Finding our way home.

Each of us has unique experiences in the world. Our feelings, our emotions, and our beliefs are all shaped by these experiences. Sometimes we reach a point where we recognize that our or others’ behaviors are not supporting the kind of person we want to be, the relationships we want to have, or the life we want to live. These tender moments are the beginning of change, and this can feel destabilizing because of the perception that the emotions that often accompany change are ones that we do not need. The current literature on emotions demonstrates that emotions are connected to cognition, reason, and the ability to navigate complex situations.

Luckily, we can learn to identify and work with these emotions at softer intensities and develop strategies to work with emotions in the context in which they arise. We can try out different strategies and see if what we did was helpful and if it worked. This is where working with a parenting professional can help.

Parent coaching is a unique opportunity for parents who are in high-conflict co-parenting relationships. Andrea’s expertise is in Emotions, Emotion Regulation, High-Conflict Co-Parenting, Conflict Resolution/Transformative Practices, and forensic social work.

Change can be challenging, and sometimes we need support from a caring professional. You have found a safe harbor. A place where you can connect, slow down, and sail soother seas.

Creating space. Building trust. Welcoming wisdom.

Feelings and emotions can be difficult to understand, let alone trust, especially if they have always gotten us into trouble. Learning to work with them can be liberating. Perhaps you experience the darkness of rage and need control-even when it hurts others. Perhaps you learned to take care of those around you, but never truly discovered who you are and what you love. If you feel tired, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, filled with rage, apathetic, confused, or afraid you will never break free from the cycle you are in, I can help.
