When I offer parenting consultations at my private practice in Newport Beach, California, I work with the parent in helping them understand what they value as a family. I help parents hone in on what they want their legacy to be. For some a legacy might look like embracing a certain value like honesty or a strong work ethic. Regardless of what the value is, I will help you to simplify at home what matters most. The same goes for anything you want to work on in your parenting like discipline, spending more quality time as a family, co-parenting during separation and divorce, blending a family, sibling rivalry, parenting teens, preparing for family transitions, and the list goes on. I like to work with small doable goals that set the client up for success at home, and as your confidence increases, I help you to take on bigger challenges at home. I also add educational pieces to our work about attachment, child development information, helping you create a rhythm and routine at home that just the right fit for your family. Conscious Mothering is a class I have codeveloped with my dear and talented colleague Nola Casserly, MFT held in Orange County in the city of Newport Beach. The focus of these groups is to support parents in understanding how they grew up affects how they parent. Using the latest information on brain development and attachment theory as the basis of the curriculum, parents are lead in a supportive environment through a 10 week session. The class also covers discipline, repairing ruptures with your kids, attuning, and dealing with guilt as a parent. Email me to inquire if there is a current class available.
