• "Parents don't come full bloom at the birth of their first baby. In fact, parenting is about growing. It's about our own growing as much as our children's growing, and that kind of growing happens little by little."

    Fred Rogers

Parent Coaching & Consultation

Parenting is a hard role! With so much information at our fingertips about what is considered “good parenting,” it can be hard to know how to best support our children. I work with parents of children of any age who are seeking guidance in this journey. I can help you understand what your child’s behavior might be telling you, and find a parenting approach that feels right for you.

As an Advanced Trainer of The Nurtured Heart Approach®, I work to support parents and caregivers in skillfully guiding and responding, rather than reacting, to their children in the midst of challenging situations. Likewise, I incorporate elements of Mindful Self-Compassion to help parents find their footing by using kindness and compassion with themselves, rather than shame - even when they feel as if they’ve “failed.” Because all children and families are unique and there is no one-size-fits-all parenting approach, I work hard to tailor my recommendations and find solutions that fit your family.

Common issues I address in parent coaching and consultations include:

  • Improving parent-child communication

  • Responding to your child’s challenging or confusing behaviors

  • Developing confidence and clarity around effective discipline

  • Cultivating self-compassion in parenthood

  • Strengthening your connection with your child
