Family Counseling & Mediation
Are you experiencing family conflict?
Communication has been a struggle in your family. As your child grows and develops, it seems as though you don’t recognize them anymore and your interactions leave you feeling triggered and sometimes helpless. You may be a single parent or you may may be co-parenting with someone who you feel is on the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to parenting. You are at a loss and are afraid your relationship with your child and your co-parent is slowly disintegrating.
You need support and I’m here to help
You’re beginning to question your decisions as a parent, wondering, “What am I doing wrong?” “Why can’t I get through to my child?” or even “I feel like I’m all alone with no support, even though there are two parents here.”
I help caregivers and their children build the resilience needed to get through each phase of development and especially through the transition to teenage years. Together, we will strengthen the parent child relationship through improving communication and understanding and also helping to clarify parenting styles and potential parenting triggers. Children will gain empathy for their parents while also understanding underlying expectations. We put it all on the table and grapple with it together!
How we will partner
I have over 15 years of professional experience working with caregivers and children around behavior and family dynamics and have been trained in several parenting and family treatment models as well as in co-parenting mediation. I specialize in working with parents through and post divorce and separation and also have the person experience to know just how difficult these life events can be, especially when children are involved. In session, I will help you build effective strategies for parenting and co-parenting that are child-centered and focused on strengthening your relationship with your child and lessening conflict all around. I will help you develop a more collaborative approach to co-parenting so that both the child and the parents experience more peace and less tension. My ultimate goal is to ensure that you have the tools to nurture your child’s growth and the parent-child relationship.
