Parenting

I have been teaching parenting classes for over 20 years. I regularly speak to school PTAs/PTOs, church MOPs and mothers groups on a wide variety of parenting topics. I hosted a parenting podcast for 2 years (Passport to Parenting). I help parents and divorced co-parents support their children to live exceptional lives.

As a certified parenting coach and twin mom, I use a variety of skills and evidence-based tools to help you navigate parenting in an incredibly complicated world.

I am a parent myself, and know how rewarding and challenging the life of a parent can be. I integrate my own experience as a parent, and my experience as a school counselor and therapist for children and teens to help parents better understand their kid's behavior and to communicate with them effectively. I have helped many parents work through their own childhood wounds affecting how they parent (and feel about being a parent!), learn effective communication skills, and find joy in parenting.

Parenting is the hardest job there is and we could all use a little support. I provide parent coaching alone and as part of required treatment for parents of minor clients I see. I also work as a coparenting counselor to help parents navigate coparenting during and after divorce.

You want what's best for your kids. You can’t provide a child a life where they will never be dysregulated, so how does one respond when they’re upset and/or overwhelmed? Together we will create a framework that will help you provide the unique support that works for you and your kiddo.

In my experience working directly with children, I have accumulated a depth of knowledge about parenting and how caregivers are both impacted by and able to impact the children in their care.

I have training and certification in several attachment based, parent- child relational therapies including PCIT (Parent Child Interaction Therapy) and CPP (Child Parent Psychotherapy), as well as training in maternal mental health through Postpartum Support International. I draw from these therapies when treating parents with parenting concerns. My goal is for you to feel confident as a parent, and for you to have a strong relationship with your child.

Parenting is the hardest job in the world. It can feel particularly challenging when trying to be the best parent possible while balancing all of your other responsibilities. In therapy, you’ll have personal support to guide you and learn tools to help you feel better. You will learn coping skills to help reduce feelings of stress, anxiety, sadness, or being overwhelmed. This type of support is catered to your needs so that you can be your best self. Therapy will be your space for YOU.

Parenting is the hardest role that we can never adequately prepare for. I've spent the last 7 years working with parents/families to help them understand how they got to where they are so they can build the skills to venture down a better path. I teach from an attachment/peaceful parenting perspective as I feel that much of "mainstream" parenting leads to disconnect, emotional dysfunction and covert violence. We tend to repeat what we know until we know better.

I specialize in helping clients with empty nest syndrome. It seems like just yesterday your kids were little babies in your arms - and now, just like that, they moved out. Regardless of whether they left for college, are now with another parent or left for another reason, it can be tough. Your child leaving home can be a hard chapter to navigate, but the good news is that on the other side of all of this you can find a new sense of identity, perhaps one which is even stronger and more vibrant.

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 am a certified Parent Child Interaction Therapist (PCIT).

The only you are taught to parent is the way you have been parented. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like you’re doing a good enough job. I worked for over two years doing Intensive In-Home Therapy, partnering with parents and families to cope with behaviors from trauma, depression, and anxiety and helped improve the overall climate in houses. I know you can parent intentionally, compassionately, and courageously breaking the cycle that has been passed down.

I work with moms breaking cycles and parenting differently while carrying their own childhood wounds. It’s hard when triggers feel louder than your intentions. I help you unpack those moments, process the "why" behind reactions, and build tools that feel good for you—so you can parent with more patience, confidence, and compassion, even when it’s hard. Together, we work toward parenting from a grounded place, not survival mode.

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 am most passionate about working with parents, those involved in the child welfare system, and youth who have experienced trauma.

I worked with a multitude of parents in the public school setting for 8 years as a School Social Worker and Behavior Interventionist.
