Caregivers, parents, couples, families, and professionals benefit from the opportunity to identify and strengthen specific skills with support. This includes:

Promoting more effective caregiving practices, improving parenting, coparenting, and parallel parenting, as well as communication skills within the family, interpersonal issues, and grief.

It is expected to operate alone as a short-term intervention or as an adjunct to collateral or ongoing therapy. It is a mutually beneficial relationship in which the coach partners with you in a collaboration that exchanges knowledge and information.  Coaching is a partnership between the coach and you. Support is offered in a variety of ways including face-to-face via zoom, phone meetings and ongoing support services between scheduled sessions.

My aim is to offer communication strategies, safety, education around family life issues, and encouraging a better quality of life.  I coach participants on changing the inner dialog, catching themselves and exchanging the language for positive terms.  For example, instead of, “I made another mistake! I can’t believe I did that!” I remind, “Another learning opportunity!  Refining my skills.”

In divorce matters, the goal is to improve communication between parents, facilitate custody discussions, and address concerns that parents may have regarding their children. 

With managing loved ones with brain diseases, the goal is to realign the family so it is better balanced.  If the family is only focused on one person, then whatever is going on with that family is not okay.  I want to guide families to a place where everyone in the family can get their needs met.
