Therapy for Families
I work with families of young children. They love their children but struggle to understand their children’s emotions when they are angry, crying or whining. I help parents to translate these difficult behaviors into understandable problems. They find empathy, understanding and positive solutions.
As a result of therapy, parents can enjoy more connection, ease, and fun with their family.
This work is pro-active and preventative care, creating positive bonds that can last a lifetime.
Children become more confident and resilient. They become more self-regulated. This creates a stronger base for a successful life, giving them them tools to express themselves and make positive choices as they grow older.
My experience as a parenting educator
My parenting work draws from three areas of experience.
First, being a parent. Gaining lots of insight through participation in a parenting support group as I raised my daughter.
For twenty years, I worked with young children and families in the City of Philadelphia. I worked as a parent educator and counselor for families in crisis and at risk for abuse. I continuously saw the value of educating parents about children’s emotional needs and understanding their developmental milestones. Both parents and children gained a more harmonious family culture.
