Therapeutic Parenting

Are you tired or frustrated from trying to understand your kid's anxiety, explosive behaviors, school refusal, self-harm or suicidal ideation? Do you argue regularly about homework, personal hygiene, or chores? 

I get it!  These are just some of the challenges facing the families I work with. If you're curious about how to respond therapeutically, get out of the argument cycle, and have a more collaborative daily experience, you can learn more about my work below.

What to expect when working with me:
We will begin with 7-9 weekly or bi-weekly sessions, then assess how things are progressing toward your immediate and long term goals to help us decide if it's time to move toward monthly maintenance sessions. Co-living adults  are  encouraged to join these sessions in order to bypass the labor on one adult  to teach the other. but it is not a requirement.

I won't tell you to be more consistent in your discipline or bedtime routines, or to be tough to make them push through. Most families have already tried all these things and more. and discovered there is no star chart, reward, or punishment that will change their child's ability to do better. Plus, these systems are impossible to sustain over time for most busy and overwhelmed families. 

I will help you look at challenges in a new way, and learn how and why to do things differently. Together we will explore your goals, identify the underlying support needs driving challenges, build emotional regulation, and help you and your family experience more relational ease and engagement.

While all young people's brains and bodies are still growing, some need specific help from their adults in order for their life to be more manageable.

Learn how relational neuroscience and supporting developmental needs can help you have more ease in your relationships and everyday life at home.
