Children live within the context of their family, and treatment can be most effective when the family is engaged as well. In many cases, we will start with parent education/training using The Nurtured Heart Approach®. This method empowers parents in identifying and energizing their children’s strengths and greatness, leading the way to their children’s success. I may also work with the child or adolescent individually. The needs of each particular family are assessed on a case by case basis.

I work with adults in individual therapy. My approach is one of empowerment, helping the person recognize and build on their inner strengths. We do this together within the safe therapist-client relationship, and using different modalities that include mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and relational therapy.

I incorporate The Nurtured Heart Approach® in sessions when working with particular families or individuals. In addition, I teach this transformative approach to groups of parents, educators, and other mental health professionals, so they can in turn implement it with their children, students, and clients. Please contact me for further details.
