Co-parenting and blending families come with unique challenges, and I know how difficult it can be to navigate these transitions. Whether you’re co-parenting with a former partner or merging families with a new one, the process can feel overwhelming. Differences in parenting styles, communication struggles, and shifting family roles can bring frustration, stress, and even conflict—but you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I provide support and practical strategies to help you navigate these complexities with confidence. Together, we can:

• Strengthen communication between co-parents to reduce misunderstandings and conflict

• Develop co-parenting skills that prioritize your child’s well-being while respecting different parenting approaches

• Establish healthy boundaries that create a more stable and supportive environment for everyone

My goal is to help you build collaborative, respectful relationships—so that, even in the midst of change, your child feels secure, understood, and connected.

Transitions are a natural part of life, but that doesn’t make them easy. Whether your child is starting a new school year, adjusting to a move, experiencing parental separation, preparing for a new sibling, or stepping into adolescence or adulthood, these changes can bring big emotions, disruptions in routines, and behavioral challenges. As a parent, it can feel overwhelming to know how to best support your child through these milestones.

I’m here to help you navigate these transitions with confidence and clarity. Together, we can:

• Develop strategies to manage stress and emotions for both you and your child

• Ensure your child feels heard, supported, and secure through life’s changes

• Create a plan tailored to your child’s unique needs to ease the transition process

• Strengthen communication, set appropriate boundaries, and manage behavioral shifts that may arise

Transitions don’t have to feel destabilizing. With the right tools and guidance, you can help your child adapt, grow, and thrive through life’s inevitable changes.

When a child struggles with a specific behavior—whether it’s refusing to sleep in their own bed, avoiding school, frequent tantrums, or difficulty following directions—it can leave parents feeling frustrated, exhausted, and unsure of what to do next. You may have tried different approaches, read all the parenting books, and sought advice from friends or family, yet nothing seems to work. That’s where parent consultation can help.

Rather than using one-size-fits-all strategies, I work with you to understand the root cause of your child’s behavior through a developmental and relational lens. Together, we will:

• Identify what is underlying the behavior—whether it’s anxiety, sensory sensitivities, emotional regulation struggles, or difficulties with transitions

• Develop practical, research-backed strategies tailored to your child’s needs

• Explore how to set supportive boundaries while maintaining connection and trust

• Adjust approaches as needed to find what works best for your child and family

Behavior is communication, and my goal is to help you decode what your child is trying to express so you can respond in a way that fosters growth, security, and positive change. With the right support, even the most challenging behaviors can become opportunities for connection and development.

Supporting a child with unique learning or developmental needs often means navigating complex systems, such as schools, healthcare providers, or community services. If your child has an IEP (Individualized Education Plan), a 504 Plan, or other support needs, you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed by school meetings, assessments, and advocacy work—all while trying to ensure your child gets the services and accommodations they deserve.

Parent consultation can help you:

• Understand your child’s rights and how to effectively advocate for them within school and healthcare systems

• Prepare for IEP and 504 Plan meetings with confidence, knowing what to ask for and how to communicate concerns

• Collaborate with teachers and school staff to create an environment where your child can thrive

• Navigate referrals and outside services, ensuring your child has access to the right resources and support

• Strengthen communication between school, home, and providers to create a more consistent and supportive experience for your child

Advocating for your child shouldn’t feel like a battle. With the right knowledge and guidance, you can feel empowered to work within these systems and ensure your child gets the support they need to succeed.
