Rebecca's Blog

Rebecca is an author, speaker, therapist, and family coach who offers her expertise to parents using the latest research to create, nurture, and heal relationships. Whether you are expecting your first baby, you are in the midst of adolescent turmoil, or your family has just experienced a trauma or major life transition, Rebecca can guide your family's journey into a place of peace and understanding. Using a focus on the relationship helps to understand behaviors, which then strengthens the relationship. This is something completely different than the traditional techniques that simply attempt to get a behavior to stop. Rebecca helps parents to understand their own blind spots and gives them information and tools to make changes for themselves in their families. Offering phone coaching and tele-classes, Rebecca has made this information accessible to anyone regardless of geographic location.

As a seasoned parent who has had her shares of trials and struggles in parenting, she will join you on your parenting journey.
