Profession(s)

Mental Health Professional, Psychologist

I work as both a child specialist and a collaborative coach. I am committed to helping children, adolescents and adults clarify, and remove, impediments to realizing their own dreams and desires. I am also committed to the collaborative goal of helping each family member feel heard and respected, regardless of age or status. I feel this is most effectively accomplished through developing each person's own effective voice, and through advocating for his/her interests, and the interests of his/her family as a whole, within the collaborative team.
