Parent Coaching
You Don’t Recognize Yourself as a Parent Anymore
You’re worn out.
Exhausted, frustrated, on edge. Living in survival mode and not sure how you got here.
You don’t feel like you know your child anymore.
You don’t know how to help them.
And the only thing you feel like you do anymore is yell.
Maybe you never had a good example of what parenting was supposed to look like.
Maybe you’re watching yourself repeat patterns you swore you’d never repeat.
You’re frustrated with your child’s therapist. You get brief updates, no real suggestions, no action steps.
Just “yeah, raising a kid with mental health challenges is hard, good luck.”
Your Family Feels Like It’s Falling Apart
Your job is at risk because your child’s behaviors keep pulling you away from it.
The family you used to have feels out of reach. Home should feel like a respite, not another battlefield.
Real skills.
A real plan.
Something that actually works.
A therapist who works with you, not just someone to drop your kid off with.
Heard. Seen. Not just your child. You too. In charge of your family again. Not adrift.
You’re Not a Bad Parent. You’re a Parent Without a Map.
The situation you’re in doesn’t mean you failed.
It means no one handed you the right tools.
It means you’ve been doing your best inside a system that left you out.
That changes here.
Connection Before Correction: How I Work with You
I’ve worked with a lot of parents in exactly this situation.
Many have found their way back to connection, to confidence, to a family that functions.
My approach is grounded in TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention), built on one idea: connection before correction.
In practice, that means correcting behaviors without yelling, and shifting from blame to collaboration.
I’m also trained in attachment-based family therapy (ABFT), which helps parents to heal emotional ruptures to rebuild a secure connection with their child.
I Look at You as a Full Human Being, Not Just a Parent
That means we look at who you are, who your partner is, and what’s actually driving the friction.
Most of the time it comes down to this: you and your partner were raised differently, and now you’re parenting differently.
My job is to help you align so you’re working together, not against each other.
Good parenting starts with a solid foundation.
That means knowing how you want to parent, and giving yourself grace when you fall short of it.
You won’t always show up as your ideal self.
That’s not failure.
That’s parenting.
I’ll help you see that.
And I’ll point out every step forward along the way.
Home Becomes a Refuge. You Become the Parent You Wanted to Be.
You breathe a sigh of relief.
You’re not yelling anymore.
You know what to do. You know you can handle what comes.
Change happens without throwing off the whole system.
The principles and skills you learned are serving your family at every life stage.
You feel connected with your partner, with your child, with yourself.
You’re making decisions for your family with confidence.
Home is a refuge from the world.
You’re parenting how you wanted to all along.
You Aren’t Alone Anymore
You have a partner to figure this out with.
An outside observer who sees what you can’t.
A cheerleader and a guide through every phase. Parenting is lifelong, and each phase is unique to you and your child.
I help you discern what you’re both needing, what you’re inclined to do, and how to be effective.
