About

I started my work with children and families, but I quickly realized that "monkey see, monkey do" was playing out right in front of me. Children were mimicking their parents' communication and relationship style, causing conflict in the home. The change has to start with the parents because they are the main role model for children as they grow up. Teaching couples healthy communication, conflict resolution, and awareness to themselves and their partners allows my couples to be better parents. There is no such thing as perfection, but there is a way to engage in conflict with love, respect, and compassion for your partner. It does not take the heavy feelings away, but it can decrease the hurt and continuous cycles couples find themselves engaging in every day.
