or how to help their children. Children and teens are faced with options and decisions never before a part of childhood. Parents need helpful tools and ideas -- and how to be consistent in parenting.
Parenting is one of the hardest jobs anyone will ever do. The emotional and physical energy required is relentless and can often trigger insecurities, childhood wounds, and tender areas of ourselves that haven't been worked through. Instead of focusing on the child, I focus on helping the parent access resources inside and outside of themselves so that they can be present to themselves and to their families.
It truly does take a village sometimes. Too many of us have seen or heard things that may not be best for our children and family structure. We can help look at your specific family / needs
Parenting is the hardest job you will ever do - and it doesn't come with a clear, concise instruction manual! By utilizing positive parenting techniques and attachment models, I assist parents in creating a healthy relationship with their children that is realistic and makes sense.

I have been working with children and their parents for over 30 years. I focus on behavior modification and improving communication in the home. I have written several parenting and children's books that are available on Amazon. I am the parent of two adult children.
My Imago training offers strong and practical guidelines for parenting in authentic, loving ways. Reading "Parenting from the Inside Out" by Dan Seigel, M.D. is a great book to understand the approach that I use with parents.
