Parenting with Connection

I help parents and step-parents build strong patterns of connection with their children of all ages through one on one parent and step-parent coaching, parenting support, and group family coaching.

It's likely that you, like most parents I work with, wish for your child to be healthy and happy, have good friends, succeed in school, and contribute to their communities in positive ways. Learning to build and sustain a healthy connection with your child allows you to facilitate this growth and success and have more joy as a parent. I look forward to helping you do this!

I can help you if:

the connection you have had with your child feels interrupted
you continue to have the same struggles over and over with your child (homework, bedtime, screen time, chores)
the joy you hoped for in parenting just isn't there right now
you are exhausted, stressed out, and worried about your child's future and the impact of their behavioral challenges on the entire family
you have read all the "right" books, Googled late into the night, and asked friends and experts for advice with no change
Your other relationships are becoming impacted negatively by your parenting troubles
You feel hopeless and held hostage by your child's challenges

I can help you develop your own unique style of parenting grounded in what works, identify the needs that underlie your child's behavior, and understand and appreciate the normal developmental patterns of childhood and adolescence. The goal is to restore your family harmony and strengthen your child's:

self-control and emotional regulation
honest and effective communication
intrinsic motivation
optimism
sense of purpose

healthy relationship skills
family connectedness
empathy and perspective taking
moral reasoning and responsibility
social relationships
overall wellbeing
