About

Psychotherapy Over 30 years ago, I began practicing with a focus on early identification of children with ADHD and Learning Disabilities.

As a divorce coach, I will assist you in articulating your goals and the interests that underlie those goals. As the child specialist, I will meet with the children to learn about their developmental needs and to bring their voices into the process of decision making so that your choices will be well informed. Through the collaborative process, you will have opportunity to develop improved communication skills, increased understanding of your children’s needs and assist in transforming your family structure to better meet your goals and interests.
