Consultation Program:

Now more than ever, I sense parents needing direction with their daughters. That is why I am now offering a comprehensive program for parents that can serve as a “road map” or action plan for her optimal growth. After a consultation and learning about your daughter: her strengths and interests as well as needs and areas of growth. I will create a plan that keeps in mind the essential, holistic aspects of her life: emotional, mental, social, physical, and spiritual. With the “whole girl” perspective, I can create the variety of ways you can support her and tools and technique to try. After a few weeks of practicing different ideas and methods, we will meet again to trouble shoot any problem areas and fine tune the plan to further meet your daughter’s specific needs.
