Below is information about how I help.
I’m a mom of 3 and I understand the struggles parents experience from both my life experiences and from my professional training. A common struggle occurs when children express themselves in ways that their parents don’t understand. This can result in frustration and behavioral concerns. I help families navigate through this by translating for the parents and helping children learn better tools for coping and words for expressing themselves in a positive way. I also help women through life issues, stress and past traumas.
