Welcome!
Welcome to Viewpoint Parenting! I started this practice after years of working directly with children because when parents do better, children excel. Children’s mental health and behavior is directly impacted by how well the adults in their lives are functioning. Parenting is complicated and sometimes even the best intentions don’t net ideal results. When there is tension, miscommunication, unhappiness between the adults, children are at an increased risk for emotional, psychological, and behavioral disruptions.
If you are struggling as a parent, please reach out. If your marriage, co-parenting relationship, or blended family is anything less than joyful and fulfilling, your parenting struggles are likely a direct result of this disconnect.
I will work with you to understand your parenting goals and values. Together we will create a plan to dismantle the obstacles that prevent you from feeling successful as a parent. Whether you have a specific struggle in mind (such as how to tell your children you are separating) or you are frustrated by bigger-picture stressors (such as not getting along with your co-parent), I can help.
What makes me different from other couples counselors or parent coaches?
- I have years of training and experience in child development, counseling children and families, and mediation.
- In addition to Viewpoint Parenting, I have 18 years experiencing working with children in clinical settings, home-based support, and as a school counselor. I’ve experienced how children respond of various styles of parenting, and especially when there is conflict between the adults in their lives.
- I focus on the parental dynamic, because emotional and behavioral disruptions in children are often in response to how the adults are relating to one another.
I already know you are a great parent. My work is not about teaching you how to parent, it’s about helping you be the best version of yourself in all your relationships so that your children can benefit from your excellent parenting. If you’ve already worked with the pediatrician, the school, or other therapists supporting you child, and yet your child is not improving, it may be time to work on improving your adult relationships
I received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health, School & Community from Lesley University. I am a Licensed Social Worker, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and a Licensed School Guidance Counselor (PreK-Gr8) in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
