I am committed to methods that build on your existing strengths and enhance the relationships in your family. My work in parent education (What is parent education?) is deeply rooted in attachment and informed by neuroscience and trauma research because I recognize that families are a system which exists within larger social groups.

I exclusively use a developmental approach (instead of a behavioral one), to help families identify the root cause of undesired behavior. Understanding the unmet needs and lagging skills underneath a behavior enables parents to better address concerns in ways that cultivate relational safety and This lens enables the most productive and sustainable growth for both children and parents because it anchors all tools in the inherent goodness and wholeness of children (and parents) and their capacity to learn and meet (or exceed) expectations when they have the tools and support to do so. 

I take a trauma-informed, whole-person, strength-based, and attachment-centered approach to working with families. My work is rooted in psychodynamic, humanistic, and systems theory modalities.

Clients consistently appreciate my loving and warm style. I give parents the care they need to implement tools with confidence.
