This group meets to provide support to parents in areas and situations that are specific to their kids ages and needs. Groups can be created around a common age or theme (eg-divorce, loss) and are typically 4-5 parents per group. We meet for 1.25 hours every 2-3 weeks depending upon the groups decision. We discuss everything from behaviors, limit setting, development, managing school or peer issues, etc. It is very open ended. The beauty of these types of group are that parents provide support and ideas for each other while the group leader can give more specific advice. Dates/times TBD

This "group" is a series of presentations geared toward the parents of preschool-age children. I present these topics largely in an informal, question-and-answer format ("Ask the School Psychologist;" "Ask Dr. Jenny"). Sessions are usually timed to coincide with drop-off time at the school, and parents are welcome to bring younger siblings. Past topics have included "Ages and Stages: How Children Grow and Change through Preschool;" "Kindergarten Readiness: A Social-Emotional Perspective;" and "Ethical Kids: Helping Children Learn to do the Right Thing." I am also available to develop new subjects, as requested by parents and teachers.

I am a Peer Support provider for the International Association for Premenstrual Disorders. At IAPMD, volunteers give their time to support others living with premenstrual disorders via online chat. All of the providers have lived experience of PMDD, PME, and/or other reproductive health challenges and draw upon their personal experience to help others. Volunteers have completed our Peer Support Provider Training and are skilled at providing support, sharing resources and information and helping in moments of crisis. Premenstrual disorders are too often overlooked; therefore, we strive to educate and advocate for proper and treatable diagnoses.

When your child ignores you or, even worse, rudely refuses a reasonable request, do you find yourself thinking "What have I done wrong?"
In this child-centered world, kids are encouraged "to be seen and to be heard." That's a good thing. Still, the scenario of the "too-empowered" child has become commonplace and is challenging. And if you are a parent who has difficulty handling these challenging moments, you may be interested in joining my psychotherapy/support group. It focuses on exploring creative strategies which will help you to manage these situations in a firm yet loving way.
