I have written a number of articles on parenting, and this was a huge focus of my work at as a Supervisor/Clinical Supervisor at the Department of Children and Family Services for Los Angeles County. Parenting is simply a non-stop series of teaching moments. When parents create an environment where a child feels safe, feels loved, and is provided with structure and stability, a child will thrive. The work here is focus on providing parents with knowledge, tools, and skills to create this environment.  

Let me help you become the best parent you can be, enabling you to be in charge and have a wonderful relationship with your children.
