Parenting a child with ADHD can feel overwhelming. Traditional parenting methods don’t seem to work and it’s hard to know where to find support that is right for your family.
If you are feeling exhausted because you are constantly yelling, nagging, and negotiating, then it is time for a new approach to parenting your ADHD child
Whether your child has been recently diagnosed or your family has been trying to manage these challenges for years, together we can find support that is the right fit for your family.
Imagine your family:
- creating connection instead of chaos
- collaboratively problem-solving instead of fighting
- finding more time to enjoy life through the use of effective routines and structures
- living a happy life with a bright future
Through the ADHD Parent Coaching program, you will acquire the skills to:
- understand your child’s unique brain so you can create realistic expectations that set them up for success as they work toward independence
- shift your parenting mindset so you can feel confident in parenting your complex kid
- find strategies that work for you and your child through collaboration and trust
- manage stress and regulate emotions

How do I know if Parent Coaching is right for my family?
Often, parents begin working with an ADHD parent coach when the traditional methods of parenting have failed. They have found that the strategies from parenting books and well-intended advice from family and friends are not the right approach for their complex kid.
Wherever you are on your journey of parenting a child with ADHD, parent coaching can help.
Can we do more than six sessions?
After the initial six-week program, families have the opportunity to continue with individual coaching sessions. This is an opportunity to receive ongoing support as you implement these new systems and strategies.
Do you work with my child?
Parents usually come to me when the family is stressed and feels stuck in a negative cycle with their child. When the family dynamics are strained, the child is often resistant to change. That is why I generally work exclusively with parents. Helping parents see their child’s struggles from a brain-based lens while creating connections and developing better communication skills positive changes begin to occur in the home. When this happens, families can move forward and create effective change together.
What can parents do to get the most out of their parent coaching experience?
ADHD coaching is a safe space for parents to talk about their struggles, experiment with strategies, and learn more about themselves and their child. To get the most out of parent coaching, parents need to show up with a sense of curiosity, open-mindedness, and a willingness to step out of their comfort zone as they dig deeper to uncover unhelpful parenting patterns and develop new skills and mindsets that foster change.
