Coaching can support a wide range of parenting experiences, including overwhelm, identity shifts, burnout, boundary-setting, communication struggles, co-parenting challenges, reparenting yourself, or navigating big emotions (yours or your child’s).

Not at all. I work with parents of all ages and stages, from pregnancy and early parenthood through the teen years and even adult children. And specifically with those of high needs, neurodivergent, and other challenging gifts children give us to experience. Every phase brings new questions, emotions, and growth opportunities.

Yes. Many parents come to coaching wanting to be more patient, present, or responsive but often find themselves stuck in old patterns or feeling reactive. We’ll explore your patterns and beliefs with curiosity, not shame, and develop tools to help you respond in ways that are more aligned with how you want to show up.

That’s a challenging and often lonely place to be. Coaching can help you get clear on your own values, build self-trust, and navigate the complexities of breaking generational cycles while also discovering and honoring your own aligned ways of parenting.

Yes. I offer affirming, nonjudgmental support for parents navigating identity, neurodiversity, or parenting paths that fall outside mainstream norms. Parenting isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about simply showing up and having a willingness to be open and curious to your child’s specific needs.

There’s no specific handbook for your unique child or your unique self. You don’t have to go it alone. Coaching offers a space where your needs matter too, and where being honest about your struggles is met with compassion, not criticism.

Absolutely not. I don’t offer one-size-fits-all advice or rigid parenting models. Instead, we’ll work together to uncover what feels right for you and is aligned with your values, your family’s needs, and your child’s unique nature.

No. Coaching is different from therapy. It’s not about diagnosing or treating mental health conditions or working with the family dynamic together. Instead, it’s an individual focused space to personally reflect, grow, and create change within yourself. If deeper therapeutic support is needed, I can help you find appropriate referrals.

 Absolutely. Parenting doesn’t happen in a vacuum. We can explore identity, relationships, work-life balance, inner child work, or anything else that affects how you show up for yourself and your kids.

 Loss comes in many forms. I support people grieving death, the end of relationships, divorce, life chapters, identities, belief systems, or roles they once held dear. Whether your loss is visible or invisible, this space honors its impact and helps you move through it with understanding and compassion.

 Coaching isn't a substitute for therapy, especially in the early stages of acute grief or if you're navigating trauma. But coaching can be a powerful complement when you're ready to explore what healing, integration, or reorientation might look like, especially if you're feeling stuck or unsure how to move forward.

 It's okay to not feel "ready." You don’t need to have it all processed or understood. Coaching can offer a gentle, grounded space to begin naming what’s shifting, feeling what needs to be felt, and taking small, meaningful steps without rushing your process.

Yes. Letting go isn’t a one-time decision, it’s a layered, complicated process. Whether you're grieving what was, what never was, or what could have been, we’ll explore what it means to release without erasing or forgetting, and to move forward while honoring and holding appropriate space for what mattered.

That’s a valid and common concern. Sometimes loss is quiet, confusing, or hard to name. Coaching helps you slow down, tune inward, connect with your intuition and begin making sense of what’s happening and what you’re experiencing even and especially when words are hard to find and feelings are hard to explain and express.

Not in the quick-fix way our culture sometimes promises. Grief and change aren’t problems to solve, but experiences to move through. Coaching can help you live with more clarity, remain grounded, and be open to possibility even while carrying what you've lost.

You'll be met with presence, unconditional acceptance, and gentle challenge when needed. We'll focus on what matters most to you, and work at a pace that honors your capacity and journey. This is a space for healing, reimagining, and reconnecting with yourself, your values, and what comes next.

Religious deconstruction is the process of questioning, rethinking, or letting go of beliefs, teachings, or systems you once followed and often are then in search of a more authentic, grounded sense of self and spirituality (or none at all). Yes, I fully support and honor this journey. This space is affirming, nonjudgmental, and centered around your growth, not dogma.

Completely. You don’t need to know to begin, you just need curiosity and an openness and willingness to explore. This work isn’t about having all the answers, but about creating space to ask deeper questions, reconnect with your inner knowing, and move through the uncertainty with support.

Yes. Many people experience grief, disorientation, or even isolation as part of leaving or reshaping their beliefs. Coaching offers a compassionate space to honor what you’ve lost, explore what’s shifting, and begin building a life that aligns with your evolving truth.

That’s welcome here. This isn’t about pushing you away from religion, it’s about helping you find your own voice and values, wherever that leads. You can bring your doubts, your faith, your questions, and your hope. It’s all part of the process.

 No. This is a spiritually inclusive, client-centered space. I don’t promote any specific belief system. My role is to support your process, whether you're reconstructing something new, leaving religion entirely, or exploring spirituality on your own terms.

Yes, absolutely. While coaching is not a substitute for therapy, we can explore how old beliefs, fear-based teachings, or internalized shame might still be affecting your choices, relationships, or self-worth and how to begin releasing what no longer serves you.

 That’s a common part of this type of path and you're not alone in feeling it. Coaching can help you meet those fears with compassion and curiosity, rebuild trust in your own voice, and learn to live in alignment with your deepest values, even when certainty isn’t present.
