Parenting Issues

There are many personal problems and issues that can affect the ability to parent well. Although most can be addressed by working with an adult therapist, consulting a child clinical psychologist can be helpful.

Parents struggling with depression may find it difficult to meet their children's day to day needs while shielding them from their own problems. Adults raised in dysfunctional families may not know a healthier model for raising their children. Parents may also need advice on how to support their children when there are family problems or events that affect them.
  • I work with parents to improve child management skills, discipline, communication, and parent-child relationships.
  • I help parents understand and decrease the impact of their own problems on their child's adjustment and development
  • I also provide education and support to parents whose children have been sexually abused or assaulted.
