A question I’ve always asked myself is how I can integrate two worlds that I love so much: child development and counseling. As my career has evolved, and especially since becoming a parent myself, my desire to come alongside parents and equip them with scientifically sound, connection-focused, and brain-based parenting tools has grown. I uniquely combine all that I’ve learned from the fields of early childhood education, developmental psychology, play therapy, attachment science, and Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), and equip parents with practical tools with the ultimate goal of strengthening the connection between you and your children.

Wondering if parent coaching is for you? If you answer “yes!” to some of these questions, parent coaching might be for you!

• Are you tired of trying to navigate all the noise and overwhelm on social media (I mean, the parenting reels are plentiful, aren’t they)?

• Do you want to learn more about your child's developing brain and what’s going on underneath the surface of big behaviors?

• Maybe you’ve heard buzzwords like “co-regulation,” “nervous system regulation,” and “attunement,” and you’re thinking, how do I actually do these things?

• Do you want practical ways you can create a home environment that combines both high structure and high nurture?

• Are you wondering how to set and hold age-appropriate boundaries and limits without using bribes, empty threats, punishments, and power struggles?

• Do you wonder what it looks like - practically - to repair after a rupture and come back into connection after conflict?

• Do you want to learn why it’s important to connect before we correct a child’s behavior?

• Are you interested in learning more about time-ins, reflective listening, and logical consequences?

• Do you want tools to deal with what’s coming up for you in your parenting journey (because yes, our children are mirrors to what is unhealed inside of us) when your child is having a major meltdown and you’re feeling triggered?

• Do you want to learn practical ways to regulate your nervous system during major meltdowns and tantrums so that you can remain steady, sturdy, and values-driven?
