Coaching is focused on where you are now and where you want to go. We’ll look at patterns, challenges, relationships, goals, and practical ways to create change in your everyday life.

Coaching is not therapy, and I don’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions. If I feel that therapy or another type of professional support would be more appropriate, I’ll talk with you about that and help you think through next steps.

You bring what’s happening in your real life. Whether that’s a recurring power struggle, communication issues, screens, school, ADHD, boundaries, anxiety, or simply feeling like you have no idea what to do anymore.

We’ll slow things down, look beneath the behavior, explore your patterns and triggers, and identify practical ways to respond differently. You’ll leave with concrete ideas you can actually try.

Yes. Parent coaching sessions are confidential. This is a space where you can be completely honest about what’s happening at home, without judgment.

You don’t have to have it all together, and you don’t have to worry about being judged as a parent. We can talk openly about the hard stuff, including the moments you’re not particularly proud of, so we can understand what’s underneath the struggle and find a way forward.

There are a few legal exceptions to confidentiality, such as concerns about abuse or imminent risk of harm. I’ll always handle these situations with care and transparency whenever possible.

You bring whatever is happening in your real life.

Maybe you’re dealing with friendship drama, school stress, anxiety, family conflict, feeling overwhelmed, procrastination, motivation, ADHD, confidence, identity, or just feeling like you don’t really know what’s going on with you right now.

Together, we’ll figure out what you need, what’s getting in your way, and what you want to do next. You’ll leave with practical ideas, tools, and a little more clarity about how to handle whatever life is throwing at you.

No judgment. No lectures. Just a space to be yourself and figure things out.

Yes. What you share in coaching is private and treated with respect. Teens deserve a space where they can speak openly without worrying that everything they say will be immediately shared with their parents.

I’ll encourage teens to communicate directly with their parents when something is important to the family relationship, while respecting their privacy within the coaching relationship.

There are a few important exceptions: if I’m concerned that a teen may hurt themselves or someone else, or if there is suspected abuse or another situation that legally requires reporting, I may need to involve a parent or appropriate professional. If that happens, I’ll be as transparent as possible with the teen about what needs to be shared and why.

Yes. I have extensive experience working with young people with ADHD, learning differences, neurodivergence, and challenging behaviors.

Coaching can focus on practical strategies for executive functioning, organization, communication, motivation, self-advocacy, school, relationships, and understanding how their particular brain works.

The goal isn't to make a neurodivergent teen act more “typical.” It’s to help them understand themselves and develop strategies that work for their brain.

That depends on what you need.

Some people benefit from weekly sessions, particularly when they’re working through an immediate challenge. Others prefer every other week or occasional sessions for support, perspective, and accountability.

We can figure out a rhythm that makes sense for you.

Yes, when it feels helpful.

Most coaching is individual, because both parents and teens need space to be honest. But there are times when bringing everyone together can help repair communication, work through a specific conflict, or practice a different way of relating.

I work with teens and tweens between the ages of 11 & 18.

I will also work with parents of younger children, but not with the children directly.

No.

You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from coaching. Sometimes you simply want to be more intentional about how you parent, strengthen your relationship with your child, or feel more confident navigating the next stage.

You don't have to wait until things fall apart to ask for support.
