Parent Coaching

Do you need someone to help you develop customized strategies to address the challenges you face as you work to support your child?

I coach caregivers of kids with challenging behaviors, difficult temperaments, ADHD, learning disabilities, and autism. Together, we can develop a highly individualized plan of action that will help you restore your relationship with your kids while also coaching you through the process of helping your kids create a successful life for themselves.

To begin, schedule a private consultation or register for one of my workshops.

“Behavior is information, not an issue. Rather than treating the behavior, use it as a guide to how well a person is engaging with their dynamic environment.”
