Parenting

As a parent of 3 children I am a forever learning to navigate the joys of parenthood. I have a passion for equipping parents using strategies and techniques such as Love and Logic. While teaching parents skills and tools to add to their parenting toolbox, I often find myself learning from their examples and experience. It takes a village to raise our children. Let's work together to help you find the confidence and support you need to raise confident, successful children.

I have many years of experience working with parents/caregivers of children with unique health and developmental challenges.

With a background working in child welfare and schools, I bring a breadth of knowledge to assist parents struggling with aspects of parenting .

A decade of experience supporting new, effective parenting techniques, increased family structure, helpful boundaries, positive reinforcement techniques, and developing and maintaining a consistent, emotionally-secure attachment between children and caregivers/parents. I especially enjoy working with families going through transitions, and supporting you to find a new structure to fit your new and changing needs - including separation/divorce, blended family needs, etc.

It was my passion in learning about how children develop that led me to the field of psychology. Prior to becoming a therapist, I received my bachelor's degree in Child Development and Adolescent studies. This has helped me support children and parents alike with my foundational knowledge of understanding children and how the family influences a child’s development. I also teach and guide parents in building attachment, to help build trust between them and their child.

With my experience as a school-based counselor, I have a unique vantage point in supporting parents during the transition their kids make into adolescence. I often hear, "I just don't recognize my child anymore." I can work with parents to better understand adolescent behavior and how to reconnect with your child during these years. I may also offer parenting support groups for parents to meet others who may be experiencing similar struggles.

I love helping parents learn how to play and interact with their children. I specialize in working with children under 10 who have behavioral issues. I have almost a decade of experience working with children who have experienced abuse. I was a foster parent and I understand the difficulties that come with creating a family in a non-traditional way. I have been trained in Circle of Security, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, and Triple P parenting.

In short, I seek to help you understand your teenager and their behavior better. As you may remember, adolescence can be a tumultuous stage of life. What the research has helped us understand more now than ever, is how the adolescent brain is also particularly vulnerable to life’s stressors. During parent coaching sessions we will discuss relevant child development and behavioral concerns, your child’s overall progress, and strategies you can implement at home in order to support their progress.

In my practice, I offer parent consultations to guardians who want more support on their parenting journey. I offer parent consultation two separate ways - -Parent consultation is included in my work with children ages 6 to 12 years old. -Parents/guardians can see me individually for parent consultation as the main focus of treatment.

I have worked with many clients experiencing parenting challenges, especially with teenagers moving through individuation. As a parent myself, I bring a lot of clinical and personal experience to the table.

As a parent of 3 children I am a forever learning to navigate the joys of parenthood. I have a passion for equipping parents using strategies such as Love and Logic. While teaching parents skills and tools to add to their parenting toolbox, I often find myself learning from their examples and experience.

I have accompanied dozens of births and hundreds of families as a birth doula, always seeking to be updated and informed. I have trained with wise Mexican women in the art of rebozo, and I have learned from the families that each birth is an opportunity for growth for the whole family. I have experience in planned home birth, bvac, pregnancy loss, migrant mothers, etc.

I have years of experience working with young children and families. This includes working with parents to identify and uncover their own painful childhood experiences that are informing their parenting. I am open to parent-child sessions as well as parent coaching. I received training with parent-child interaction therapy, beyond behaviors, and mindfulness self-compassion for parents.

Parenting is an epic challenge no one could have prepared for. There are so many pressures as a parent to provide emotionally, financially, and logistically for your children. Coming from an Interpersonal Neurobiology lens, I utilize an attachment approach to help you gain insight and move forward from your particular parenting challenges. I also specialize in supporting parents who have children with mental health and chronic physical health conditions, including allergies.

I love helping parents learn how to play and interact with their children in developmentally appropriate ways. I have almost a decade of experience working with children who have experienced trauma. Using play and a brain-based approach, I help families increase their bonding and attachment. I teach parents effective parenting strategies and skills, and I teach children behavioral management skills. I have training in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, Triple P Parenting, and Circle of Security.

As a Therapist, Certified Master Jungian Life Coach, and a Certified Trauma-Informed Breathwork Facilitator, I work with parents to release old patterns, overwhelm, guilt, anger, & fear of not parenting correctly. Grow beyond your parental identity, and step into a new vision of parenthood that feels aligned with your unique energy and gifts. Move into self-love, forgiveness, and confidence, as you shine and radiate your inner light - knowing deep within that you are an amazing parent!

Parenting can be both the most frustrating experience and the most rewarding experience. It is also often one of the biggest obstacles in marraige. Many happy marriages hit roadblocks when parenting enters the dynamic. I am skilled at helping you navigate these issues to make your home a more peaceful and rewarding place to be.
