Is being a parent completely different from what you imagined?

Maybe you’re feeling guilty about how you responded to your child’s most recent meltdown, or perhaps something new has come up with your kid and you’re not sure how to handle it. You may be overwhelmed by parenting or simply struggling to figure out how to manage when your child’s behavior triggers big emotions in you. Perhaps you’re feeling alone and isolated in your parenting journey.

Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact of this in every facet of your life:

  • Constantly wondering if you’re doing this parenting thing “right”

  • Trying everything with your kids and nothing seems to work.

  • In spite of your best efforts you don’t always respond to your children in the way that makes you feel good.

 FAQs

  • We’ll start by defining some clear goals you have for how you’d like to show up as a parent. From there we’ll typically talk over tools and skills you can use to get yourself to that place. This might look like specific parenting skills based on gentle or attachment-based parenting. We might also look at tools you can use for yourself, so you can approach parenting challenges as your best self.

  • We might cover a variety of topics depending on you and your child’s needs. Here are some examples of areas I specialize in when it comes to parenting support:

    • How to manage challenging behaviors in children of all ages

    • How to manage your own feelings when triggered by your children

    • Parenting as a trauma survivor

    • How to balance the demands of being a parent with your own needs

    • Parenting anxious, highly-sensitive, gifted, ADHD or other neuro-diverse children

  • Some parents prefer to tackle a specific parenting goal and choose to meet more short term, typically 10-16 sessions. Some parents choose longer-term services to dig deeper into topics such as what parenting means to them, further explore the nature of their relationship with their children or resolve past adverse experiences that interfere with their ability to parent the way they would like.
