frequently asked questions
1. what is parent coaching, exactly? parent coaching is a brave space where vulnerability and compassion are prioritized. we look beneath behaviors and reactions of you and your child, figure out where they are coming from, and how to ensure they align with your values. not only do we work to understand them in this deep and transformative way, we practice the tools to move through them, so you can embody and access change like never before. here's the thing. I KNOW you have so much to offer your kids. my goal is just to help you embody it.
2. what philosophies and scientific principles guide your work? - attachment science (our attachments to our caregivers, ourselves, our children). - nervous system science (self- and co-regulation; understanding and navigating our physical body reactions--yes, you have control of this) - non-violent communication (actually understanding what one another is feeling and needing) - child development - brain science and mindsight - emotional intelligence and connection (humans are fundamentally wired to connect)
3. what is parent coaching NOT? parent coaching is not medical advice, does not establish a doctor-patient relationship, and is not therapy. parent coaching is separate from medical care. I do not diagnose, prescribe, or provide medical treatment in this aspace. coaching is educational, reflective, and support-focused. this IS deep, integrative work. if you feel like you might need it, please ensure you have mental health support before starting coaching, or at any time during the process where you feel like you need support. you are ultimately responsible for seeking the support you need and reaching out for crisis support if ever needed. if concerns arise, I may encourage you to connect with an appropriate healthcare professional. we are also not going to be "fixing" your child or developing behavior plans for your child. this work is parent-centric. I lead you to illuminate your inner strength, which allows you to lead your kids authentically and meaningfully.
4. who is parent coaching for? anyone who wants to: - understand behavior more deeply. - parent differently than they were parented. - feel less overwhelmed, reactive, burnt out, disconnected, or stuck. - value connection, growth, emotional intelligence, and repair. - want support without shame or judgment. you don't need to "have it together" (or pretend to), to be here!
5. what kinds of things can we work on? - emotional regulation + meltdowns - conflict and power struggles - attachment + connection - communication challenges - boundaries + limits - sibling dynamics - nervous system overwhelm - parenting after difficult childhood experiences - understanding developmental expectations - repairing after rupture - building a calmer, more connected home dynamic we may start with curiosity regarding your child's behavior. sometimes we discover the "doorway" is acually stress, burnout, grief, or survival patterns living quiety in the background. usually it's all connected.
6. what is "the doorway"? our first session together. it's a meaninful, low-pressure conversation where we explore what brings you here, what patterns feel hardest right now, what suppor you're looking for, and whether we feel like a good fit. no performance. no report card. just a brave starting point.
7. will this "fix" my child? no way! children are not problems to fix. the goal is not control, perfection or obedience. the goal is humaning: developing a deeper understanding, healthier connection, emotional and relational safety, and more effective ways of navigating ALL the moments together.
8. what if I feel nervous or vulnerable? PERFECT! that's the goal. honestly, this work is inherently vulnerable (and it works best that way), as we're often touching on patterns that like to run unquestioned behind the scenes. I am also aware that many parents arrive here carrying so many burdens that aren't their's (shame, doubt, exhaustion, fear). so, this space is designed to move away from judgment and toward curiosity, understanding, repair, and growth. and even with that said, it can STILL be really hard to show up. but I promise it's worth it.
