Parents want what is best for their children, but it is sometimes difficult to know how to handle the challenges of child-rearing. I help guide parents, teaching them strategies and providing support in a variety of domains, including:

  • Increasing cooperation and a positive atmosphere in the home
  • Collaborative problem-solving
  • Bedtime and meal time routines
  • Developing house rules
  • Positive reinforcement
  • Reducing tantrums and other unwanted behaviors
  • Active listening and communication
  • Managing parent-teen conflict
  • Academic struggles

My goal is to help parents to live more hopeful, positive lives together with their children. I will make sure that you are heard and understood, then provide you with strategies and support for dealing with your unique challenges. I always encourage and ask for complete and transparent feedback about whether what we are doing helps, what is working, and what doesn’t work.

If you are thinking about counseling or coaching on parenting issues, please contact me. I have more than 30 years of direct service experience delivering concrete, science-based solutions to parents facing a wide variety of life challenges, and I want to help you.
