When people have kids together, they don't understand as fully as is needed that they will have different parenting styles and these styles will show up in conflicts in how to raise their kids. In our work, we work on using Positive Parenting approaches and each parent knowing their limits when their kids push their buttons.

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.
