Parenting can be challenging—even on the best of days. Many parents I work with are deeply committed to doing their best, yet still feel like they’re falling short. Even the most devoted parents can feel overwhelmed, unsure, or disconnected at times. In parent counseling, we work together to explore your emotions, clarify your expectations, and better understand your child’s needs. Whether you’re navigating a specific issue or just trying to understand your child better, I can provide support, tools, and perspective.

I often find that parents struggle most when their child’s behavior seems to conflict with their core values. In those moments, it’s common for parents to feel like they’ve failed to model those values effectively. By encouraging self-compassion, I help parents view the situation more holistically—recognizing that one moment or behavior doesn’t define their entire parenting journey.

It’s completely normal for parents to enjoy certain ages or stages of their child’s development more than others. It’s also common to feel triggered when your child is either too much like you—or not like you. In parent counseling, we explore these reactions with curiosity and compassion, helping you better understand your emotional responses and develop more ease and connection in your relationship with your child.
