We all have one common goal for our children; we want them to be happy.  My work with parents and children includes:

*  providing emotion coaching for the parent and child

*  strengthening the marital relationship in order to provide a model for healthy communication and stress management

*  exploring the impact of the parents’ own childhood struggles on their capacity to parent effectively

*  creating an atmosphere where the parent and child feel respected, understood and validated

*  improving parental understanding of their child’s development

*  designing effective behavior plans for increasing a child’s positive emotions experiences and behavior
