Helping Parents and Teens Reconnect

Services

At Connections Counseling & Wellness, I primarily work with parents who want to better understand their teens, improve communication at home, and feel more confident navigating the challenges of adolescence and family life.

While some teens may be involved in the process when helpful, the main focus of my work is supporting parents with practical tools, insight, and guidance they can use in everyday moments at home.  

Parent Counseling

(Individual Sessions)

These sessions are designed for parents who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to best support their child.

Parenting is rewarding, but it can also be overwhelming — especially when you're managing conflict at home, advocating for your child at school, navigating behavioral or emotional concerns, or simply trying to show up for your family while feeling stretched too thin. These individual sessions are designed for parents at any stage who want to strengthen their relationship with their child while also finding support for themselves. With nearly two decades of experience as a middle and high school counselor, I bring a deep understanding of the challenges families face today. Together, we'll explore what's happening beneath the surface, develop practical communication and problem-solving tools, and help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity. 

Many parents come in feeling frustrated, worried, or like nothing they try is working. These sessions offer a space to slow down, make sense of what’s going on, and find a clearer way forward. You don't have to figure it all out on your own.

 

A Therapist-Facilitated Parent Support Group and Book Club for Parenting Girls

(Currently Accepting Interest)

I am currently accepting interest in small group experiences for parents who want to learn and grow alongside others navigating similar challenges.

These guided groups are designed to help you:

  • Improve communication with your teen
  • Reduce daily conflict and power struggles
  • Better understand emotional and behavioral responses
  • Strengthen your relationship while maintaining healthy boundaries

The current focus is a therapeutic book study centered on practical, real-life parenting strategies you can apply at home right away. This is not just reading and discussion—it’s guided support, skill-building, and real-world application.

Future groups will also be offered for parents of tween and teenage boys.

 

What You Can Expect

Across all services, the goal is the same: to help you feel more confident, connected, and equipped as a parent.

We will work toward:

  • Understanding your teen’s behavior in a new way

  • Responding with more calm and clarity in difficult moments

  • Improving trust and communication at home

  • Reducing stress and emotional overwhelm in parenting

The goal is not perfect parenting—it’s a healthier, more connected relationship with your child and a home environment that feels more manageable and less reactive.

If you’re unsure where to start, individual parent counseling is often the best first step. From there, we can decide together whether group support might also be a good fit.
