Coparenting

Whether you are married, partnered, live together, live with your children, or not, if you share a child with someone, coparenting is an issue. Those relationships can be challenging when you don't see eye-to-eye.

I work with couples who have children and need guidance on healthy co-parenting methods. I teach couples that have ended the relationship how to work together to keep the focus on the child(ren). I help these couples move on from any bitterness that might impact their ability to show a unified front as parents.

Parents in families that are multiracial and/or multicultural have additional stressors due to systematic oppression and discrimination. In addition, making decisions for the family can be more complicated when caretakers have different backgrounds and lived experiences. Raising a child in a multiracial and multicultural family involves ongoing conversations about what this means for your child, their identity, the way they will see the world, and the way the world will see them.

Leading a family looks like all kinds of things now which is so exciting. But it can also make navigating conflict, defining roles, and compromising difficult because old rules don’t apply. Defining these relationships can be tough - and incredibly rewarding because everyone is on board to prioritize their family. There's so much hope in complex, tough circumstances.
