My practice focuses on parent coaching and support. I can work with you in a traditional manner, where we meet in my office or by video on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. We will collaborate to identify and establish achievable goals for you or your family. 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. 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.

I work with general mental health concerns such as: Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, Social Anxiety and Phobia, and general Learning Differences.
