Coaching

Our 1-hour coaching sessions are designed to meet the unique needs of your family. Whether you're parenting as a couple, a single parent, a caregiver, grandparent, foster parent, or part of a 2SLGBTQIA+ family, we provide personalized support to help you navigate the complexities of family life with greater confidence, connection, and compassion.

 

We specialize in supporting families raising neurodivergent children and teens, including those with ADHD, autism, PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance), giftedness, anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, executive functioning differences, and school-related stress. We also provide affirming support for gender-expansive, gender-diverse, gender-creative, transgender, and nonbinary youth and their families.

Our approach is neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, attachment-based, and family-centered. We believe that behavior is communication and that strong relationships are the foundation for growth, resilience, and well-being.

 

Our Approach: Connected Parenting™ – The CALM Method

Our coaching focuses on identifying and building upon the strengths that already exist within your family. Through the Connected Parenting™ CALM Method and attachment-based practices, we help parents better understand their child's nervous system, strengthen emotional connections, and develop practical strategies that foster cooperation, trust, and mutual respect.

 

The CALM Method emphasizes:

• Connect before correcting

• Affect through attunement, matching, and mirroring

• Listen with curiosity and compassion

• Mirror Back to increase understanding, emotional safety, and connection

Drawing from attachment theory, interpersonal psychoneurobiology, and nervous system-informed practices, we help families move away from power struggles and toward greater co-regulation, collaboration, and emotional well-being.
