Parenting is the most profound journey, but it’s also the one that can bring up our own “stuff” and expose our deepest vulnerabilities. If you’re a parent or stepparent, or part of a couple or stepcouple, and you find yourself struggling with difficult moments, know this: you are not doing it wrong.

The truth is, all of us have a core self that is whole and worthy, and so do our children. I believe that the most powerful parenting tool you have is your own self-awareness. So often, a child’s behavior or a partner’s comment can activate our deepest emotional triggers—those raw, familiar reactions rooted in our own past.

In our work together, we go to the source. Using evidence-based approaches like Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), EMDR, and Emotionally-Focused Couples and Family Therapy, we explore where these reactions come from. We work to heal the echoes of past experiences and foster a more compassionate inner world, so you can respond from a place of calm presence, not reactivity. This isn’t about being a perfect parent; it’s about becoming a more attuned, present, and compassionate one.

My goal is to help you process past hurts, gain comfort in the messy uncertainty of family life, and build a relationship with your child where everyone feels seen, heard, and validated. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.

If you’re ready to explore how healing your own story can profoundly transform your family life, I’d be honored to walk this journey with you. I invite you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consult to see if we’re a good fit.
