I am so glad I decided to seek your help! It is so helpful to spend time discussing my daughter’s behavior with someone who is not only a professional but also seems to genuinely care about both my daughter and I. The new ideas/perspective I get from you are things I would never think of myself. I have noticed positive changes in my daughter in only a few weeks!”

Why Choose Parent Coaching?

A peaceful home is possible.

You don’t have to hope that “someday” things will magically improve on their own or panic that you’ve waited too long. If you’re ready to do the work, you can start heading in a new direction today. Respectful parenting strategies build strong relationships with your kids and help you respond with confidence - even when things are challenging.

Discover the blind spots in your parenting goals.

If you knew how to create change in your family, you would do it! Even if you’ve read tons of parenting books and tried every suggestion, sometimes it takes a personal connection to help you identify your triggers, work through the options, and make your parenting hopes and dreams a reality.

Receive professional support and encouragement from someone who’s been there.

I am a mom to 3 kids, so I know chaos. I also know how it feels to parent through aggression, anxiety, sibling rivalry, and meltdowns. Like you, I love my kids fiercely, but also experience times of frustration, confusion, isolation, and worry. We are all imperfect parents!

I’m also a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Since 2004, I’ve helped hundreds of children, teens, and parents around the world manage mental health concerns, improve communication, and find positive, respectful solutions to the ups and downs of living in a family. My background in mental health helps me put your child's behavior in context, identifying "typical" stages of development vs. behavior that may be a sign of a more complex issue.

You are great at helping *me* figure out the best answer. Also, you come across as kind and approachable, and then you can get very serious and knowledgeable about your work. This is fantastic because it puts adult and kids and families at ease, and then it’s also awesome because you really know your stuff.”

When I first reached out to Nicole it was at a time when I thought, “This can’t hurt and I’ll just try a session.” I had no idea how much talking with her would help! She’s like your mom-friend who gets exactly what you’re dealing with, but her advice is MUCH better! There has been a cohesive theme to her suggestions, all of which help me to see the situation from another view point and I am becoming the voice of calm and reason I aspire to as a parent. I have never felt judged. And I’ve often been surprised by the insight she is able project about my family, having only our conversations, occasional emails, and my perspective to go on.”
