Life can be difficult and sometimes we need a map, tools or a coach to help us along the way. Navigating through your divorce transition, we will develop a relationship and an environment to help facilitate your most creative solutions.
Families are the foundation of our society, whether they are intact or restructured. I have dedicated my practice to helping families be the best they can be. My extensive background in family systems, grief counseling and mindfulness allows us to explore problems, build on strengths, and develop plans to resolve issues and improve functioning.
