The Process

PARENT COACHING

 

Parent Coaching will help you:

  • Feel greater confidence as a parent. Resolve ongoing parenting challenges with kindness and firmness.

  • Gain insight into you emotions and how they can help you.

  • Increase connection with your partner and strengthen family relationships.

 

How Parent Coaching Works: My mission is to help parents who struggle with the challenge of raising today’s teens and young adults. Most parents experience times when they feel stuck, caught in a power struggle, or their teen sees them as the enemy.

  • Parent coaching is designed to take you step by step into becoming an effective parent who sees the bigger picture; who has the confidence to do what’s in your child’s best long-term interest; who communicates with love and respect especially in stressful times; and who teaches by example how to successfully to this thing called life.

  • We begin with a free, half-hour consultation to understand your greatest concerns and desires for your family. If we are a good fit for each other and you are ready to begin this life-changing work, great!

  • Our sessions may include: defining what you want to accomplish by troubleshooting behaviors as they occur learn and review new skills.
