Parenting Coach & Support

Helping San Diego Parents
and California Families

Therapist in San Marcos coaching parents throughout San Diego to help kids cope with anxiety.

It's so hard to parent your kid some days. You try to hold your ground, but they eventually wear you down.

You just don't know how to deal with their big emotions. When they get scared or angry, you feel like you’re in a hostage negotiation.

So, you try to coax, bribe, or beg them. They dig in more. You try to set a boundary. But saying no gets them upset, so you eventually give in. Then you are left feeling discouraged or, worse, angry.

You fear that you’re failing as a parent.

You don't want to be harsh (you remember what that was like as a kid) but avoiding harshness seems to have your kid running circles around you or all over you.

You've got a kid with lots of feelings and it's so hard to see them upset. But you aren't sure if always making your child happy is best for them, even if it does keep the peace until the next battle. 

I'm a therapist who coaches discouraged parents to kindly, but firmly parent their children. Through parent coaching, you can learn to hold respectful boundaries with your kids and have real peace in your home. 

Together we can identify circumstances where you struggle.

Those times when you give in to your children because you feel stuck. We will develop a game plan so you can show up and be consistent. With consistency, your child can learn to trust your boundaries and not get confused by them. I'll help you do that without losing your temper too! 

As a coach, I am pointing out your strengths as a parent, challenging you to examine places where you get triggered or stuck, and encouraging you all along the way.

I can help you set loving limits and feel more confident about how you parent. And none of this ever requires you to be harsh or angry.  Setting loving limits, and holding to them reduces anger.

We will meet weekly through video or in person until you meet your goals. In between sessions, you can jump on a brief call to talk through things.

Let's do this. Contact me to discover how having a parent coach in your corner can transform your home into a place of peace and connection.

    • Your child may not want to come to therapy and bringing a child to therapy when they are not wanting to come can be problematic.

    • Parent coaching and support can equip you with additional skills to help your child in the privacy of your home.

    • It’s also way more convenient. Bringing a child to weekly therapy appointments after school while juggling extra-curricular activities can be super challenging.

    • Parent coaching sessions can be scheduled while your children are at school, or you are on your lunch break. While you can meet with me in person most parents choose meeting through a secure video platform from their home or office.

  • $235 for a 60-minute session.

    $195 for a 45-minute session.
