Your family deserves a place where everyone can be heard. Family issues can bleed into your everyday, individual life. I work with families to build strong communications skills and the ability to process thoughts and feelings together.
I am a certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator. Positive Discipline promotes healthy boundaries and autonomy between all family members and teaches valuable social and life skills by:
Helping all family members (particularly children) feel a sense of connection
Identifying the belief behind problem behaviors
Teaching effective communication and problem-solving skills
Teaching parents how to be kind and firm at the same time
Allowing children to discover the constructive use of personal power and autonomy
Focusing on solutions instead of punishment
Positive discipline helps parents consider what their children are thinking, feeling, learning, and deciding about themselves and the world they live in and what to do in the future to survive and thrive.
