Parenting Therapy & Support

A space to understand how you show up as parents — and as partners.

Parenting doesn’t just ask something of you as individuals — it asks something of your relationship.
Two (or more) people, each with their own upbringing, values, wounds, hopes, and beliefs about “how parenting should look,” suddenly find themselves raising a child together.

It’s beautiful.
It’s overwhelming.
And sometimes, it’s confusing to figure out where your parenting selves end and your partnership begins.

This space helps you make sense of how you each arrived at the parents you are today — and how to stay connected along the way.

Does this sound familiar:

  • “We grew up differently, so we parent differently — and we don’t know how to meet in the middle.”

  • You are about to have a baby, realize you have never changed a diaper before, and feel embarrassed to ask or worry you will be judged.

  • “We love our kids, but we’ve lost parts of ourselves… and parts of each other.”

  • “We don’t want to repeat what we grew up with — but we also don’t know what the alternative is.”

  • “Who are we going to be as a couple once our kids leave home?”

You may be navigating:

  • Parenting differences based on your own childhood experiences

  • Identity loss or relationship strain after becoming parents

  • Exhaustion that leaves little room for emotional intimacy

  • Mismatched expectations around discipline, roles, or structure

  • The invisible workload that breeds resentment

  • The emotional shift of being “just us again” in the empty-nest years

If you’re feeling the impact of parenting on your relationship, you’re not alone.

“Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.”

James Baldwin

My Approach

In this space:

  • We explore the stories you each bring from your own upbringing

  • We identify where your parenting styles complement or clash

  • We untangle parenting stress from relationship stress

  • There is room to name resentment, love, exhaustion, fear, and hope

  • We look at who you are now and who you want to be as partners and parents

This isn’t about deciding who is “right” or whose parenting style wins.
It’s about understanding your patterns, strengthening your connection, and creating a family culture that feels aligned with your shared values.

This work helps you stay connected through the early years, the busy years, and the years after your children grow up — so you don’t one day look at each other and realize the relationship was paused for too long.

Understanding your stories, patterns, and the partnership beneath the parenting.

I work from a relational and EFT-informed lens, helping you understand the emotional needs, attachment patterns, and histories that shape the way you each parent — and the way you connect as partners.

Ready You’re Ready

Because caring for your relationship is caring for your family—
with attention to your connection as partners, and the way you communicate, navigate challenges, and shape the environment your children grow up in.
