As a parent myself, both biological and step-mother, I understand the difficulties in parenting children of all ages. I guide parents navigate this very hard journey by improving their communication and relationship with their children, and forming a stronger, more secure bond.
Parenting skills training provides caregivers of children of all ages with a fundamental understanding of effective parenting practices in order to raise children, from toddlers to teens, and encourage them to feel good about themselves. Learning and applying effective parenting skills also helps establish a positive relationship between parents and their children.
Parenting can be overwhelming and have an impact on your daily life, causing problems at work and at home. My goal is to identify factors that contribute to the problem and help to make a plan to minimize it's effects so that you can be more relaxed and experience safety within yourself.
Parenting is the hardest job in the world. It can feel particularly challenging when trying to be the best parent possible while balancing all of your other responsibilities. In therapy, you’ll have personal support to guide you and learn tools to help you feel better. You will learn coping skills to help reduce feelings of stress, anxiety, sadness, or being overwhelmed. This type of support is catered to your needs so that you can be your best self. Therapy will be your space for YOU.
Parenting coaching helps you navigate through the challenging transitions of your child's life. Depending on your own and your child specific needs, we will set together the goals and strategies that you can implement in your daily life.
Parents have the most amount of power for good in the lives of their children. No one can bless you any more than a parent. No one can burn you any more than a parent, either. A friend of mine wrote that parenting is not as we imagine it, like precision speed skating. No, instead, it's more like a giraffe on ice skates. Clumsy. Let's explore how you can have more grace for yourself while at the same time take a much-needed inventory of what keeps you from being the parent your child needs.
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Therapist
Parenting counseling, also known as parenting therapy or parent coaching, is a specialized form of counseling designed to support parents in developing effective parenting skills, improving family dynamics, and addressing challenges related to raising children. Parenting can be rewarding but also comes with its own set of stressors and complexities. Parenting counseling provides guidance, strategies, and a safe space for parents to discuss their concerns and learn how to create a nurturing and healthy environment for their children.
Parenting can be exciting but also presents challenges. I help parents understand the developmental process of their child/children. I help parents learn how to use discipline and consistency with acting out behaviors. I help parents learn how to navigate through parenting as a team and provide them with tools for different situations. I provide support and empathy to parents during challenging times.
