Parenting can be very difficult, time-consuming, and challenging, no matter who you are. Different people react differently to the responsibilities of parenting and sometimes, we all need a little help and support.
It is easy for a parent of any background to become overwhelmed and if you are feeling like speaking with a mental health professional might be helpful, seek help.

Parenting encompasses a profound journey of nurturing secure bonds and healing past wounds. Parenting becomes a delicate ballet of giving protection, warmth, and unconditional love because it is based on the concept that early attachment experiences create the foundation of emotional development. Trauma, whether inherited or experienced, can ripple through generations, influencing parenting styles and relational dynamics. Therapy offers a space for parents to explore their own attachment patterns and address unresolved traumas, fostering greater self-awareness and empathy. By cultivating secure attachments and nurturing emotional resilience in their children, parents can break the cycle of intergenerational trauma, paving the way for a future filled with love, connection, and healing.

Parenting cam often be so overwhelming that we end up just repeating what we saw and what was normalized in our family of origin. My passion is working with clients to break all multi generational cycles and patterns of dysfunction that they may have learned from family of origin. We unpack the "family-culture".... those unspoken ways of being that create strife in parenting. Guilt, shame, anger, poor communication, lack of follow through, teen age rebellion are all part of the work that we unpack in sessions about parenting.
