No two families are alike. That simple fact calls for utmost flexibility and creative intelligence.

Sometimes we see this as a gift and we truly appreciate being part of our families. At other times, it is hard to remember joy and connection when our oldest child still hasn’t finished their homework or our youngest child doesn’t understand the concept of bedtime. Drawing from my years of experience working with families one on one and in groups, I offer support and assistance with implementing healthier family dynamics and practical, workable solutions.

I want families to be able to enjoy spending time together instead of feeling depleted, frustrated, and stressed out.

I am familiar with and incorporate a host of ideas in my practice such as play listening, free range and attachment parenting, Reggio-Emilia and Montessori philosophies, the Hanen and Milieu prelinguistic approaches, and active and compassionate listening through the Re-evaluation Counseling and Thich Nhat Hanh models.
