What makes me unique as a parent coach?  And maybe the perfect coach FOR YOU?


If you work in medicine, I 100% get you.  I understand your culture, your language, your lifestyle, your background and your training.  I understand all the stressors you feel every day.  I understand you are juggling a ton of things, including a busy schedule and many responsibilities.  I get it.  And I don’t think you are weird, a freak, or some demi-god.  I get it, because I’m a practicing physician.  Let’s work together. 


If you are a professional mom, I also know what it’s like to be kind of a freaking bad-ass at work with the answers, but then struggle with no one listening to or cooperating with you at home.  No judgement—I’ve lived that too.  Let’s work together. 


Are you divorced, divorcing, or in an unhappy marriage?  I’ve been there!  I’ve had full custody, and now shared custody.  100% no judgement here.  You are not a failure.  You are a survivor.  You are building something better on the other side.  Nothing you tell me is going to shock me.  I promise.  Let’s work together. 


If you have social anxiety, if you have great social skills but you still get super self-judgy and self-critical and tell yourself stories about how you are inadequate socially—you are my people.  I get it, I understand.  You are also not broken.  You are a beautiful orchid with a gorgeous bloom, you’re just a little more finicky than a dandelion perhaps.  Let’s work together. 


If you are dealing with a parental alienation situation where a child has been turned against you during a divorce, I also understand you.  My dearest boyfriend struggled with this, and I know this happens to some of the most wonderful parents.   Now I coach parents going through this as well.  We are all imperfect parents, AND, we all deserve to have open relationships with our children.  Let’s work together. 


If you carry pain from your childhood, I also get you.  You are not broken.  You are a survivor.  I will not judge you.  I know exactly what this feels like, and the pain you carry forward into all your future relationships left over from childhood.  No judgement here.  Let’s work together.
