Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor
Parenting can be the most difficult and demanding job you will ever undergo. Parenting is also the most rewarding when done well. I work with many parents and their children overcome trials and difficult life stages. I work with the children and the parents throughout treatment to offer help on both side.
As a psychologist specializing in parenting issues, my approach is founded on collaboration, empathy, and evidence-based interventions. Through a combination of parent education, coaching, and family therapy, I support parents in navigating challenges and fostering healthy relationships with their children. By providing a safe space to explore parenting styles, communication patterns, and family dynamics, I help parents gain insight into their strengths and areas for growth. Together, we develop practical strategies to address behavior management, enhance parent-child interactions, and promote positive development. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care and stress management techniques to support parents in navigating the demands of parenthood effectively. My goal is to empower parents with the tools and confidence they need to cultivate nurturing and resilient family.
We can explore positive parenting strategies to navigate challenging behaviors, strengthen communication, and foster a more joyful and connected family dynamic.
You do not have to be a "perfect" parent; what about a "perfect enough" parent? Generally you do the best you can with what you know AND you also know you can learn more to be even better at parenting. You worry they will be "messed up" but there is one major thing research shows that can help us to raise emotionally healthy children: repair. Parents have said what I teach them is a game changer and has given them hope and focus so they don't feel overwhelmed with all the advice out there. I also help parents save money and time by teaching them to do therapeutic play interventions with their children. The relationship with you is lifelong and worth the investment. Generally, I work with parents of kids under 8 yo.
Teaching parents how to address various challenges they face with their children, looking at age appropriate behavior, restructuring the inter-relational dynamics in the family to allow for more intimacy and better communication.

None of our counselors are even close to being perfect parents, but we are passionate about walking alongside you in your parenting journey, whether you are parenting a toddler or you are an empty-nester parenting adult children. We utilize the principles and practical tools from the evidence-based parent training program, Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT). Extensive research indicates that parents who learn and apply the CPRT skills tend to have a significant reduction in their stress levels, and the training tends to result in their children exhibiting less problematic behaviors.
