Developing healthy, happy, and safe bonds between parents/caregivers and their children is a passion of mine. In my love for helping and supporting children and teenagers, I’ve developed a love for helping parents who serve them, too. I know the deep pain that occurs when kids and parents feel disconnected from each other – feeling lost, misunderstood, stuck, and unsure on both sides. Parenting sessions are just for you, parents: it’s for seeking support, guidance, education, and skill-building to then assist your child(ren) in specific, actionable ways that empower your confidence as a parent and cultivate that joyful connection in your parent-child relationship.

 

I approach relationship problem-solving and healing through the lens of Attachment Theory as well as strengths-based, positive parenting. Attachment is the sense of belonging and safety we have with someone, and if we have a history of negative or injured attachments (poor relationships, abuse, neglect, or other relationship injuries and disruptions), it can impact how you relate and engage with individuals surrounding you. We as human beings are social creatures, and our social wellness is closely, deeply linked to our individual wellness. Through this lens, your relationship and bond are my focus, and I work to assist you in identifying unhelpful and reoccurring patterns that leave your relationship feeling stuck, hurt, and distanced. In our work we will identify your needs and explore ways of connecting that meet your needs and promote reconnection within your relationship with your child.

 

Some benefits of parenting consultations may include: enhancing your parenting skills, gaining clarity and learning ways to support your child's specific concerns, gaining resources and referrals for community support, and receiving support as you navigate your own anxieties and concerns. ​
