It is a noisy world, and you have tried everything you can think of. Reached out to well-meaning family and friends who don’t have the scientific research on neurology and child development, but feel judgy and preachy. Read books, articles and maybe even attended parenting seminars with tidbits of helpful information, but they aren’t customized to your child or how you want to parent. Every time your child has a major meltdown or tantrum, you may be thinking, “I’m failing at this parenting thing.” You’re exhausted, stressed, and trying really, really hard.

Work smarter, not harder. We have finite resources of time and energy. Kids and families require massive amounts of both. I’m here because I don’t want people to want to do better, or know to do better but to actually DO better. I’m also constantly striving to DO better, and will tell you what I learned is it isn’t about being a perfect parent. It’s about being available, reflective and aware so you may make adjustments along the way to best serve your child’s unique needs. You don’t have to be bound by the previous generation’s teachings or experiences. If you have had some adversity in your life, you are able to heal your child only after you heal your own inner wounded child. Stop with the parenting experts. Uncover your innate parenting powers to be the expert on YOUR little one.

To answer the question, “How do I not screw up my kids?”

Parents forget about their own needs and desires, often thinking that if their child starts acting better, the marriage will get better and they will feel better too. No, just no. It’s not true. Yes, a more regulated child may make things feel easier, the light then shines on disconnection in the parenting partnership. Or even, disconnection with themselves. You may feel like “This is so much harder than I expected,” and “I don’t even know who I am anymore,” or “I don’t even know who my spouse is anymore.” This is why I am so passionate about empowering parents to create the family culture they want to come home to. Where they feel truly seen and heard, accepted for who they are no matter how much they do or don’t get done in a day. Major truth bomb coming here – If your child is having a hard time, it is often a reflection of you and/your spouse having a hard time. A more regulated, confident and secure you, a more regulated, confident and secure child. After all, how you experience your child is how your child experiences themselves.

You are here. You are reading. You are reaching out. You are resourceful. Are you willing to take the steps to make lasting change where you think straight, make decisions you’re proud of, and enjoy coming home again? The feedback I consistently get is how people wish they started therapy sooner. Change is hard, and you don’t have to go at this alone!
