How Can I Help?
Working with creative people or people who love creative people is my favorite thing to do. Let’s connect and help bring even more creative arts to the world.
Coaching
Parenting teens and tweens requires skills. Parenting creatively driving teens and tweens can often require even more specialized skills.
Get support and guidance to help you navigate the ups and downs of parenting an adolescent who is involved in the arts.
Although I am a licensed mental health professional, when working with you as your coach, I am not engaged with you in the role of a mental health professional.
Coaching is not psychotherapy, nor is it a substitute for the diagnosis and/or treatment of mental health conditions by a psychologist, psychiatrist, or other licensed mental health professional.
