My Approach
The Foundation
Love your kid, and use your common sense.
​
Explore your own value system and understand how your values can inform your choices.
​
I can help you recognize the strengths you and your children already have. Together, we can discover how to use those strengths to build the kind of life you choose.
Hard Choices
Your values drive your priorities. Your priorities drive your choices.
Parenting challenges almost never involve choosing between a good and a bad choice. Real challenges arise when we must choose between two competing values.
Understanding your own values and priorities will help you make choices with which you can feel at peace.
Helping Them Grow
A huge portion of parenting challenges boil down to this: When should I step in, and when should I step back? Does my child need a boost, or do they need an opportunity to stretch, and possibly to fail? I won't give you answers. I'll help you develop skills that enable you to choose how you want to foster your child's growth
Caring for You
Self-care is about discovering what nourishes you and making space in your life for whatever that is. It's caring for our bodies and also our minds. What do I need more of in my life to help me thrive as a person and as a parent? What do I need less of? Together, we can help you figure out how to make that happen in a way that aligns with your other responsibilities and wants.
