Helping Parents Connect With Their Kids

Welcome!

I provide a trusted and inviting place to help overwhelmed parents begin to excavate and understand their child’s challenging emotions and behaviors, offering compassion filled psychoeducation skills coaching, while developing a collaborative, solution focused, and practical roadmap to meet your family’s individualized needs.

Does this resonate with you?

  • Your child having bellyaches, headaches, or frequently complaining of fatigue.

  • Your adolescent has started cutting, you caught them vaping, or maybe their bedroom has become their dark private dungeon—where you are forbidden.

  • Your child is a perfectionist and a people pleaser, running themselves into the ground.

  • You are having trouble connecting and communicating with your adolescent, and your heart is exploding into a million shards of glass.

  • Your child helps everyone first, leaving nothing for themselves and you’d like them to learn boundaries.

  • Your adolescent doesn’t feel like they fit in anywhere, feel like they don’t belong, or will never be good enough.

  • Their grades are dropping or they are refusing to go to school, and anytime you offer a suggestion, the conversation becomes loaded and heated.

  • You’ve had concerns since they were little and have voiced these to their pediatric providers or educators over the years time and time again but no one could ever quite pinpoint the cause.

  • You love your child more than anything and deeply want to find them and your family system the support deserved.

Now, imagine what it would feel like if you knew you didn’t have to do this alone—that someone could offer a nonjudgmental space to explore your concerns, fears, and perhaps even begin to repair some past ruptures with you. What would it be like, if someone could coach your child while having complete confidence that initiative to develop a longer term plan was being taken—and that both you and your child has a sense of agency in the process?
