No caregiver is 100% sure they’re doing it right 100% of the time.

(Isn’t it a relief just to hear that?)

Enlisting outside support with parenting and caregiving doesn’t mean you’re “not doing it right” — it means you’re doing everything possible to give your children a fulfilling life.

Parent Coaching

Foster and adoptive parents need ongoing and adaptable support to help kids cope with trauma, build healthy relationships, and succeed in school — and the current foster system simply doesn’t provide that.

focus areas for training & coaching

• Collaborating with schools to support kids between the home and the classroom

• Working through power struggles

• Making sense of school reports/evaluations and preparing for school meetings

• Navigating doctor’s appointments, government agencies, therapy, and more

• Making sense of school reports and preparing for school meetings

• Promoting healthy social, emotional, behavioral, and academic development

• Handling family crises, safety issues, and red flags

• Whatever you and your child(ren) most need to thrive

the procesS

• We’ll get to know each other and talk about your goals and concerns — and I’ll ask a lot of questions!

• Together, we develop workable strategies based on your needs, lifestyle, and resources.

• You test out the tools we’ve developed in real life, keeping in mind that this process takes time and ongoing adaptation.

• We regroup, discuss, make adjustments to the plan, and keep adapting as your child(ren) and family changes.

Basic guidelines

• This work takes time. I require a minimum of 3 sessions so I can help you move toward lasting change.

• There is no ONE answer or single magic solution; I ask that you keep an open mind and engage with curiosity and self-compassion as we discover what works for you and your family.

• It’s a process: We talk, you test, we refine.
