I am a PCI Certified Parent Coach®, a mindset coach for parents, a retired Pediatrician, and a mother of four young adults, several with “extra needs”. I support parents of children with special needs, high needs, extra needs, and different needs and work with them so that they can have a calmer, more conscious, more connected, and more confident parenting experience. I work with parents of any child with a physical, mental, emotional, behavioral, or learning difference, or any family facing challenging circumstances such as a divorce, a parent’s illness, a death in the family, a new sibling, or a change in family living arrangements or family dynamics. I help parents reclaim the joy of parenting no matter what challenges they face or struggles they encounter.
I work with parents of any child with a physical, mental, emotional, behavioral, or learning difference including Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), Learning Disabilities or Learning Challenges, Anxiety, Depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) and other mental health and learning differences.
As a Certified Parent Coach, I work with parents. Although I have trained as a pediatrician and have practiced medicine in the past, I am now retired from the practice of medicine and do not treat or work with children. I do not provide medical advice, but instead, I utilize the knowledge gained during my pediatric training and my years working with families to assist parents with their parenting challenges.
All of my coaching is done by phone or video calls.
