Parent Coaching

You've often heard that parenting should come with a manual...

But no manual would cover all possible parenting challenges, nor do your last ten Google searches.  Your child, your family, and your parenting are unique, and solutions need to be personalized and work for you, now.  There is no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting your child, but there are positive strategies you can use to regain a peaceful home, and peace of mind.

Professional Support from Someone Who Understands

When I was a brand-new school counselor, I recommended parenting books to parents all the time.  I even read a bunch before I became a mom, and was pretty confident I could respond to most anything. Imagine my surprise when my first-born did not "fit" any strategy every parenting book suggested!  I realized that I needed to change my approach, but was at a loss about how to do it.  When my second daughter came along, I was equally surprised that nearly every "by-the-book" parenting strategy actually "worked" with her!

Most parenting advice fails to take into account the most important factor: your individual child.  That's why you need an individualized approach.

My Approach​
Parent coaching offers confidential, personalized, judgement-free support.  I focus on individual strengths, help parents feel confident again, and shed light on common behaviors that children experience so you gain a better understanding of your child and learn specific strategies to change behavior and enjoy a more positive parent-child relationship.  My background as a school counselor and certified trauma practitioner helps me assess whether a child's behavior is developmental in nature or is more complex.
