Specialties

Effective Parenting. Intimate, open, enlivening relationships within oneself and with others. Utilizing one's strengths to recover from trauma. Confused, frustrated and worried about your child's difficulties with behavior (outbursts, lack of follow through, resistance, withdrawal, social challenges) or learning? My decades working with families to identify and treat the underlying causes of challenging behavior and learning (sometimes psychological, often neuro-cognitive) brings you a seasoned, mature, empathic professional consultant. I work collaboratively with you to figure out what is going on and find solutions for now and over the long haul for your child and you. There IS effective help for parents of challenging children to decrease their stress, ameliorating the high divorce rate and long term medical consequences. Additionally, I help individuals, couples and families identify their values, strengths and dreams and find ways to build those into their daily lives
