Decode the behavior
We figure out what your child's behavior is actually communicating — sensory overload, anxiety, skill gap, escape, or something else. The function tells us what to do.

Behavior & Parent Coaching
Behavior is communication. Let's decode it together.
Practical coaching for parents navigating meltdowns, transitions, regulation, and disability-related behavior. Skill-building over punishment. Strategies that actually work, taught by someone who's been on both sides of the parent-teacher table.
Is this for your family?
You don't need a different child. You need a different toolkit.
Mornings, transitions, or homework time consistently end in meltdowns. You're walking on eggshells, and your usual parenting tools have stopped working.
Your child keeps getting in trouble at school for behaviors that feel connected to their disability, and consequences aren't changing anything.
You feel like you're constantly disciplining and rarely connecting. The relationship with your child has started to feel strained, and you want to repair it.
The school is talking about a Functional Behavior Assessment or Behavior Intervention Plan, and you want help understanding what to ask for and what to push back on.
What you get
Practical strategies, not theory.
A real toolkit
Specific strategies for the situations you're actually navigating — mornings, homework, sibling conflict, public meltdowns, bedtime, screen time. Tools you can use today.
Co-regulation skills
How to be the regulated nervous system in the room when your child cannot regulate yet. The single most powerful thing a parent can learn for a dysregulated child.
School advocacy
If your child's behavior is becoming an IEP issue, we work on what to ask the school for — FBA, BIP, manifestation determination, and skill-based interventions.
Skill, not punishment
Approaches grounded in the principle that "kids do well if they can." We focus on building the skills your child is missing, not adding consequences for skills they don't have yet.
Whole-family support
Your nervous system matters too. We talk about your own regulation, your relationship with your child, and how the whole family system holds together under stress.
The philosophy
"Kids do well if they can."
When a child can't do something — whether it's regulating their emotions, following multi-step directions, or tolerating transitions — the answer isn't more consequences. The answer is teaching the missing skill.
That principle changes everything about how you respond to behavior. It's the foundation of how I coach parents, and it's the framework I bring to every conversation about your child.
How it works
Coaching that moves the needle.
01
Initial conversation
We start with a thorough conversation about what you're seeing, when it happens, what you've already tried, and what you'd most like to change.
02
Strategy + practice
Each session focuses on one or two specific situations. You leave with concrete strategies you can try this week, not abstract principles to figure out alone.
03
Refine & adjust
In follow-up sessions we look at what worked, what didn't, and what to try next. Real change happens through iteration, not a single conversation.
Pricing
Pay per session. No commitment required.
Common questions
Things parents often ask.
Is this therapy or counseling?
No. This is parent coaching grounded in behavior intervention principles. It's educational and practical, not clinical. If your child needs therapy or mental health support, that's a separate service from a licensed clinician.
What kinds of behaviors do you help with?
Common areas include emotional regulation, transitions, meltdowns, defiance, sensory-driven behavior, school refusal, sibling conflict, and disability-related behaviors that aren't responding to traditional discipline. If you're not sure whether what you're navigating fits, reach out and ask.
Do you work with the child or just the parent?
Sessions are primarily with parents. The work focuses on giving you the tools, language, and strategies to support your child at home. For some families, brief sessions with the child may be added when it's the right fit.
How many sessions does it usually take?
Many families see meaningful change within 4 to 6 sessions. Some need ongoing support over months. We start with what you're navigating right now and let the work tell us where to go. There's no commitment to a package.
Will what I learn here align with what the school is doing?
When the school is using evidence-based behavior approaches, yes. When the school is leaning on punishment without skill-building, part of the work is helping you advocate for a different approach. Either way, you'll have the language and the framework to advocate effectively.
You're not a bad parent. You need different tools.
A first session can change the way the next hard moment goes. Let's get you those tools.
