Toddlers can be an incredibly frustrating conundrum with the ability to test parents to the extreme. Working effectively with them requires a true understanding of the age and appropriate expectations. Putting the time and work in now as a parent will help you to create a secure and positive relationship with your child providing a strong foundation on which to build as your child grows and changes.

Even the most balanced, reasonable child can be challenging at times. Whether you have a very spirited child with challenging behaviors or one that is simply going through a difficult period, I can help with strategies for mitigating or resolving the situation. The solution is in your hands!

Major life events such as a death, divorce, a new baby or marriage in your family will undoubtedly effect your child. I can work with you to ensure that you are handling the situation in a way that is developmentally appropriate and enables your child to understand and adapt to the new situation.

Parents going through a separation or divorce and trying to figure out an effective, workable plan for co-parenting, often find themselves unsure of what is best for their child. I can give you guidance for the optimal solution based on each parent’s goals and ensuring that your child’s needs are always the priority.

By the time your child is a teenager, your relationship with them is well-established. Bad habits and a cycle of conflict or mistrust in your interactions can push your teenager away. With some guidance, you can reconfigure your relationship to be less combative and more connected and collaborative - essential for your teen’s healthy development during these formative years.
