My Services
Parent Coaching
Young adults and teens alike often struggle to find a path to independence and autonomy. I believe that we all use the tools we have and do the best we can. To achieve better outcomes, we need better tools. As a parent, I know I can sometimes say the wrong thing or get stuck in my own patterns. As caretakers, we often have no idea where our patterns and beliefs might be hindering our intentions.
I will help you create the relationship you want with your child. I provide perspective and facilitate the tough conversations that families face as they support their loved ones struggling with unhealthy behaviors. Working side by side with parents, I assist them in making difficult decisions on how to support their children while also holding boundaries and maintaining connection.
Topics often covered with Parent Coaching:
- Recognizing what your child's actions are communicating
- Understanding Executive Functioning and Neurodivergent challenges
- Support in balancing boundaries and unconditional love
- Providing tools to engage with your child differently
- Reframing arguments into affective communication
- De-escalation techniques
- Moving past worry and judgement to assistance and support
- Exploring additional support options if needed
Therapeutic Mentoring and Recovery Coaching
As human beings (and especially as a young adult), we will all make mistakes! What matters is how we respond and how we show up to the next challenge. I believe that coaching is a process of self-discovery, and I am committed to providing a supportive and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their inner selves and their actions in the world. Life throws many surprises at us, and while we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, we can learn to react differently and take control of how we respond.
Through individual mentoring and coaching sessions, I'll help you commit to and accomplish your goals and move past the obstacles in your path forward. I work with emerging adults to identify the blocks that are getting in the way and find the tools they can use to remove them. Whether the struggle is with navigating the challenges of becoming an adult, finding that first foothold to make a big step forward, or just the weekly grind of figuring out how one fits into this world, mentoring can help you move forward and make the changes you want in your life!
