Parenting is supposed to be meaningful, but lately, it just feels overwhelming. As a parent, you find yourself wanting to work more because that's where you feel most confident. At home, you feel like you are constantly failing, forgetting tasks, and missing deadlines. You think you should be enjoying your time with your kids more, but all you want is to be alone. Sometimes you are reactive and irritable with your kids. You think you should be enjoying this time more, but instead, you feel irritable, exhausted, and craving space. You miss the person you used to be, but feel guilty for thinking that way.
I provide a warm space where you don’t have to have it all together. We’ll slow things down and get clear on what actually matters. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, we’ll identify beliefs that are keeping you stuck and begin to shift them. Through parent coaching, you’ll learn research-based strategies that help you show up the way you want to.
This isn’t about becoming a “perfect” parent. It’s about becoming a more grounded and confident version of yourself. Through this process, you find a balance between being a parent and a person. The constant overwhelm begins to quiet. You feel more patient, more present, and less pulled in a hundred directions. You begin to feel like yourself again!
