Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
I love working with parents to manage their stress about being a parent, whether parenting small children and teens or improving relationships with emerging adult and fully grown adult children. Being a parent is a challenge for most of us, particularly those managing multiple life roles (such as paid work, home management, schooling, and other relationships). I am not an expert in WHAT you should do to parent your children well; I am an expert in helping you figure out HOW you want to be as a parent and empower you to seek additional support and resources that might help you achieve your goals. I can help you clear the fog to determine your inner compass for what matters to you most, and hopefully you will find ways to find balance, show up with your children in ways that are important to you, and be the best you you can be as you parent. If you need higher intensity resources for parent-child interactions or higher level skills for managing your child's very difficult behavior, I can help you figure out how and where you might succeed in bringing those specialty services to help your family.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Raising kids might be one of the most difficult assignments in the world. They don't come with instructions and most of the time, we as parents don't have the tools needed for the job anyway. Each stage of development also brings the need to change strategies. The good news is that there is hope. Healthy parenting skills can be learned and applied. It won't make parenting easy, but it will help make it effective. They grow up fast. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy them while you can.
