I help parents like you gain a deeper understanding of your own emotions and behaviors, leading to improved relationships with your children. In our work together, you can develop effective communication skills with your children, set appropriate boundaries, and manage challenging behaviors.
Motherhood exists in many forms: whether you are married, partnered, single, or newly divorced, it is not uncommon to reach a point where you need guidance or a safe space to discuss parenting challenges. Knowing how best to help or support your child can feel like a guessing game. You may struggle to understand how to deal with your own emotions in response to the increased needs or behavioral challenges of your child.

Parenting can be soooo challenging, especially in this day and age as couples are often both working full-time while trying to raise socially conscious, kind, children in a thriving environment. Also, throw in the step-parenting element very common nowadays and it's gets even more challenging. I am a parent of two now almost grown children and also a stepmom to two grown children, so I understand from a personal level the intricacies of blended families after divorce or the death of a spouse.
If you need help with parenting, I have years of experience helping parents and families communicate, create rules and structure, and find the best solutions for their ongoing issues with children, adolescents, and teens.
parenting is a hard task. Parenting can feel overwhelming and can come with a lot of emotions. I offer individual help with parenting and I also have a DBT parents support group.
I'm dedicated to guiding parents in nurturing happy, healthy, and resilient children, offering practical insights and strategies to navigate challenges, build confidence, strengthen family bonds, and create a nurturing environment.
