Presence in Parenting

" ... children don't need our ideas an expectations, or our dominance and control, only for us to be attuned to them with our engaged presence." I started Presence in Parenting® in 2009 to be able to work more closely with parents beyond having a psychotherapy practice. Working with children and families has always been a passion of mine, but I had not yet been able to tap into working intensely and exclusively with parents in order to create change in their families. When I began Presence in Parenting, I found that this direct work had such an impact on the children and families in the community that I began not only holding parenting classes, but incorporating coaching and consulting as well to individualize the focus of the work for each unique family. Now Presence in Parenting is ready to move into the video age with online classes, webinars, and one on one online coaching, to reach beyond the local community here in Los Angeles. I also wanted to make the material available to parents on their own schedule, as I know it is hard, especially with children, to schedule time to commit to a weekly group, class, or appointment in an office. I hope you enjoy the content on this page and find it helpful on your parenting journey. Feel free to contact me with your parenting questions and I will answer with future videos and posts. Be well,
