Parenting made positive.
I totally get it.
Parenting these days is tough.
If you feel like you’ve tried all the things— read the parenting books, listened to podcasts, joined parent groups—and you’re still at a loss, you’ve come to the right place.
And if you’ve got a kid with additional challenges or special needs (e.g., giftedness, neuro-diversity, social-emotional issues, etc.), well, then— give yourself a ton of extra grace.
Listen: You’re not a bad parent.
And your kid is not a bad kid.
It takes a lot of intentional work, patience, and yes—some parenting ninja skills— to successfully navigate your child from birth through adulthood.
And yep, it truly takes a village.
I’m here to help.
Parent Coaching & Education
Individual Parent Coaching
Private individual coaching is the best option when you have specific issues you want to address and would prefer not to be in a group setting (see below).
All sessions are virtual, via phone or Zoom.
Sessions typically last 30 or 60 minutes.
Email and text support between sessions.
Starter Packages begin at $1000
Group Parent Coaching
A creative option for parents who would like to get guidance in a supportive group with other parents, where you can learn from one another.
Group programs typically run 6-8 weeks and are conducted via Zoom.
If you and a group of friends would like to organize your own specialized program, contact me directly. I request that a minimum of four individual parents (or sets of parents) register for the group.
Pricing varies
Parenting Workshops
I offer online parenting workshops covering a variety of topics in my areas of interest and expertise.

HOW I COACH
My style of parent coaching is practical and positive, but I will gently challenge you if needed. Expect to learn clear, action-oriented techniques—based on research and my clinical experience—that you can use immediately.
learn more about my parent coaching process
Using my training in clinical, school, and educational psychology, and drawing upon insights from the fields of child and adult development, learning theory, and positive psychology, I work primarily with parents of adolescents and emerging/young adults, on development-appropriate issues and common parenting struggles.
I also support parents of gifted, bright, and highly sensitive children.
Parenting in the Struggle
I’m particularly skilled at helping parents who are dealing with more intensive parenting challenges including parenting a child struggling with severe depression, anxiety, or addiction (e.g., substances, gaming, internet/social media, food, sex, etc.), and can also help refer you to additional resources if necessary.
Parent coaching isn’t therapy.
It’s a way of helping you, the parent, obtain the knowledge, tools, and strategies to successfully navigate this challenging parenting season. Ultimately, my job is to help you achieve your parenting goals. And sometimes, you just need someone in your corner cheering you on!
My parent coaching focuses on two complementary areas:
helping you minimize problematic behaviors and dynamics, and
teaching you how to foster positive traits and behaviors (e.g., resilience, empathy, confidence, self-reliance, grit, etc.).
You (and/or your parenting partner) will come to me with your own set of unique values and goals.
But just know that my personal goal for you is to be a strong, confident parent who launches healthy, independent, resilient humans into the world.
