Parent guidance offers a supportive place where you will not feel alone in dealing with the challenges of parenting your child or adolescent. I take a comprehensive approach to helping you develop a personal parenting style that fosters a close and joyful bond with your child. Together we will work towards growing a better understanding of your child’s emotional life and the specific needs and expectations for their developmental stage in life.

You will be guided to communicating more effectively, and taught practical tools for managing a range of challenging issues – from sibling rivalry to diffusing aggressive behavior. These skills can also be effective with children or adolescents who struggle with anxiety, depression, social problems, and learning issues.

We may also use psycho-education to explore how your personal history is expressed in your parenting style, and create strategies to avoid repeating negative reactions and respond more consistently. As you learn to manage the triggers your child or teen elicits, you will feel more competent and confident in your parenting abilities.
