parent coaching focused on nervous system regulation and practical skill building

Is parenting leaving you feeling frustrated, guilty and exhausted? Navigating mental health challenges, kids with special needs and/or challenging behavior? Teens throwing you for a loop or are you spinning your wheels with the big feelings of toddlerhood?

Parenting children of any age is the hardest job in the world and with my unique experience as a parent of four (now adult!) kids, trauma therapist, Positive Discipline Parent Educator and former elementary school counselor, I’ve learned some great hacks that can make it much easier for you.

From the comfort of your own home, you will increase your self-awareness while learning tried and true strategies to help your child build the social and emotional intelligence to support their mental and emotional well-being and set them up for success in adulthood! You’ll learn to set healthy boundaries, coach your kids through uncomfortable emotions, understand behavior and feelings, talk with instead of at your kids and provide consequences that teach skills your kids can use for the rest of their lives. Teeny, tiny shifts in these areas of your parenting pay off massively over time!

I do my work to create safe spaces for all. I am committed to inclusivity and strive to provide care that meets and acknowledges your needs, especially as related to your experience of race; ethnicity; gender; age; abilities; sexual orientation; national origin/indigenous roots; religious or spiritual beliefs; socioeconomic, marital, relationship, or immigration status; and any other identities that matter to you!
