Her work with families helping them understand the relationships with those children who present challenging behaviors; helping  clients reconnect with their child, after, perhaps, years of dealing with challenging behavior they don't understand and that have become increasingly difficult, is her greatest reward.  Geri has developed strategies  that have helped many parents navigate the anger and explosive moments, their children can exhibit, and gives a different perspective and examples new and interesting parental skills  in an effort to help her clients regain the calm within the home and the relationship.

​

In the course of her work, and her lived experience, Geri has learned two things to be true, everyone needs someone, outside of their immediate circle, to talk to and everyone needs to be heard. Geri is here to listen and to hear you.
