Parent Coaching

When was the last time you…

Lost your cool and exploded at your children

Got so riled up that you took away a privilege impulsively

Told your child to be more like “so & so”

Grounded your child but saw no change in their behavior

Noticed your child walking all over you and felt powerless to stop it

Had a showdown over homework

Okay, so you’re human. Welcome to the club.

Humans are imperfect. Parenting is messy.

A huge, important part of being a parent is accepting that you’re often not going to do it right. You’re just not. It takes finding the right strategies that work best for you and your family to feel connected to one another in positive, meaningful ways.

So how do you find the strategies that will be effective with your children?

That’s where I come in. As a parenting coach, I work closely with individuals and couples to turn challenging parenting situations into opportunities for them to connect with their children.

I know I make it sound easy. It’s not.

But with my engaged coaching and ongoing support, you become equipped with the most effective strategies and tools to weather any storm that comes your way.

These tools enable you to be more mindful, calm, and confident in your parenting, to bring positive energy into your home again, and to feel connected to your children in a whole new way.

But it’s hard to break old habits.

You are so right!

Most of my clients report that they tried implementing all kinds of parenting strategies before coming to see me. They read best-selling books, attended lectures, and scoured the internet for helpful tips.

Ultimately, even after multiple attempts with these new strategies, they didn’t experience the changes they wanted for themselves and their children.

That’s because old habits and patterns get ingrained in our brains, and it is nearly impossible to change these patterns on our own without a seasoned professional to put you on the right path.

I can put you on the path to becoming the parent you want to be.

I bring over 15 years of working with children and parents as a master teacher, an administrator, a therapist, and a coach into my work with you.

I also bring extensive advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, the most empirically validated therapy for healing and transforming relationships.

As a parent of teenage boys, I draw from my experiences as someone who has been and continues to be in the parenting trenches myself.

With me on your team, you have ongoing support from a professional who can relate to your struggles, tailor a parenting plan just for you, and cheer you on as you reach your goals!

Sounds amazing! So how do I get started?

You simply fill out the form below, and I will respond as soon as possible.

We will schedule a free 20-minute phone consultation where we can get to know each other a bit, discuss the issues you are having, talk more about my approach, and determine if we are a fit to work together.

If we are a good fit, we schedule the first session, begin our work together, and the positive changes start to unfold.
