Welcome to my training website. I have a passion for teaching and coaching therapists in play therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy. I bring a Systems Approach to my work with families, communities, and business structures, which I find deeply fulfilling.

Whether you are seeking training, supervision, or consultation, I look forward to connecting with you!
