PARENT COACHING
No parent is perfect.
What matters is the repair.
Parenting can bring moments of deep connection alongside exhaustion, self-doubt, and uncertainty about how to respond when things get hard. You may find yourself wondering how to set limits without escalating a power struggle, support big emotions without giving in, or respond differently than you were parented yourself.
Parent coaching offers a space to slow things down, understand what may be happening beneath your child's behavior, and find practical ways to respond with greater confidence and connection.
You Might Be Here Because…
Your child's tantrums, meltdowns, anxiety, or big emotions feel difficult to navigate
You find yourself caught in power struggles or repeating the same patterns
You're unsure how to set clear limits while staying connected
You want to respond more calmly but find yourself yelling or shutting down
You and your partner have different approaches to parenting
You want to better understand what's underneath your child's behavior
You're parenting a teenager and navigating conflict, distance, communication, or increasing independence
You notice experiences from your own childhood influencing how you parent
Fertility treatment, pregnancy loss, a difficult birth, or the postpartum period continues to shape your experience of parenting
A Reflective, Relationship-Focused Approach
The goal isn't perfect parenting or eliminating every difficult behavior. It's understanding what's happening beneath the surface, building confidence in how you respond, and finding ways to hold boundaries while maintaining connection.
My approach is grounded in attachment, emotional regulation, and child development and draws from evidence-based approaches including Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), the Reflective Parenting Program (RPP), and Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS).
Together, we can look at both what your child may be communicating through their behavior and what gets activated in you as a parent. From there, we develop practical strategies that fit your child, your values, and your family.
How It Works
1:1 Parent Coaching & Consultation
Sessions are conversational, collaborative, and tailored to what is happening in your family. Some parents come for support around a specific challenge, while others benefit from ongoing consultation as their child grows and new situations arise.
We can meet weekly, biweekly, or as needed.
Sessions are available in person at my West Los Angeles office and virtually.
Reflective Parenting Program (RPP) Groups
I offer RPP groups for parents who want to better understand what may be happening beneath their child’s behavior and strengthen connection within the parent-child relationship.
RPP groups provide a supportive space to step back from the day-to-day challenges of parenting and become more curious about your child’s thoughts, feelings, and needs, while also noticing your own emotional responses as a parent. Through guided discussion, reflection, and practical tools, parents develop a deeper understanding of their child and greater confidence navigating difficult moments.
Groups may be offered for parents of children at different developmental stages, including parents of adolescents. Please reach out for information about upcoming groups or to discuss bringing an RPP group to your school or community.
Parent Workshops
I offer workshops for parents and caregivers focused on child development, emotional regulation, behavior, communication, and the parent-child relationship. Workshops combine accessible psychoeducation with practical strategies parents can use at home and can be tailored to the developmental stage and needs of each community.
Parent workshop topics include:
Reflective Parenting: Understanding Your Child and Yourself
Understanding and Responding to Challenging Behavior
Setting Limits While Maintaining Connection
Supporting Children Through Big Emotions
Parent-Child Communication Through the Tween and Teen Years
Past professional and school-based workshops have also included:
Co-Regulation & the Window of Tolerance
Suicide Prevention: When to Worry
Trauma-Informed Schools
Sexual Harassment Prevention
Workshops can be customized for schools, parent groups, practices, and community organizations. Please reach out to discuss a topic or the needs of your community.
Getting Started
You don't need to have the “right” parenting strategy figured out before reaching out.
We'll start with what's happening in your family, what you've already tried, and what you'd like to feel different. From there, we can determine whether parent coaching and consultation is the right fit.
