What I Offer

I offer structured coaching to parents who are struggling with a challenge in their family. Through active listening and an empathic relationship, we will examine the current family system with an eye on how the relationships within it are currently functioning, the development of parenting beliefs and practices and we will create plans to make concrete improvements. Those improvements may include communication, structural and behavioral changes with the goals of increasing individual satisfaction and autonomy while developing or maintaining healthy relationships within the family.

Based on my experience, I believe many problems that children face can be solved, in large part, while working with their parents.  Changes in how a parent interacts with their child can often lead to dramatic changes in child behavior and attitude. With that in mind, I usually prefer to work with parents in my practice.  In some cases, if appropriate, I will work directly with children and teens, alone or together with their parents.
