parents
Are you having a hard time connecting with your child or teenager? Are they having outbursts that seem outside of the norm? Every stage of parenting has its profoundly special moments... and challenges. When the bad moments outnumber the good, we're here to help.
We will support you and your child to gain insight into the root causes contributing to your difficulties and to guide you in taking real steps to improve your day to day life.

As the mother of two young children, I know firsthand how hard it can be when it feels like your child is struggling. I feel honored to walk the path of healing with you and your family.

Parenting Support
While I love working directly with children, I believe that the best way to enact change in a child’s life is to work with their caregivers. I spend one hour per week with a child, while children are in their parents’ care for the other 167 hours of the week--yes, I did the math. Parents often struggle with finding the most effective type of discipline for their unique child or with not knowing how to react in a crisis situation. I have done in-home therapy and worked on crisis intervention teams for several years. I have experienced firsthand many stressful and dangerous situations with children and teenagers. I can help give you tools and support you to brainstorm ways to effectively de-escalate crisis situations in your home or manage other challenging situations.

Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions
SPACE treatment is a parent-based treatment program with the aim of reducing your child or teen's anxiety and improving their functioning in their day to day life. This type of therapy can be a great fit in conjunction with your child's individual therapy or as a stand-alone treatment when your child does not want to attend individual therapy.
Do you know what you are?
You are a manuscript oƒ a divine letter.
You are a mirror reflecting a noble face.
This universe is not outside of you.
Look inside yourself;
everything that you want,
you are already that.
