Parenting can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also bring up feelings of overwhelm, frustration, self-doubt, and uncertainty. Sometimes it's hard to know how to respond when your child is struggling, emotions are running high, or the same challenges keep coming up.
As a therapist and former school counselor, I help parents better understand their children's emotional needs while also recognizing their own patterns and triggers. My goal is to help you feel more confident, connected, and intentional in the way you show up for your child.
Parent coaching can help you:
Better understand your child's emotional and developmental needs.
Navigate challenging behaviors and emotional outbursts.
Strengthen communication and connection.
Respond to big emotions without escalating conflict.
Develop consistent boundaries while maintaining connection.
Navigate school challenges, friendships, and family transitions.
Recognize your own triggers and practice emotional regulation.
Together, we'll explore what's happening beneath the surface of challenging interactions and develop strategies that work for your family.
I draw on emotional regulation frameworks, attachment-informed approaches, and practical communication tools to help parents respond with greater awareness and confidence.
We'll focus on understanding your child's perspective while also making space for your own experience as a parent. You don't have to be a perfect parent to build a meaningful, secure relationship with your child.
Parent coaching can be offered alongside your child's therapy or as a standalone service. Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or simply wanting to feel more confident in your parenting, I'd love to help you find an approach that feels right for your family.

Three Ways to Support Your Child Through Big Emotions:
Before jumping into problem-solving, ask your child what kind of support they need
1) Hug
Does your child need comfort and connection?
2) Help
Are they looking for advice or help solving a problem?
3) Heard
Do they simply need someone to listen?
