Parenting Support

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’ve spent over six years supporting families, parents, and children through some of life’s most challenging transitions. My background as a school-based therapist, in-home family therapist, and clinical supervisor has given me a deep understanding of what both kids and parents need to thrive.

At Monstera Counseling, my passion is helping parents strengthen connection and confidence in their relationships with their children. Whether you’re parenting a child who has experienced trauma, is neurodivergent, or is simply struggling to communicate, I offer practical tools and emotional support to help you create healthy bonds and firm, compassionate boundaries.

I also work with parents navigating major transitions — from launching teens into adulthood to redefining your role as your children grow. My goal is to help you feel grounded and capable, so your family can move forward with greater understanding, trust, and peace.

What we offer

  • Parenting a teen can be challenging, overwhelming, and sometimes isolating. Individual sessions are a space just for you — to process your experiences, explore what’s working and what isn’t, and build strategies that make daily parenting more manageable.

    In these sessions, we focus on:

    • Understanding your unique parenting challenges and patterns

    • Learning practical tools for communication, boundary-setting, and conflict resolution

    • Managing stress, guilt, and anxiety that come with raising a teen

    • Strengthening your confidence and sense of calm at home

    These sessions are tailored to your needs, offering support, guidance, and actionable strategies to help you feel more in control and connected with your teen. Whether you’re dealing with ongoing conflicts, navigating big transitions, or simply seeking guidance, individual work is about helping you thrive as a parent.

  • Parenting is a team effort — but raising a teen can sometimes feel like you’re on different pages. Dual Parent Support sessions give both parents a dedicated space to work together, build shared strategies, and strengthen communication around parenting decisions.

    In these sessions, we focus on:

    • Aligning on rules, boundaries, and expectations for your teen

    • Improving co-parent communication and problem-solving

    • Reducing conflicts and power struggles at home

    • Creating a more consistent, supportive environment for your family

    Whether you’re navigating disagreements, transitions, or day-to-day challenges, these sessions help you work as a team and bring more calm, clarity, and cooperation into your parenting.

  • Parenting a teen can sometimes feel like you’re speaking two different languages. Parent-Teen Collaboration sessions give both you and your teen a safe space to communicate, understand each other, and work through challenges together.

    In these sessions, we focus on:

    • Improving communication and reducing misunderstandings

    • Addressing conflicts, boundary-setting, and expectations

    • Building mutual respect and trust

    • Strengthening your connection while supporting independence

    Whether it’s navigating daily struggles, big transitions, or tense conversations, these sessions help parents and teens work together as a team, fostering a calmer, more connected home.

How It All Works

Getting support for parenting your teen is simple, flexible, and completely virtual from anywhere in Colorado— designed to fit your family’s needs from the comfort of your own home.

Step 1: Schedule a Consultation Call
Your journey begins with a short consultation call. This is a chance for us to talk about your challenges, goals, and what you’re hoping to get out of our work together. It’s also an opportunity to make sure we’re the right fit for each other — because the relationship matters.

Step 2: Choose the Support That Fits Your Family
After your consultation, you can choose any combination of the three services that work best for you:

  • Individual Parent Sessions – focus on your own growth, confidence, and strategies as a parent

  • Dual Parent Support – work together as a parenting team to align on rules, communication, and strategies

  • Parent-Teen Collaboration – build stronger connections and communication with your teen in shared sessions

Step 3: Move Forward at Your Own Pace
There’s no one-size-fits-all plan. You can mix and match services as needed, depending on what’s happening in your family. Together, we’ll create a personalized approach that helps bring more calm, connection, and confidence into your home.
