John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, MACP LPCC LMFT
Parenting is every word you can imagine, but clients very rarely want to discuss how well their kids are doing. In working with children and being a parent, I know first hand the stressors and trials of parenting. My special sauce is teaching you how to communicate with your child so they listen, and teach you how to listen so you can communicate. Learn to recognize triggers and move through into the world soothed, secure and safe.

Parenting can be one of the most rewarding yet challenging roles in life. Whether you are navigating the ups and downs of raising young children, managing the complexities of teen years, or adjusting to your relationship with adult children, it is natural to feel overwhelmed or uncertain at times.
As an empathetic counselor, I offer a supportive space to help you develop effective communication skills, set healthy boundaries, and build stronger connections with your children at every stage of life. Together, we can explore strategies to manage stress, foster positive relationships, and nurture your family’s well-being.

Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Parenting can activate some of our deepest hopes—and our deepest triggers. I support parents who want to respond to their children with greater calm, connection, and confidence. Using attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and developmental models, we explore how your own early experiences may shape present parenting patterns.
Together, we work with the parts of you that feel overwhelmed, reactive, guilty, or unsure, while strengthening your capacity for steady, attuned leadership. The goal is not perfection, but secure attachment—helping your child feel safe, seen, and supported while you feel grounded and empowered.
