Personal Experience
Children’s behavior delights me!  It is both a subtle and undeniably flamboyant language filled with meaning.  My whole working life has been a journey to understand this language.  It helps that I love to connect with people playfully and imaginatively.  A desire to learn this language has been the magic that opens the door to a child’s world and allows me to get close, be trusted, and eventually understand.  

 

An immense love of learning tempers my playful attitude.  With a master’s degree in education and teaching certificates in Montessori education, I started my career as a teacher and eventually a school counselor.  I connected children’s natural curiosity about the world to a love of learning and removed barriers to that learning.  I have a master’s degree in behavioral science which led me to become a family therapist.  Further education has led me to specialize in children and teens.  At heart I am family-centered because I believe to be truly helpful, the environment around the child can shape them.  

 

To work with parents, I sought more masters-level work to become a Certified Parent Coach.  Now I get to use all that I have learned to translate the language of children and teens for parents.  I get to help them navigate these raucous and impetuous years to create the most loving and of course playful family connections.
