Description

Our busy lifestyles present challenges to being fully available for our children’s emotional needs. To add to the challenge is the fact that many of us were parented in ways that did not support our own emotional regulation! Young people need parents who can guide them effectively to navigate the inevitable ups and downs that life presents.

I work with parents to help them understand how to effectively and empathically respond to their child’s needs. Therapy provides a unique opportunity for parents to take the time to reflect on the kind of parent they would like to be and how to get there.
