By definition, the word bullying means a repeated pattern of behavior where someone has power over someone else.

​

Since bullying is often misunderstood, it doesn’t always get addressed until it’s too late. Bullying can lead to low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, poor grades, job loss and a multitude of other issues that may not always present themselves to the public eye. Bullying can have negative long-term effects, which is why it’s important to seek help if you’re experiencing negative effects that do not go away.

​

I work with may children, adults and families who have experienced emotional pain due to bullying. I can provide additional empowerment and skills to address the bullying with those who have been affected, and help create a stronger, more positive support system. If the situation does escalate to the point where school intervention is needed, I can help guide and moderate the meetings that take place at the school.

​

I believe “knowledge is power”, which is why I regularly speak on this topic at schools and community events, and have been a guest contributor on several podcasts, publications and other broadcasts. I am also the founder of The Empowerment Space and authored The Empowered Child: How to Help Families Cope, Communicate and Conquer Bullying.

I do my best to make therapy sessions as convenient as possible. I am available to meet in-person, over the phone or Skype*. 

*Skype therapy sessions are available for clients residing in California.
