About Me

I consult with parents who:
* worry and are deeply concerned about their children and their children's future
* are caught in unpleasant and unhealthy reactions and interactions ["dances"] with their children
* long to create a positive climate in their home
* wish to optimize their parenting
* desire to cope better with the effects of divorce and the challenges of building a new family
I work within a specific framework that I call Conscious Parenting. Withing this approach I am able to give you effective tools, skills, and a unique corresponding underyling attitude to assist and guide you to better cope with, relate to, and respond to your children.
