Parent Consultation

As a parent myself, I get it. Parenting is hard. It’s probably the most difficult (and the most rewarding) experience you’ll ever have. Whether you’re looking for someone to help guide you through the daily hassles of managing chores, homework, and household routines or for more specialized guidance about how to parent a child/teen with more serious challenges, I’m here to help! In my work with parents, I draw from evidence-based parenting interventions demonstrated to improve parent-child relationships and self-esteem, and to reduce anxiety and child behavioral challenges. At the same time, I tailor my approach to you and your family’s needs to ensure that you feel supported in managing the trials and tribulations that are unique to your family.

As an anxiety specialist, I also offer SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) therapy, which is a parenting program designed for parents of anxious kids and teens who aren’t quite ready for individual therapy themselves. SPACE is a parent-only intervention that has been demonstrated to be equally as effective as individual therapy for treating anxiety and OCD in children and adolescents. It’s all about supporting parents in knowing when to comfort and console, when to push kids to overcome anxiety, when to step in and help, and when to back off and let kids manage on their own.
