Parenting is deeply rewarding, but it can also bring frustration, exhaustion, and self-doubt. I help parents navigate behavior challenges, communication struggles, emotional overload, and identity shifts that come with raising children. Together, we’ll explore what’s not working, build practical parenting strategies, and strengthen your confidence at home. Whether you’re navigating toddlerhood, teens, or transitions, I offer support that helps you feel capable, calm, and more connected with your child.

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.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anytime we work with a child, we want to work with the parent, not because the parent might be doing something wrong, but because as a parent you have the single greatest influence in your child's life. Anything that goes from me to your child just is not nearly as effective as anything that goes from you to your child. So we partner with the parents and the child and utilize a collaborative plan.
