I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor and the founder of Hineni Parenting, a space for parents who want to practice presence instead of perfection. In my clinical work, I support adolescents and families navigating complex emotional challenges. Over time I noticed that many thoughtful, values-driven parents do not need more discipline strategies. They need tools that help them stay grounded in hard moments. Hineni Parenting grew from that realization. Hineni means “Here I am.” It is a response of presence. In parenting, that often looks like choosing connection before correction, especially when emotions are high. My work integrates: • Emotion Coaching, based on the research of Dr. John Gottman • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a values-based behavioral framework • Jewish ethical wisdom and tradition Inside this community we focus on structured, practical tools that help parents: • Recognize emotional patterns in themselves and their teens • Respond instead of react • Strengthen connection during conflict • Anchor their parenting in clear values This is not therapy. It is skill-building, consultation, and guided reflection. If you are seeking clinical treatment and are located in Utah, you can learn more about my therapy practice at www.hineni-counseling.com . Parenting is not about having all the answers. It is about choosing to show up. Hineni.
