What We Do 
We empower parents to find easy, long-lasting, and impactful solutions to troubles you're having with your neurodivergent children.

As a highly trained and experienced parent coach, I coach parents who continually struggle with disruptive children. I coach parents who's children have autism, sensory processing disorders, and ADHD. I help you navigate your parenting challenges to get in touch with your core values so that you can be a better parent by providing 1-on-1 parent coaching, group parent coaching, or workshops and seminars for organizations. 

Parents and I work together to build a happier, more peaceful home.  I help them create strong connections with their children, and deepen mutual respect by using laughter as a tool. 


I offer a few standard parent coaching packages, of which the 12-week program is the most popular and impactful. My standard packages can be completed either in-person, or remotely.


However, not every parent has the same needs or wants. Contact me to determine if a custom package is best for you. I also provide special support for parents who have court mandated parent coaching.

You are not alone. There are a lot of parents seeking ways to be better for their children, just like you. I facilitate group parent coaching sessions, which can be a great way to learn, collaborate, and save money at the same time.

I offer workshops and seminars at schools and other organizations to educate parents about early detection of autism. 

This Is For You If  You are struggling with your child's behavior. 

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?


  • Do constant angry outbursts leave you and your child feeling exhausted to the point that you just feel like giving up, and you’d just like to find a peaceful way to manage the behavior?
  • Do you feel like you’ve tried everything from empathizing, to meeting them where they’re at, to anger, and nothing seems to work?
  • Are you tired of feeling guilty every day about the lack of connection that you once had with your child and you’d like to get that back without feeling like they’ll walk all over you?
  • Are you no longer available for the struggle at nap time and bed time and you need a technique that will work every time?

I'm So Glad You Are Here!  You have come to the right place. 

Relief Is On The Way


  • You’re ready to have a day filled with laughter rather than angry outbursts.
  • You’re excited to finally have solutions that work every time!
  • You’re relieved that transitions are no longer a struggle; ie: bed-time, getting out the door, doing homework.
  • You finally feel like you have a lasting connection with your child.


Welcome!  Your struggle stops here. 

Happy Days Are Just Ahead!


Wouldn’t it be great if you could laugh every day with your kids again; to start seeing the humor in who they are and the little funny things that they do? You may not be in this place yet, and I get it! I was once there too! But it's possible! 

Once we start working together you’ll begin to see the silly and sometimes downright funny things that your kids do! You’ll begin to enjoy who they are again and every day won’t seem like a struggle! 

Whether it’s screen time struggle, or you are constantly frustrated with your children not listening to you, or meltdowns happen on a daily basis - sometimes multiple times a day, or the talking back has gotten out of hand, we can work together to come up with a unique solution that works for you and your family!

It’s entirely possible to enjoy your child again, for everyone to be feeling rested, and for you to no longer be feeling overwhelmed and guilty!
