Parenting Support,
Coaching & Consultation

Working together to navigate the challenges of parenting

We know that every child is different, and they don’t come with individual instruction manuals.  Parent coaching provides parents and caregivers with concrete support, practical skills, and effective strategies for addressing behavior, supporting development, and strengthening the parent-child relationship.  I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I tailor parent coaching services to reflect your family’s values and goals.  Through parenting support and coaching, my goal is to increase parents’ feelings of confidence and competence caring for infants and children of all ages. 

As a developmental specialist, I provide parents with guidance, consultation, and coaching for a range of developmental delays, neurodevelopmental and neurobehavioral disorders, including Autism Spectrum Disorders, Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), ADHD, and Sensory Processing Disorders.  I am able to support parents and families through the Early Intervention and Child Find processes in Colorado, and CPSE and CSE processes in New York.  This includes, but is not limited to, participating in IEP and IFSP meetings, coordinating with school counselors and collateral therapists, and reviewing developmental evaluations and service recommendations.
