approach & philosophy

straight talk, decisive action

I’m a trained, experienced therapist who also works as a mediator and Parent Coordinator. Although some problems just keep happening, I also know that people often don’t need years of therapy to figure stuff out. I know your time and money is valuable, and honor that with honest guidance.

And when an important relationship with your partner or child is at the eleventh hour, people often don’t have time for the deep psychological work that will move to the very root of things. 

Instead, you need practical action steps, support for executing them, and accountability for carrying them out.

I work efficiently, with no tiptoeing around, calling you on your BS, and holding everyone in the relationship accountable for their part in needed change.  All while knowing that you are in a tremendously difficult period of your life. You’ll receive emotional support and find the tools to emotionally support yourself.

And your decisions are yours

You come in for direct, compassionate guidance, not to be told what to do. The decisions are yours, and you will be supported in moving ahead in the ways you determine to be best, for your situation.
