There is no shortage of parenting advice out there.

Books, courses, podcasts, social media — if anything, there is too much of it. The problem is that most of it is generic, none of it knows your child, and when something goes sideways there is nobody there to help you troubleshoot. You are left trying to figure out which advice applies to your situation, why it is not working the way it was supposed to, and what to do when your kid does the thing the book never mentioned.

That is the gap I fill. Specific, individualized support built around your child and your family, with someone actually in your corner while you work through it.

Early Childhood Behavior Coaching

Ages 1-5

The toddler and preschool years are some of the most fascinating and rewarding periods of childhood development. In fact, in over twenty years of caring for children, ages 1-5 are my absolute favorite!

For a majority of people, however, it is a period marked by confusion, conflict, frustration, and sometimes, just total chaos. Your little one can suddenly have full, thought out conversations. They are discovering so much about themselves and the world around them. For the first time, you have what feels like actual big-kid, or sometimes even grown up, communication.

So why then, do they spiral into complete tantrums over very simple things you have explained to them and they seemingly understood? Why do they have meltdowns over something they asked for two seconds ago? Why does everything have to be a battle involving big emotions, tears, and sometimes even worse? Why does bedtime take two hours of endless questions, and hugs, and more questions, and kissing every stuffy, and water breaks, and even more questions?

That’s why I’m here! Toddlerhood can be so confusing and exhausting to navigate. I am here to help simplify it all and help you turn that chaos into a happy, well regulated, and far less stressful relationship with your child.

You will come away from this with incredible understanding of your child and how to handle anything they can throw at you, handle those big emotions, avoid tantrums and meltdowns, and finally be able to put them to bed in a consistent and reasonable amount of time.

School Age Behavior Coaching

Ages 6-10

A lot of parents assume that once the toddler years are behind them, the hard part is over. And in some ways it is. But ages six through ten have a way of bringing a whole new set of challenges that nobody really warned you about.

If your child can have a full conversation, understand exactly what you are asking, and still completely shut down, refuse to cooperate, or fall apart over things that feel like they should not be a big deal anymore, you are probably wondering where you went wrong and what to do next. The tantrums just look different now. Sometimes it is defiance and fights with their siblings. Sometimes it is silence. Sometimes it is tears over homework at 8pm when everyone is exhausted and nobody quite knows how you got here.

The same things that drive toddler behavior are still at the root of what is happening at this age. The approach just has to grow with them.
