Kavita Comoglio, MA, MBA, LMFT: "Put Your Oxygen Mask on First"

Have you heard this during the safety announcement before your airplane takes off? "Put your oxygen mask on first, before assisting those traveling with you." 

It's so true. We need to make sure we are okay before we can help others. This goes for moms, dads, and parents, too. Every day, as you raise your kids and juggle the demands of work and family, you are making choices to forgo (maybe even forget) your own needs. Of course, as responsible and caring parents and partners, you do a lot of that. If this goes on for too long, without even realizing it, feelings begin to build up inside you, like feeling exhausted, under- or un-appreciated, and irritable. Perhaps, it starts affecting your job or your relationship with your partner. Parenting can also bring up stuff from your own childhood and your relationship dynamics with your own parents. You don't have to go it alone.   

I work with individual moms and dads, as well as, couples. Some areas I commonly help moms, dads and couples with are: 

• Feeling overwhelmed navigating work/family balance issues
• Coping with transitions - empty-nesting, defining your partnership/marriage as you enter parenthood or after children have left home
• Nurturing the couple relationship in conjunction with parenthood
• Parenting stress / defining identity as parent

Please visit my website to read more about me and my practice. Please call me to schedule a free 30-minute consultation, so I can get to know you and you can ask me questions. We'll see if working together is a good fit for both of us. 

It is said that it takes a village to raise a happy, well-adjusted child. I am proud to be a part of the village that supports you.
