Parenting

Do you find yourself being frustrated, irritated, or angered by your child’s behavior? Do you sometimes catch yourself wishing you were a better parent or thinking, “I sound just like my mother?” Parenting can give us enormous rewards and also deeply challenge our limits. It can bring up experiences from your own upbringing that you thought you had left behind. I help parents address the stresses that come with parenting so they can focus on enjoying their relationship with their child. Together we can explore what would help you raise a child who is happy and resilient.

I work with parents in different stages of the parenting journey, from considering starting a family, to dealing with challenges as their children grow, to adjusting to a child leaving home. I also help parents work on issues that arise in their relationships with their adult children.
