Is your child struggling and you find yourself worrying about them? Are you having trouble connecting with your child? With so many competing pressures and distractions, it can be hard to find time to build the kinds of relationships we want. We are bombarded with all sorts of information making it difficult to find a direction that feels consistent with our culture and values. I help parents and children build stronger connections so kids have a secure foundation to develop into their full potential. I will walk you through the hard parts while having some fun in the process.
