Parents
Parenthood is defined by constant change. Just as one stage begins to feel manageable, something shifts—developmentally, relationally, or structurally—and the ground moves again. Many parents I work with describe this as less a linear progression and more a series of recalibrations, each requiring new decisions, new boundaries, and a reworking of identity.
Whether you are navigating early parenthood and exhaustion, feeling unsettled by the rapid changes of adolescence, or grappling with the quieter disorientation that can come as children become more independent, parenting often brings up emotions that are difficult to name—frustration, grief, worry, guilt, and even resentment alongside deep love and commitment. My role is to offer a space where all of this can be spoken honestly and held thoughtfully, without judgment, while we work practically toward what comes next.
Complicated Family Relationships
All families are complex. Add in layered systems—multigenerational relationships, shared businesses, wealth and succession planning, blended families, divorces, or public visibility—and that complexity intensifies. Parents may find themselves navigating difficult questions: how to set and maintain boundaries in families with strong personalities, how to manage conflict without escalation or withdrawal, how to remain connected across difference, or how to respond when relationships become strained or estranged.
For families with significant financial resources or privilege, there is often an additional, quieter layer of concern. Parents may worry about raising children who are grounded, grateful, and emotionally resilient—without entitlement, dependence, or disconnection from meaning and effort. Decisions about money, access, opportunity, and responsibility can feel high-stakes, particularly when values, legacy, and long-term family cohesion are part of the picture.
​
I approach this work through a family systems lens, helping parents understand how patterns take shape over time and why certain dynamics continue to repeat despite best intentions. Together, we focus on developing clear boundaries, healthier communication, and thoughtful responses that align with both your values and your family’s realities. My work is not about prescribing a single “right” way to parent, but about helping you lead your family with greater clarity, confidence, and steadiness—especially in complex environments.

In my office, parents often describe feeling a sense of relief in finally being able to take a breath. You don’t have to hold the entire system on your own here. I see the whole picture, and I’ll work with you to make sense of it—practically, emotionally, and with an eye toward the long term.
