Who I Serve:
I specialize in helping parents of children under 12 years of age discover ways to facilitate less sibling rivalry and create more sibling harmony between their children.
I am passionate about helping parents not only prepare themselves but also prepare older children for the arrival of a new baby. I believe that parental mindset is instrumental in building positive sibling relationships from the start and greatly influences the tone for their children's future relationship.
Through 1:1 coaching, group coaching, and parent education workshops, I help parents define and achieve their parenting goals and vision for their family with a simple 6-step path I call CREATE.

What is a Parent Coach?
As your coach, I will help you strategize effective tools to achieve desired parenting goals in a way that honors a healthy parent/child relationship. Parenting is a life-long commitment. What happens in the foundational stages with your child shapes your future relationship as well as the person your child becomes. As we collaborate, I will support you by helping you:
- Define your current parenting challenge
- Explore your desired vision for your role as a parent
- Understand your child's developmental stage so that your expectations are realistic
- Map out specific research-based approaches to facilitate the change you hope to attain
- Practice and implement strategies and ideas
We will create a plan and design steps that will help you feel better equipped to handle difficult situations with your child while maintaining and upholding the kindness and respect that your relationship deserves.
Why do you need a Parent Coach?
Parenting is hard work. You are raising a human from infancy into adulthood and most of us don’t receive training on handling the complicated and emotional challenges that comes along with that.
When we find ourselves in stressful situations with our child, we often revert to how we ourselves were parented, and sometimes, those reactions are not always the most appropriate ones.
Having a parent coach to support and help you navigate developmentally appropriate ways to deal with the concerns and challenges of raising your child helps you gain the confidence you need to become the parent you have always wanted to be. Together, we determine the guidelines that can help you create a day-to-day reality that most closely resembles your ideal vision for your interactions and relationship with your child.
