Parenting is one of the most challenging and rewarding callings in life. And as the saying goes children don’t come with an instruction manual- they are way too wonderfully unique to even attempt that. Many parents feel overwhelmed by the multitudes of options and advise from family, friends, and media resources. The good news is that there are some heavily researched parenting methods and techniques that will help parents shape, mold, and prepare children for the real world- allowing them the freedom and joy of learning throughout their childhood. I have spent the past 12 years dedicated exclusively to researching and training in the most effective parenting methods and behavioral strategies. I take a comprehensive approach based on a variety of effective and loving methods including Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Love and Logic, Conscious Discipline, and Positive Parenting. It is my belief and experience that all parents can be equipped through training and coaching to reach their parenting goals.
