Navigating Parenthood

Being a new parent comes with a whirlwind of emotions and questions.

You’re excited, exhausted, and sometimes overwhelmed. We will navigate these big emotions and normalize the ups and downs of parenting.

We’ll discuss what to expect and how to handle the unexpected, giving you tools to manage stress and build confidence in your parenting journey.

Sometimes navigating our new roles comes with a lot of frustration and learning how to deal with a side of us we thought we had dealt with already.

We will talk about the struggles, while also finding ways to connect as parents versus feeling at odds with one another.


Healing and Regulating Through Therapy

Parenting isn’t just about taking care of your child; it’s also about taking care of yourself. I’ll help you learn to regulate your emotions and heal from past experiences that might affect how you parent.

By focusing on your well-being, we create a healthier environment for you and your child.

This process is especially important if you’re dealing with old wounds or trauma that can resurface during the intense experience of raising kids.

Experienced Guidance

With over a decade of experience working with children and families, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my practice.

Although I only work with kids aged 10+ in my virtual practice, my experience allows me to provide valuable insights and support for parents of all ages.

My background in community mental health and dedication to serving under-resourced populations means I understand the diverse challenges parents face.

Diverse Perspectives in Parenting

As a first-generation, bisexual, Latine therapist, I bring a unique perspective to my work with parents.

I understand the complexities of navigating parenthood within different cultural contexts and the additional pressures that can come with being part of a marginalized community.

Whether you’re dealing with cultural expectations, family dynamics, or simply trying to find your own way, I’m here to support you.

Building Stronger Families in Therapy

Our work together in therapy will focus on creating a strong, healthy family dynamic.

We’ll explore ways to improve communication, manage conflicts, and build a deeper understanding between you and your child.

By addressing both your needs and your child’s, we create a balanced approach that benefits the whole family.

A Safe Space for All Parents Through Coaching

Every parent’s journey is unique, and I’m here to honor your individual experience.

Whether you’re a new mom, a seasoned parent, or “just plain” navigating parenthood, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can express your fears, celebrate your successes, and find the strength to keep going.

Through coaching, we practice communication that will help your kiddos feel understand and experience boundaries in a safe way.
