They didn't come with instruction manuals, so let's work together to explore and implement different ways of parenting in order to prepare them for a life a success - and hopefully reduce the stress until they get there.
My passion is helping people have GREAT relationships - parent/child relationships, extended family relationships, and especially great intimate relationships. My focus is on helping people connect with the people who matter most to them, and to learn how to connect in the ways that matter most.
Are you frustrated in your current relationship? Do you and your partner seem to have the same arguments over and over again? Has your partner told you things are not going well?
Pay attention! Don't dismiss their complaints! Kathleen can help you minimize the negativity and find solutions.
Motherhood exists in many forms: whether you are married, partnered, single, or newly divorced, it is not uncommon to reach a point where you need guidance or a safe space to discuss parenting challenges. Knowing how best to help or support your child can feel like a guessing game. You may struggle to understand how to deal with your own emotions in response to the increased needs or behavioral challenges of your child.
