Parent Coaching
Parent Coaching:
Many parents are surprised by how emotionally demanding parenting can be, especially when caring for children who have experienced loss, trauma, disruptions in attachment, or who are neurodivergent. These children often require specialized parenting approaches tailored to their unique needs.
Parent coaching focuses on helping you better understand your child, strengthen your relationship, and build effective strategies that support your child’s growth and well-being. Equally important, I offer a space for you to explore your own feelings, challenges, and needs as a parent, so you feel supported as you support your child.

Frequently Asked Questions
My approach to parent coaching is grounded in the understanding that every child is unique and develops within the context of their relationships. I use an attachment-based framework that emphasizes building safe, trusting connections between parents and children as the foundation for healthy emotional and behavioral development.
I integrate principles of positive parenting to support clear, consistent boundaries while reinforcing strengths, skills, and desired behaviors rather than focusing on punishment. Cognitive-behavioral training is also incorporated to help parents understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and to teach practical strategies for supporting emotional regulation, problem-solving, and healthy coping skills in their children.
Mindfulness-based parenting is woven throughout my work, helping parents increase self-awareness, manage stress, and respond thoughtfully rather than reactively. Together, these approaches allow me to tailor coaching to each child’s temperament, developmental stage, and family dynamics, while empowering parents with practical tools that foster connection, resilience, and long-term emotional well-being.
I will guide you and equip you with practical tools to support your child. If your child needs therapeutic services, I can also assist you in accessing appropriate care.
