A Gentler Approach to Therapy.
I offer a different, EASIER and more EFFECTIVE ways to help than traditional therapy. I teach life skills and empower our daughters by fully listening to them.
Although very therapeutic in nature, I am not your traditional therapist. I do not have the clinical licensure to even call myself a therapist. But I do have the experience - of over 50 years of life, remembering vividly how much of a struggle middle school and high school were. Even though I was an A student, learning came easier for me than some, but I struggled with fitting in and finding friends I could trust, count on, and love - and have the same for me. I don’t believe there is a single gal out there who did not endure some terrible treatment or behaviour from another peer.
Everyone has had their fair share of Mean Girls.
TRUST in VULNERABILITY.
I allow your daughter to open up, talk about anything that’s on their mind - the good, the bad, and the ugly.
SIMPLY PUT.
I teach your daughter how NOT TO TOLERATE MEAN GIRL BEHAVIORS. I did not let my girls get away with simple unkindness and taught them as much about compassion as a parent can. But I understand the parent-child dynamics and the struggle of how much of a “friend” to your child should you be.
This is where I step in and watch your daughter SHINE.
I guide by being her friend. Her BFF. I am her friend, a sister, a loyal confidant. And I am here for as long as she wants me.
I do not struggle with that “friend-parent” dynamic, as I am not a parent to your daugther.
I do not struggle with the “patient-doctor” dyanmics, as I am not her therapist.
I will not experience emotional heartache or any level of disappointment as a parent naturally does. I can help her digest and unpack her most fearful and shameful thoughts, feelings, and actions. We focus on how to choose positive reactions to negative events and learn which things we have no control over and which we need to take firm action on.
I clarify the confusion these girls often don’t want to even admit to themselves—and that they feel bad for! Many times, it stems from a complete misunderstanding or pure confusion that eludes our daughters to seek advice from their just-as-confused peers. Often, this vulernable help-seeking is turned against them, and their weaknesses become easy target to prey upon.
Raging hormones and huge shifts in confidence, resilience and self-love begin. Let these shifts foster growth and encouragement - rather than the loss of the spark in your daughter’s eye.

Kind, empathetic, understanding
I am just like an older, more mature, less hormonal, more emotionally balanced “Big Sister” - You Always Wanted (for your daughter, or for YOU!!.
I offer family and individual mentoring, friendship, and sisterhood. Sisters always have a special bond, so part of my goals are to decrease sibling rivalry and enhance the relationship you currently have with your daughter. The strongest bond comes from the Mother, but you may find yourself to attached, or too emotional to handle all your daughter’s problems, struggles, drama.
I can ease that struggle and strengthen the strongest bond between a mother and daughter. I am, and have always been close to my own mother. We are best friends to this day, but it wasn’t always like that! Middle and High School were rough (that’s an understatement) but even then, I figured out (or was shown) healthy ways to process and understand what was happening inside my body and mind, as much as how others affected me.
I was a fun-loving, happy-go-lucky tween/teen and now in my second half of a century of age, I am again that person, but with the wisdom that comes along with being a mother to two daughters (20 and 18) and a loving spouse of almost 25 years. I have 3 dogs, 3 cats, and a lot of love and understanding to share!
