Helping Families is my Passion
Family coaching with
a foundation of
experience and trust
My passion is to help parents and families reconnect, strengthen their relationships, and achieve mutual goals. I help families create and maintain the conditions in which relationships and individuals grow and thrive.
We are all working so hard right now to be there for our families, and yet it feels like the hits keep coming. We invest so much time, effort, and money into raising our kids to be happy, successful adults, but we begin to question ourselves as parents. We wonder when to push and when to let up and which “expert” is correct.
My job is to help you develop an intentional guidance system so that you can make confident choices and decisions for yourself and your children.
Coaching Creates a Family Culture of Connection
Healthy Internal Patterns
When you need help turning your insight into action, coaching is the key. If thoughts or feelings repeatedly undermine your progress towards your goals, I can help you understand the mental, somatic, and physiological components that contribute to these unhelpful patterns.
Proactive Strategies
Breaking unhealthy patterns in your thoughts and interactions with others can feel impossible on your own. As your coach, I’ll help you set actionable goals to establish new, healthy pathways and more satisfying interactions with others. I’ll provide you with ongoing feedback to adapt your new routines as needed.
Engage Effectively
As your coach, I’ll help you manage your emotions so your feelings no longer direct your interactions. Effective communication requires multiple skills, and when you find yourself interacting in problematic ways, I’ll help you figure out how you can improve. Coaching helps you differentiate between boundaries and rules so you can find freedom within all of your interpersonal relationships.
Everyone’s Needs Are Different:
When you work with me, each member of your family will get individually tailored attention with compassionate support and accountability. Insight gleaned through one-on-one sessions may be the right amount of support for your family. For others, you may desire more timely and directive support to help change thought-patterns and interactions that are derailing your progress.
We’ll create a package and plan that works for you. If you’re looking to fast-track your family’s growth, coaching interactions can include daily texts in addition to regular sessions,
Family Care
From an Experienced Therapist
Today’s landscape is rocky for adolescents and the people who love them. Demands on time and attention have never been greater and kids are inundated with information 24 hours a day through social media. The result is that people today are extremely perfectionistic and feel more pressured and isolated than any previous generation. We are over exposed and overstimulated, and at the same time, fear that any misstep could ruin our entire lives.
I work with individuals and families experiencing all types of issues including: burnout, anxiety, social atrophy, school or career confusion, failure to launch, substance use disorders, mental illness, neurodivergence, gender identity transitions, ADHD, and learning disabilities.
Adolescence is a time when the human brain is still developing the capacity to control emotions and work towards long-term goals. As your coach, I will help you understand the way brain functioning affects human interaction and performance and teach you how to self-regulate effectively so that you can show up for your family in the way you need.
