Find your way from tantrums to tranquility

 

Parent Coaching and Therapy for families with young children in Los Angeles and the South Bay.

Are you overwhelmed and exhausted by constant meltdowns?

Have you been walking on egg shells around your child trying to prevent ANOTHER melt down?

Are you feeling guilty about how you responded to your child’s behavior earlier?

You want to learn new tools to help your child (and yourself), but don’t know where to start.

What would it feel like to:

  • …be able to understand what is going on inside that little human’s mind and body…?

  • ….to feel confident about how to respond to the hitting, screaming, and crying…?

  • …to enjoy more moments of mutual joy and connection with your kids?

I’ve spent the last 15+ years of my professional and personal life learning about child development, trauma, and infant and parent mental health and I want to share what I’ve learned with you!

I won’t promise perfection. Let’s be real… Life with toddlers and preschool age kids is the antithesis of “perfection” in EVERY way imaginable…

(…ask me when the last time my house or car was 100% free of crumbs and arts and crafts debris).

Parenting is tough, but it shouldn’t be a constant painful struggle that leaves you feeling hopeless and defeated. Let me help you find more moments of fun, peace and connection in your parenting journey.

Parent with insight and confidence

“What the **** is even happening right now?!?!” Found yourself thinking this (or screaming it) lately?

Understanding emotional and behavioral challenges is the key to responding with reason (versus reactivity). Let me guide you to the research and science informed solutions that contribute to growth, joy, and connection for your family.

Survive and Thrive

The reality is, sometimes we’re just trying to survive the day (or get through a dinner at a restaurant before a meltdown happens). But when it feels like you’re in survival mode 24/7, no one is thriving. I can give you and your child the tools that’ll help everyone in your family experience more calm, resilience, and joy.

Hi! I’m Nikki.

I help families understand child behavior and thrive within joyful relationships.

If you are:

  • Desperately wanting to learn new ways to deal with your toddler’s temper tantrums and hitting;

  • Parenting a young child with anxiety that is overwhelming for the whole family;

  • Parenting a child who has experienced trauma or major life change;

  • A foster or adoptive parent wanting support and guidance;

  • A new parent feeling overwhelmed by feelings of anxiety, depression, and isolation;

  • A parent struggling to connect and bond with their baby or young child.

  • A parent wondering when being a parent will feel as blissful as everyone told them it would be.

You’re not alone in these experiences.

And you’re in the right place!
