Therapeutic Support for Parents

You’ve been struggling as a parent, and it’s become clear that you’d like help. Your child’s feelings and behaviors seem out of proportion to whatever is happening. Both you and your child are upset. Or perhaps something traumatic has happened, the reactions seem appropriate – and you still don’t know how to help. In either case, watching your child go through big emotions, for example, anger, aggression, loneliness, or anxiety, is painful, perhaps overwhelming.

You and I can work together without your child present to address the challenges you face. Sometimes developmental guidance clarifies the situation. Other times, deeper work is needed to develop your capacity to respond to your child’s behavior with understanding, confidence and trust in yourself. When trauma has affected you, your child or both, whether from medical interventions, accidents, or subtle or obvious trauma, I support you in addressing your needs as well as your child’s. That way, you develop a strong and flexible foundation from which you can respond to your child with love, care and connection, no matter the situation.

(I use the term “Parent” to refer to any primary caregiver.)

You can become the connected, caring parent you long to be.
