La Cañada Counseling

   One of my passions is to coach parents who are stuck in dysfunctional patterns with their children, through family sessions, play/talk therapy with the children, specific plans of action and education for the parents. 

    Having children is one of the greatest joys in a couple's life but it is also one of the biggest stressors. One of the challenges of raising a family is that children are constantly growing and changing. This requires a great ability to adjust and open up the structure of the family, in order to allow children to grow into independent, responsible adults.

    Unfortunately, other stressors in life sometimes get the best of us and leave us depleted and at a loss with how to handle that task. Communication and interactions can become dysfunctional and settle into destructive patterns. 

    My goal is to help recreate connection and empower parents to re-establish their roles and positions in the family and to provide the structure and predictability that every child needs.
