Counselor/Therapist, Registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor
Parenting comes with its own set of challenges, and I’m here to help you navigate them. I offer guidance and support to parents seeking to improve their parenting skills, address behavioral issues, and foster positive relationships with their children. Whether you’re a new parent or facing challenges with older children, I’m here to help you build a more harmonious and supportive family environment.
I specialize in "mindful parenting" with tools and techniques to practice patience, understanding, empathy and compassion first for how we as parents get triggered and react from what we know from our own upbringing. With that awareness we can begin to choose our reactions, see the change and even develop new healthy family habits of mindful communication.
I have worked as a parent educator and I am trained in Triple P Positive Parenting. I have also worked with parents throughout the life span in addressing challenges of parenting children of all ages.
In individual or couples sessions, I support parents in various ways including but not limited to: processing the stress of daily life with children, building skills for emotional regulation to model and teach to children, strengthening the relationship between parents, and understanding child development.
Sometimes mothers need a soft place to land to vent their frustrations while still holding their love for their child. I am rostered with UCSF Benioff as a Child-Parent Psychotherapist and I can support you in what may come up for you around your parenting role in your individual session with me. Motherhood/Caregiving is difficult and sometimes we just need a safe space to discuss what is going on for us.
