Strides in Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PSY.D.
here are many different ways to be an effective and nurturing parent. People’s parenting styles may vary based on culture, race, religion, socioeconomic status, geographic location as well as due to both the parents’ and the children’s personalities. Some people tend to be more authoritarian, setting rules and expecting them to be followed because you are the parent. Other parents are more permissive, wanting their children to have their needs met and to feel heard and understood. Still others try to find some middle ground. They may switch positions depending on the specifics of the situation or they may negotiate a compromise. Sometimes one parenting style works really effectively with one child but not at all with another. Other times, a way of handling a situation may work fine for your child at one age but not at all once they get a bit older, so a shift in approach is needed. We all tend to use our own upbringing as a model for how we parent, or in some cases, for what we most want to avoid in raising our children. Often, this strategy works fine. When it does not, therapy can be a useful tool in offering you alternative strategies and techniques that might help.

My passion is to help people realize what is possible, what they are capable of, and finding their best self. Parenting in today's world is a balancing act between self care and caring for others. Leading your children through life in today's highly volatile world can be scary. I have been there and live it everyday.

I will walk with you and support you in your journey. I will meet you where you are and together we will collaborate in your personal growth through self discovery, self acknowledgement and self care. We will discover patterns within communiction styles, and looking at past and present experiences to see how they are impacting how you are relating to your child and even your parenting partner. I use a strength based approach, combining it with CBT, mindfulness and somatic approaches. I will support you, providing a safe place to process emotions so you get to the root cause of what is keeping you from feeling fully effective in your parenting.
