Parent Coaching is for You!

Exceptional parents know it can take a lot to parent these kids.

You want to be an exceptional parent, but life has thrown you a curveball that overwhelms your instincts and know-how. That’s okay! You just need the right tools. I support families in three unique ways:

Coaching • Navigating • Guiding

Which one is right for you?

Neurodivergent Care Navigation ~ Helping parents figure out what supports to put in place and helping them navigate medical, educational, and community-based systems to access those supports.

Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) ~ Coaching parents of kids with social communication challenges and autism to teach their kids the skills that make relationships (and life!) work.

Parent Coaching ~ Working with parents to brainstorm challenging situations and behavioral issues so they can put effective supports in place and teach their kids essential skills.

Let's Get Started!
