You Try So Hard to Be the Best Parent You Can Be, and Yet, Too Often, You End Up
Being The Parent You Never Wanted To Be!
I see you! I was you! In my work with parents over the past 15 years, I have come to understand that becoming more responsive and less reactive as a parent doesn’t come from more will, but rather from more skill.
Typical Parenting Approaches Can Be
Missing a Key Piece Of the Parenting Puzzle...
I believe you can be trying really hard, yet still be missing this key piece of the parenting puzzle...
The understanding that Behavior is Communication. Let me give that a minute to sink in because it’s not what you typically hear! Behavior is your child’s first language. This understanding has allowed me to help parents, just like you, in situations that have felt overwhelming or even utterly hopeless and impossible .
Susan & Jason’s Story
(an artist, a teacher & parents of two)
He’s been on time to school, barely an outburst, bravely trying to write, having big math success and making friends. He’s only had two mental health days out of 13, which was unheard of to date. Seeing him way more “present”, and so happy, is overwhelmingly beautiful.
Update: It's been a year since we completed our work with Kathy. Our intense work last spring and summer created a reset – a new, steadier foundation from which things have continued to get better. Our son's last year has been a banner one! Tantrums are rare. When they happen, he can pull himself out quickly. At the same time we know how to set up better expectations, give him space and support him, while also keeping our cool as we ride out the hard moments. He made it to nearly every day of school and was really part of his class for the first time in his school career. Overall, it’s harmonious here and much more like the family I envisioned and hoped for. We're ever grateful we did the work with Kathy.
When we first reached out to Kathy, we were exhausted and unable to enjoy our family. My 9-year-old was so stressed out about school that he often refused to go. We were left fielded by unpredictable explosive outbursts from him and stuck in a cycle that we couldn’t get out of.
The practices, perspective and calmer foundation we worked on with Kathy over the following six months made a seriously huge difference! We’re now three months into the new school year and it’s going SO WELL for our son!!!!!

Your Parenting Skills & Helps You Implement
Effective Parenting Strategies
I have experienced first hand with my own family, and seen again and again in my work with parents over the past 15 years, how a strong foundation of guiding principles, based on the understanding of behavior as communication, combined with successful, practical parenting strategies, aligned with that understanding have helped my clients reach their goals. In the process, they've come to:
-
better understand what's happening with their child or teen.
-
learned how to respond to break the cycles of negative behaviors.
-
repair and nurture loving connection with their child.
-
feel more confident in their parenting
-
enjoy more peace at home.
