“If only my child had come with an instruction manual!” That’s a thought that most parents have had at some point in their lives.

Nothing really prepares you to become a parent. Some of us were lucky enough to have parents that set a good example. But others grew up in homes where the dynamic between child and parent was anything but functional or consistently loving.

But the truth is, even if you did have loving parents that did right by you 24/7, you can never be fully prepared to handle sticky situations with your own children. Even more so with eating disorder treatment. Even the best parents need a particular skill set to deal with the complexities of supporting a child in the recovery process. 

This is where parenting coaching comes in.

Coaching is a bit different from traditional psychotherapy or counseling in that its focus is more goal-directed. Whereas traditional therapy may have you spend weeks exploring past events to recognize how they have contributed to current moods and behaviors, parenting coaching helps you choose a goal (ex. get my child to eat their snack after school) and offers tried and true techniques to help get the outcomes you desire.

Let’s Get You the Results You Want

A coach is that person in your corner that offers the best tools to reach the goals you’ve set and cheers you on as you do the work and take the necessary steps to get your child well. I’m here to share what I have learned over the years so you can gain control over your own actions and your home.

If you:

• Have a child recovering from an eating disorder doing family based therapy (FBT)...
• Are looking for ways to address behavioral issues alongside the eating disorder, such as aggression and defiance…
• Need help in taking care of yourself and managing your own stress…
• Need guidance on creating a plan to address any other mental health issues for your child…

Then please get in touch with me. I invite you to ask as many questions as you need to see if you think we will be a good fit for one another.
