PARENTING THERAPY IN MINNETONKA
Build confidence and connection as a parent.
Parenting can bring up more than you expected.
Parenting is meaningful - and often challenging in ways you didn’t anticipate. Your children are your world. All you want is for them to find joy, belongingness. and success in this world. And you are person in which they get to explore their world and become the human they’re meant to be. Sometimes, our own ‘stuff’ gets in the way. We know how we want to respond to our kids, but in reality, it can go in the opposite direction.
You may find yourself:
reacting in ways you didn’t intend
feeling overwhelmed in certain moments
unsure how to respond to your child’s emotions
questioning whether you’re “doing it right”
trying to parent differently than you were raised - but finding it harder than expected
The way you were parented often shapes how you respond to your child - especially in moments of stress, conflict, or big emotions. You might notice:
strong reactions that are hard to control
patterns that feel familiar, even if you want them to change
pressure to “get it right”
how i can help
Parenting support and therapy can help you feel secure in your relationship with your kids.
Parenting support isn’t about doing things perfectly. It’s about understanding what’s happening underneath the surface - for both you and your child.
In our work together, we’ll:
understand the biology of what is happening for you and your child in times of conflict and stressful situations
explore your emotional responses as a parent
identify patterns that show up in difficult moments
understand how your past experiences influence your parenting
develop more intentional, connected ways of responding
Over time, many parents notice:
more patience and confidence
less reactivity in stressful moments
clearer, more consistent boundaries
a stronger connection with their child
more trust in themselves as a parent
imagine if you…
Understood your child’s behaviors
We’ll build an understanding of what happens for kids at a scientific and developmental level so that we know what skills to apply and why you use them.
Could stop the tug of war between you and your child
The power struggle is one of the hardest things to experience between you and your child. You feel stuck in a constant game of tug-of-war. Drop the rope in this game and start feeling more connected together.
Felt more connected as a family
By eliminating the power struggle and knowing how to deeply connect with your child, even through the tantrums and challenging behaviors, you will feel a deeper connection as a family unit. The ability to repair and heal together will bring you closer than ever.
