Parent Coaching

Parent coaching provides personalized guidance and support to parents navigating the complexities of raising children. Whether your child is in their "no" phase and pushing your limits to a breaking point, or your child is having big feelings in school, through coaching sessions, you can gain practical strategies and skills to enhance communication, manage behavior effectively, and foster a positive family environment. This process not only boosts your confidence in your abilities but also strengthens your relationship with your children.

Lasting change happens when parents are not only involved but actively facilitating and promoting change at home. Parent coaching can equip you with tools for problem-solving and decision-making, empowering you to address challenges proactively. Ultimately, parent coaching helps create a nurturing and supportive home environment where both parents and children can thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.

Therapy

If you are a parent looking for broader or deeper emotional support, individual therapy might be a more suitable route.

Becoming a parent can be one of life's most profound experiences, but it can also bring to the surface unresolved emotions and challenges from your own childhood. If you're seeking to become a better parent, therapy offers a supportive space to explore and heal from your own childhood experiences while learning how to nurture and guide your children more effectively.

By investing in your own emotional well-being, you not only heal yourself but also create a positive legacy for your children, ensuring they grow up in a home filled with understanding, resilience, and compassion.

Since my therapeutic work is based in attachment, I also work well with adults, parents or not, who might be experiencing difficulties in their romantic relationships. If you are having trouble with anxiety, trust, intimacy, or fear of abandonment, we can explore and aim to heal your early unresolved conflicts so that ultimately you can strengthen and foster stable, secure, and supportive relationships.

Whether you have children or not, as an adult navigating life in New York, you are constantly pushing back against the pressure to "make it." What that looks like may be different for everybody but everybody deserves to thrive and everybody is juggling a whole lot. Therapy provides an opportunity to understand how your past may shape your present (how you parent, how you connect with others, how you handle your relationships and friendships, for example) and it equips you with the tools to break generational cycles of pain or dysfunction.

Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, or the effects of your own childhood trauma, therapy can help you process your emotions and experiences, build healthier relationships, and develop coping strategies so that you can feel like the best version of yourself.
