Most parents seek coaching to feel less anxious and more empowered. They want to be more confident in their parenting and learn different ways to address the challenges they are facing. A coach can help you understand your unique parenting style and strengths and how to leverage them. Further, a coach offers resources and strategies that help you manage your current reality, learn better self-care, and consider your core values.

We start with a free intake call so I can learn about your needs/concerns and share information about my practice. After that you will fill out an intake assessment and we will both sign a coaching agreement. Once those documents are received, I will schedule our first session when it is convenient for your schedule.

As a parent coach, I only meet with the parents. I trust that you can accurately share your concerns with me and we can partner effectively to address them. This is a space reserved just for you to learn your strengths, clarify your values, and co-construct your preferred future for your family.

I am happy to work with anyone in the role of parent who would like to participate. I do not require that both/all parents are engaged.

Absolutely. I have a particular affinity for divorced parents as I grew up with divorced parents and am divorced myself. I am proud of wonderful results with parents who have worked to co-parent effectively after divorce.

I offer both phone and Zoom sessions which can accommodate your schedule and obviate any commuting time. Self-selected group sessions may be in person.

• One-on-One Coaching – Individual coaching is a good fit for a parent eager to identify their own style/strengths and work on their own parenting challenges.

• Couples Coaching – Couples/partners can choose to be coached together to address their unique styles and ways in which they may complement one another. This is also an effective forum for separated/divorced couples to learn to co-parent more effectively and stay focused on what is best for the children.

• Group Coaching – Group coaching is for parents facing similar challenges with like-aged children. This cohort approach allows for members to learn from each other and can be a cost-effective option for a self-selected group.
