I support teens through adults.  My practice focuses on parent coaching, college transition coaching, adulting, and general coaching for wellness and behavioral health.  I can work in office or by video. We will collaborate to identify and establish achievable goals for you or your family member. Progress toward those goals will be reviewed often.

Alternatively, I can be part of your family’s health maintenance team as a concierge or “on call” parent coach or college student coach. You can access my services as needed. I view my role as similar to that of a family team member that keeps your family running with optimal emotional health, just as your family physician would support your physical health.
