I have a straight-forward, solution-based focus on making progress quickly. I am known for helping parents reduce conflicts with their sons, in particular, and have an emphasis on making parenting boys much more enjoyable and effective. I also have extensive experience in helping couples become more understandable to one another, and in providing them with relationship skills which enable both individuals to have their needs met.I have worked with families and individuals dealing with substance abuse issues for many years, and am skilled at making what is seemingly an irrational disorder, more understandable to the individual as well as the family.I look forward to meeting with you and helping to make life enjoyable again.
