Areas of Expertise

 

I've devoted myself to working with adults and children and I am continually touched by the trust placed in me. From ages 21 to 87, I've helped adults navigate emotional challenges, relationship issues, parenting struggles, and life transitions----whether chosen or unchosen. If you decide to work with me, I am by your side when you break through roadblocks and arrive at a path that opens your life to more aliveness, confidence, calmness and connectedness. 

 

I work with children ages 5 and up using play therapy. Play is the "language" children use to communicate and by applying psychoanalytic interventions through play, I tap into their resilience and inner resources to help resolve problems.  

 

I work with parents and caregivers by teaching Reflective Parenting skills that improve the relationship between child and adult by promoting understanding, empathic communication and effective limit-setting. Experiencing your child as out of control can cause overwhelming feelings and ineffective reactions making such situations even harder. This program helps parents better navigate their emotions which, in turn, helps their child regulate theirs.
