About

You lie awake at night, going over the day again and wondering where it all went wrong. Before you have time to figure it out, yet another hectic day has begun. As a parent of a child who has experienced a challenge or traumatic experience, it's like you're being asked to do it all. The problem is that there's never enough energy, time, or information to manage the difficult behaviors. Before you know it, you've seen multiple therapists and nothing seems to work. The parenting suggestions just don't fit the socially awkward tantrums, fits of rage, or your child's need to control. You're nearing the end of your rope, but what's next? You need someone to help your family reconnect amidst the unique challenges of adoption, foster care or traumatic experiences. I'll be your guide and will teach you specific methods that bring hope and healing to your family. Together we'll make breakthroughs and create lasting connections to reduce the effects of harm and promote lasting emotional growth.
