I just ran across one of countless notes that my mom tucked under my pillow or into my backpack on some random day when I was in high school. Just
Hey there, parents of teens and tweens! Today we’re diving into the art of “reframing” – a parenting skill that can transform the way we connect with our kids and keep them

Most Sunday mornings, my goal is to share stories from the heart, and thoughts about parenting, relationships, and self-awareness. I will also keep you posted about upcoming events and courses.
I promise not to overload your inbox and I will never (ever) share your email. I take this space very seriously, so my promise to you is always be transparent and speak straight from my heart, as open and honest as I know how to be.
The best way to find out if we’re a fit to work together is to have a good old-fashioned conversation. I offer 25-minute complimentary, no-pressure chats so we can meet each other. On our call, I’ll ask you questions about your goals and be honest about whether I can help. If we both think it’s a good fit, you can schedule your first online or in-person therapy session. So easy.
I look forward to talking with you!
I look forward to discovering if we are a good fit.
