Parenting is HARD. We need all the help we can get.
Parent coaching is a personalized change process that takes place within a co-constructive relationship between parent and coach, using the parent’s current strengths and resources to develop positive growth. A parent coach helps a parent determine what dreams and priorities she has for her family, and then helps construct practical action steps to move toward what she wants.
Coaching is not a quick fix; it’s not pat answers, one size fits all. It is personalized for each unique parent, for each one-of-a-kind family. While a parent coach may offer relevant information and expertise, coaching is a process that requires commitment and whole-hearted participation by both parent and coach.
Coaching usually takes place over the course of 8 to 12 weeks, via weekly, hour-long phone or Zoom call, or in person if located in the Tulsa, OK area.

The key to individual coaching is that it is personalized. So, while there are best practices, we can always adjust the schedule and plan to meet your needs. We’ll begin with a free 30-minute consultation to learn more about what brings you to coaching, and I’ll explain the coaching process. Once we determine that we’re a good fit, I’ll send an intake form for you to fill out and return before our first session. Our coaching journey involves diving into your parenting challenges and exploring your situation, finding the good present in your family system as well as yourself, determining what your dream is for your family, and then finding practical ways to move toward that. All the while, I offer empathy, clarity, encouragement, insight and accountability.
