Parent Coaching
Parenting is one of the toughest jobs in the world, and it is even more challenging when you are parenting a child with ADHD and lagging executive function skills . In many cases you yourself may have some of the same challenges, making it challenging to support your child. In other cases you may not, and maybe it is really hard to understand how your child’s brain is wired. Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone there to support you on your journey?
As your ADHD Parenting Coach, I help you understand ADHD and how your child’s unique brain works. You learn how your child experiences and reacts to the world, and together we create a path forward that highlight and utilize your child’s strengths.
We’ll identify the needs your child has at school and how ADHD may be impacting your family.
“The right support is like sunlight to a plant. When you give your child the tools, compassion, and guidance they need,
they’ll grow in ways you never imagined."

Teen & FAMILY COACHING
Supporting teens with ADHD works best when the entire family is involved. This creates a shared understanding of what ADHD is, how it impacts everyone in the family, and how to integrate this understanding into your family life.
We will work with you and your teen to better understand ADHD & how their brain works. We will identify and highlight their strengths, create self-awareness, learn how to set & achieve goals, and build both social and executive function skills that give them the confidence they desire both at school and with their peers.
While teens benefit from individual coaching, a big portion of teen and family coaching is parent education, involvement, and support. Parents need strategies and information to effectively support their ADHD teens between sessions. For this reason, there are a variety of ways parents can be integrated into coaching.
In many cases, the challenges of ADHD can strain the parent-teen relationship. This relationship is at the forefront of coaching and crucial to its success! We will work together to reduce the chaos and increase connection throughout the family!
