Frequently Asked Questions

I have more than 20 years of experience and training as both an educator, a coach, and a parent. Learn more about my background, philosophies, and credentials and hear what clients have to say about working with me.

I generally offer my parent coaching and consultation online. Though for families in the Greater Boston area, I can also meet in person if I am meeting with your child. Workshops, parenting circles, and courses, are provided in person in the Greater Boston area or online for those living beyond.

I will travel to deliver workshops, consultation, or courses to organizations and schools.

This varies greatly, depending on your situation and goals. It may be as few as 3-5 sessions, or could be as many as 18-20. Still others choose to continue with sessions on a longer term basis. I will make a recommendation based on your free consultation, but ultimately the amount of sessions is up to you!

I begin with information and data gathering. I spend time learning about your family and your goals, including your child’s perspective on their own experience. You answer surveys which help me understand your parenting style and your perception of your child’s strengths and difficulties. From there, I teach you foundational skills – including positive parenting strategies, mindfulness, and collaborative problem solving – which help set your whole family up for success. Finally, I teach you how to maintain these skills on your own. You will have homework to complete between each session.
