Stress, anxiety, fear, anger, resentment, and guilt are just a few of negative emotions that can come up for parents when their child is defiant, hurts their sibling, acts helpless or negatively seeks attention. Big feelings for child and parent result in a full family breakdown. During weekly sessions, parents learn how to release the negative emotions they experience and learn to rewire their brains and release their negative parenting patterns established in childhood. Parents gain the tools to win the child's cooperation, stop the power struggles, and establish positive family connections. The parent and child start thriving!
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are at the core of my work with parents and children. Together we work to recognitive negative thinking patterns and set new positive thoughts and feelings. I also use reiki, breathing practices and mindfulness meditation to help parents reach their personal and family goals.
Behind every struggling child there is a parent wishing they had the answer to help their child. Together, we can come up with that answer. Being a parent is so wonderful, but it is also the hardest thing you will ever do. When you work with me, you can develop patterns to make parenting more fun, positive and fulfilling. Help can start now!
