Personal Statement

Most parents don’t talk about the negative aspects of parenting—the frustrations, stress, and over-thinking. Although you have worked hard to be the best mom or dad you can be for your kids, many days, it just doesn’t seem like enough. But you are not alone!

Parenting is a difficult job, and often, your own personal challenges can get in the way. Maybe you are not the most patient person. Maybe you have difficulty controlling your anger. Maybe you don’t know how to be a better parent to your children, alternatively from how you were raised. With over 25 years’ experience, I can help you create a toolbox for those tough situations and make you a more confident, patient, and happy parent!

The most important aspects of the parent-child relationship are communication, cooperation, and respect. When you learn to control your emotions, your children will respond accordingly. Whether you are single, married, or divorced, I want to help you with any difficulty you face as a parent. The relationship you have with your kids should be happy and rewarding. Don’t let your everyday stresses steal away your joy!
