Family counseling and support for parents, kids, teens, families and adult children in NW DC.
We all need a little help sometimes. I offer Parenting Consultation, Support and Counseling to parents, adult children and families in my NW DC practice. As a family therapist, I offer tools and strategies to help you better understand, communicate, and connect with your child, teen or adult family member. Whatever the issue at hand, we can identify and work on solving it together in a supportive, compassionate and encouraging manner.
All feelings are okay. It’s what we do with our feelings that matters.
Below are some of the ways that I can help support and counsel you as a parent:
- Increase your ability to identify and process emotions effectively
- Provide a safe space for you to express and handle conflict comfortably
- Improve communication skills between parents so you feel more like a team
- Learn to become your child or teen’s emotional coach
- Support you as you discuss and problem-solve major life events or changes, including illness and divorce with your kids
- Develop a plan to tackle behavioral concerns/challenges you may have about your child or teen
- Offer counseling, support and resources for parents and families and their transgender/gender questioning children and teens
- Co-parenting and blended family support
- Forge stronger and healthier family relationships
- Explore and create meaningful family rituals
