Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we understand that parenting can be both rewarding and challenging, often bringing to the surface unresolved fears and emotional patterns from our own upbringing. Our approach to parenting focuses on helping individuals and couples identify the essential fears that influence their parenting styles, such as fear of inadequacy, fear of losing control, or fear of repeating past mistakes. Using the Deconstructing Anxiety™ method, we guide parents to uncover their “chief defenses,” which may manifest as overprotection, criticism, or emotional distance. By encouraging parents to do the opposite of these defenses, we create a nurturing space for them to develop healthier parenting strategies, communicate effectively with their children, and foster emotional intelligence within their families. This transformative process not only strengthens parent-child relationships but also promotes a more harmonious family dynamic, allowing both parents and children to thrive.

Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Parent coaching is frequently a focus of the work I do. I support parents in shifting out of using anger and intimidation while at the same time maintaining healthy authority and responsibility with their kids. Often I assist in developing and implementing rewards based behavior management strategies, as well as in integrating positive parenting approaches. Reunification of parents with children when their has been some kind of disruption to their parenting relationship is an area in which I have considerable experience, as is helping divorced and divorcing couples effectively co-parent.

Dr. Lauren Jensen
Psychologist, Psy.D., PMH-C, EMDR Certified
It's often said that parenting is one of life's most rewarding, yet challenging experiences. But perhaps the most challenging part is that no matter how prepared you are, it's still hard. As parents, we often feel shame for not being "good enough" or not knowing how to handle the many difficulties our children present with. I offer a supportive space to help you manage the struggles you're having as a parent, to feel more connected to your child(ren), and to respond to yourself with more compassion.
