"Helping families, children and adolescents
grow well."

Emory I work with parents who want to bring their children up well - without using the shame, blame, and pain they experienced when they were kids.

I work with families where people don’t like themselves or each other very much anymore—and they want to change that.

One professional, bringing together both Parent Education and Family Therapy skills to help your family grow well.

I help parents, teens and children transform their family by:
  • each taking personal responsibility

  • building new cooperation through agreements—not rules

  • reconnecting again with love and optimism for the future.
I offer:

  • Parent Consultations
    Mom has had it with Christine. She talks back, she's always tormenting her little brother, she doesn't do what she is asked, and she has raging temper tantrums when she doesn't get her way. Mom can't get any help from Christine's Dad, because he is proud of Christine's feisty ’attitude’.

    Solving your children's behavior problems and increasing their self-discipline, respect, and responsibility. Training in parent skills includes the use of encouragement, natural and logical consequences, improved communication skills, and negotiating agreements.

  • Family Therapy
    Marcus has been hard to deal with ever since he entered his teen-age years, his grades are poor and he always seems irritable-now his parents are even more worried because they found out he has been drinking frequently with his friends. When they try to talk to him about it, he shuts down and refuses to answer their questions.

    Helping families understand their behavior toward each other, develop new strategies to solve problems and encourage cooperation.

  • Play Therapy for Families & Children
    Jonathan has become increasingly clingy since his Dad went overseas. He refuses to sleep alone because he is afraid of the "monsters in my bad dreams." Lately, his teacher has communicated her concern to Jonathan's mother because he seems so "spacey" in school.

    Using play therapy techniques to help adults and children communicate about difficult topics, release painful emotions, and find new ways to be close.
