I want you to like
the child you love.
Parenting a spirited, sensitive, neurodiverse, or misunderstood child is something only those of us who have been on this journey can truly understand.
It means parenting that requires an extra dose of grace, patience, and flexibility.
This might look very different from how you were raised, how you see friends and family parenting, or how you imagined it to be.
You might even feel jealous thinking other families “have it so easy."
You are not alone in feeling this way. I have spoken to hundreds of parents just like you.
While your child is unique, the feelings are universal.
I will help you learn specific tools and techniques so you can start being the parent you always hoped to be.
Do you feel powerless when it comes to managing your overwhelm and frustration?
This isn’t because you’re a bad mom. It’s because no one gave you the tools to handle things any differently.
In our work together you will learn my proven process that will help you become the mom you always wanted to be. This process can be applied to any age or stage or parenting.
I use my background as a clinically trained therapist to help parents:
Understand what’s really causing your overwhelming emotions such as stress, anger, or guilt and how you can take back control of how you feel
Recognize your child’s unique strengths and explore what their behavior is really communicating
Develop a more authentic connection with your child
Uncover the limiting (and UNTRUE) beliefs and self-judgements that you have been carrying around and how they are impacting your parenting
Learn to manage your kids’ behavior more calmly and confidently
Improve communication with your partner
Discover your parenting superpower (I promise everyone has one)
Feel empowered to be your child’s best advocate
Evaluate your actions and reactions, so you will always know what is working, what needs to be adjusted, and how to do this for your family
“I started working with Kate after struggling for years with my son’s behavior related to his ADHD. After our first session I was in tears. I finally felt like someone understood what I was going through. Things are so much better now. I am enjoying time with my son again and my relationship with my husband has also improved. I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am to have found Kate and her coaching.”
— Jennifer F.
“When I called Kate I was at a breaking point. I was stressed and overwhelmed. I didn’t know how to get back to feeling like myself. I wasn’t even sure where to start. These coaching sessions have given me the direction I needed. My approach to parenting has completely changed. I feel hopeful again. I encourage any mom who feels at the end of their rope to give Kate a call - it was the best thing I could have done.”

I help parents who are struggling to
enjoy parenthood.
I specialize in working with the parents of:
The sensitive child
The spirited child
The strong-willed child
The misunderstood child
The neurodiverse child
The child who requires extra time, attention, and patience
The child who feels harder to raise
The “I love you, but sometimes it’s hard to like you” child
No more looking for advice in crowded Facebook groups.
We will work together to help you learn a simple process you can start using immediately to bring calm to your home.
It’s the same process I use with every parent who is ready to create the parenthood experience they’ve always wanted.
If this is you, let’s get started.
I will be here to support you every step of the way.
What would life be like if…
You had a peaceful home?
You weren’t spending your time exhausted, frustrated, and overwhelmed?
You felt confident in your parenting decisions?
And you believed enjoying parenthood was possible?
