When the family needs help having the conversation.
I provide focused education, parent coaching and facilitated parent-young person conversation around difficult digital, sexual-health and safety concerns. A practical referral resource for your families, the goal is to complement your clinical work — not replace it.

23 years at the intersection of kids, parents and difficult conversations.
Focused family support
More than two decades helping grown-ups and young people talk about digital and safety concerns in clear, age-appropriate language.
Specialized prevention work
23 years specifically addressing child safety online, with specialized experience in sexual exploitation and other complex digital risks.
Family rapport
A practiced ability to communicate sensitive information to adults and young people in the same room in a way that feels natural, respectful and easy to understand, absorb, and utilize.
Focused education and family conversation.
I am not seeking to replace the counselor or establish a competing clinical relationship. My role is narrower: helping families understand the issue, develop a common language and hold a conversation that parents often feel unprepared to facilitate on their own.
Clinical diagnosis or treatment.
I do not present this service as psychotherapy, medical treatment, legal advice or crisis response. When ongoing clinical care is appropriate, the family should remain with or return to the appropriate licensed professional.
