Therapy for Parents, Co-Parents, and Families

Therapy for co-parents in Los Angeles

Parenting is one of the most important and emotionally complex roles we take on in life. It’s deeply rewarding—but can also be exhausting, confusing, and overwhelming. Whether you’re navigating toddler tantrums, teen independence, or co-parenting after a divorce, you may find yourself wondering: Am I doing this right? Why isn’t what I’m trying working?Why do I feel so alone or triggered in my parenting?

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, parent educator, and mother of three adult children, I offer a compassionate, informed, and deeply practical approach to parenting therapy. I have spent over a decade teaching parenting classes at Babies First Class, where I was trained by renowned parenting expert Jackie Rosenberg, O.T.R.This foundation, combined with my clinical training and real-world experience, allows me to help parents feel more confident, connected, and capable in their parenting journey.

What You Can Expect from Parenting Therapy
In our work together, we’ll address the everyday and long-term challenges you’re facing in your parenting life. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by your child’s behavior, struggling to communicate with your co-parent, or feeling guilt, frustration, or burnout, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Together, we’ll create a collaborative, supportive space where you can:

  • Explore the dynamics that may be playing out with your child or co-parent
  • Reflect on how your own upbringing or emotional patterns are showing up in your parenting
  • Strengthen your emotional regulation so you can respond—not react—in high-stress moments
  • Develop more effective strategies for discipline, communication, and boundary setting
  • Create a parenting or co-parenting plan that feels aligned, consistent, and realistic

Leave Each Session With a Plan
Each session will leave you with clear, actionable tools and strategies that you can immediately begin applying at home. Whether it’s a script to try with your child, a new framework for setting limits, or a way to better manage bedtime battles or screen time struggles, you’ll walk away with a sense of clarity, direction, and confidence.

We’ll work together to:

  • Identify what’s working—and what’s not
  • Learn new parenting language and communication tools
  • Create routines that reduce chaos and increase connection
    Build structure and consistency without losing warmth or empathy
  • Address specific parenting concerns like tantrums, sibling rivalry, sleep struggles, transitions, or behavior regulation

 

Co-Parenting Support

What You Can Expect from Co-Parenting Therapy
For parents navigating separation, divorce, or blended family life, co-parenting therapy offers a vital opportunity to create consistency and emotional safety for your children—even when you’re no longer partnered with their other parent. In our sessions, I provide a nonjudgmental space to help you:

  • Align on values, expectations, and routines
  • Communicate with your co-parent more effectively
  • Reduce conflict and avoid triangulation with your child
  • Make shared decisions that are in your child’s best interest
  • Establish a secure co-parenting foundation that supports your child’s growth and resilience

A “Loving But Firm” Approach
Children want and need structure. They feel safe when they know the rules, trust that their parents are in charge, and can rely on predictable boundaries and emotional presence. I will help you find your “loving but firm” parenting voice—an approach that is emotionally attuned, confident, and clear.

Parenting doesn’t come with a manual, but it doesn’t have to be something you do alone. Together, we’ll build the family dynamic you desire—one that is grounded in mutual respect, emotional connection, and healthy boundaries.

A Supportive, Judgment-Free Space
Whether you’re navigating parenting stress, betrayal, intimacy issues, or co-parenting challenges, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore your relationship’s struggles. With warmth and directness, I guide you in creating the kind of partnership you want—one built on trust, respect, and emotional security.
