Parenting Consultation Services
“As parents become more aware and emotionally healthy, their children reap the rewards and move toward health as well.”
My Approach
Parenting is one of the most emotionally complex roles we hold—and yet, so often, we’re expected to do it without support. Whether you're navigating your child’s emotional needs, struggling with intergenerational patterns, or feeling overwhelmed and unsure, parenting consultation can offer a grounding space to reflect, recalibrate, and reconnect.
I offer parenting consultation rooted in attachment theory, psychodynamic understanding, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). This integrative approach allows us to explore not just what’s happening behaviorally with your child—but also what’s being activated emotionally for you as a parent.
Together, we’ll explore how your parenting challenges may relate to your own experiences growing up, your internal parts, and the broader cultural and relational dynamics at play.
What Is Parenting Consultation?
Parenting consultation is different from behavioral training or “quick fix” advice. It’s a reflective, supportive process where we explore:
Your child’s needs and developmental stage
Your emotional responses as a parent
Patterns from your own upbringing that may be resurfacing
Cultural, relational, and identity factors influencing your parenting
What kind of relationship you want to build with your child—and yourself
This work creates space for self-awareness, intentional parenting, and healing across generations.
A Culturally Attuned and Trauma-Informed Lens
As a first-generation therapist, I hold deep respect for the emotional layers and expectations that shape parenting across cultures. You may be navigating questions like:
How do I parent differently than I was parented—without rejecting my cultural values?
How do I support my child’s mental health when I was taught to suppress my own?
How do I break cycles of emotional disconnection or harshness without guilt or shame?
Together, we’ll hold space for these questions with compassion and nuance. Parenting consultation can help you feel more grounded in your values, clearer in your communication, and more connected to your child’s unique emotional world.

Not Just About Your Child—It’s About You, Too
Parenting often brings up parts of ourselves we didn’t know were there: the part that wants to do everything perfectly, the part that shuts down when we feel rejected, the part that feels triggered by our child’s big emotions. Through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), we can explore these parts with kindness—allowing you to parent from a place of self-leadership rather than reactivity.
You don’t have to “get it all right” to be a good parent. You just have to be willing to grow, repair, and show up with intention.
If You're Seeking Clarity, Support, or Healing in Your Parenting Journey
Parenting consultation is for anyone who wants to parent more consciously—whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply wanting to strengthen your connection with your child.
This work isn’t about judgment—it’s about creating space to reflect, regulate, and relate with more presence and care.
