When you’re in emotional pain and finding it difficult to cope with your daily responsibilities, it often helps to talk to someone who is objective, non-judgmental and experienced in helping people to manage the ups and downs that life sometimes brings. I am experienced in helping parents and their teens and preteens to find ways to peacefully coexist. I can help when you’re struggling with relationship issues to explore what you need and how to get it.
