Parent Coaching

While one of life’s most rewarding experiences, parenting is difficult, sometimes really difficult.  We love our children unconditionally, but their difficult behaviors can fill us with irritability, frustration, and resentment. Navigating challenges and parenting effectively can often take a team approach. I thrive on working with parents and providing tools that you can employ in your day-to-day life.

​

My parent coaching sessions are structured, goal-oriented, and focused. My approach is collaborative and realistic. Our sessions will provide you with psychoeducation, support, evidence-based tools, and specific strategies. Once integrated into your parenting approach, these resources will allow you to be successful in continuing to meet your child’s needs and solve problems on your own.

Research shows that positive relationships with parents or caregivers are the greatest predictors of healthy child development.

While we all want to create loving and supportive relationships with our children, life is usually not that simple. Days are long and children have many needs. As a society, we are often exhausted, burnt out, overstimulated, and under-resourced. Unfortunately, these factors affect what we care about most: the relationship with our children.

The good news is that we do not have to go through this alone. I help parents with a range of issues including, but not limited to:

When a child is struggling, caregivers play the integral role of finding solutions. In fact, some children do not need to be seen by a therapist to improve their behaviors. Rather, finding ways for parents to effectively respond to their child’s emotions and behaviors can be the key to long-term resolutions and healthy child development.

  • Parenting children facing emotional or behavioral dysregulation issues 

  • Helping and responding effectively to children who struggle with anxiety 

  • Managing conflict around bedtime, privileges, or household responsibilities 

  • Addressing issues with homework and other school avoidance behaviors

  • Navigating disagreements around social media and cell phone use 

  • Decreasing power struggles and helping children better respond to limits and boundaries

  • Helping caregiving partners develop a cohesive and agreed upon approach to parenting and discipline
