She helps people with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anxiety, depression, grief, and other life stresses.

She spent two decades working with District Court and Family Services, focusing on divorce, custody, and related family legal questions.

She commonly helps people work through family of origin issues, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and abandonment issues.
