Empowering Parents, Strengthen Families, Creating Connection
There is an abundance of information telling us how we should parent. This information is not always accurate or right for your family. I help parents tune out the noise of what they think they should be doing and tune into the needs of their family. Doing this results in more confidence in your own parenting, an increased understanding of your child, fewer power struggles and stronger relationships.
Parent Coaching is a tailored approach to addressing your biggest parenting concerns. In a nonjudgmental way I will work with you to understand the issue, develop strategies to address it and make daily parenting a little less challenging allowing you to enjoy your time with your children more.
Rather than hunting for the right answer online or in a parenting book that you don’t have time to read, I will take into consideration your family dynamics, your needs, the needs of your child and help you come up with strategies that fit with your daily life and are not impossible to implement or follow through on.
Our work together is collaborative, grounded, and paced intentionally, creating space for deeper awareness, greater regulation, and more secure ways of relating.
For more than 15 years I have been working with children and families. I support parents by building on their strengths and empowering them with knowledge about child development and the tools to address common child behaviors. I promote stronger parent-child relationships by helping parents understand their children better, improve their connections and navigate developmental stages. In addition to one-on-one coaching I speak to groups on a range of topics including child development, discipline, and social emotional intelligence. I earned my Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University School of Social Work and my Bachelor of Arts from Boston College. A native of California, I currently reside outside of Washington, DC, in Maryland with my husband and children.
