Parenting Support

As parents, we sometimes find ourselves asking, "What's wrong with me?" and "What's wrong with my kid?" My biggest truth, and the core of my work, is that there is nothing wrong with you or your child. And, at the same time, there are practical ways to make life as a family a lot easier.

If you're confused, overwhelmed, angry, or exhausted, I am here to help! Together we can uncover the foundations of family struggles without blame, shame, or judgment (toward you or your kids!); then build some new, helpful approaches and practices that support a healthy, constructive family life.

Expect a meeting to:

• investigate underlying issues rather than focus on controlling symptoms,
• support you to develop the big 3 parenting superpowers--connection, leadership, and clarity--in your own way,
• make sense of your child's developmental stage and personality, your own personality and conditioning, and how they work together.
• help you let go of the myth of perfect parenting and embrace mistakes.
