Individuals

The assistance of a skilled and caring life coach and therapist can have many benefits. While these benefits vary from person to person, just beginning the process of getting help can ease some of the isolation we all feel when confronted with difficulties in our lives. Therapeutic Life Coaching helps people who are seeking assistance for anxiety, depression, need help coping with the stress and hardship of everyday life, may feel stuck in their goals, or have an interest in personal growth.

Parenting

I have discovered that being a parent is one of the most fulfilling yet scariest and most frustrating things we can experience. When I became a parent for the first time, I had been in the family and parenting field for at least ten years. I was surprised to realize that nothing I learned in school became useful when my emotions were so fragile due to my desire to “parent the right way.”

The most effective secret ingredient for parenting is developing a deep connection with our children, so that we address the feelings that drive a child’s behavior instead of punishing. When we tackle the “reason” for the behavior it automatically changes.

Authentic connection is the most powerful tool you need in the parent child relationship. In coaching parents I focus on how to build an authentic connection so that their relationship with their children can thrive.  I don’t focus on discipline techniques but rather self-awareness for the parent.  Children thrive when they feel seen and understood.  I teach parents how to understand themselves first and how tackling their own fears about parenting and understanding themselves can turn into a magic-wand  to create a more peaceful and successful family environment.
