Parent Coaching

Parenting is one of the most demanding and potentially most fulfilling endeavors in our lives.

I will support you to feel better equipped to respond to the challenges and experience greater fulfillment in your parenting.

 
What began as an abstract conversation about my “preferred future” early in coaching slowly developed into concrete thoughts, action items, and positive results.  Michelle is an engaged listener and is skilled at threading elements of previous conversations together.  By the end of our sessions, multiple aspects of my dream future were my new reality!

Working together we will:

  • Discover what is feeling difficult right now and what is working well.

  • Envision a more positive future.

  • Craft small, do-able steps toward that more positive future.

Each step along the way, you will have a down-to-earth, compassionate, results-oriented guide to get you from where you are to where you want to be.

How it Works

Working with individuals, couples, or small groups, we first talk about what’s feeling hard right now. I have never met a parent who doesn’t have something to say when I ask about the challenges they are navigating.

Next, we talk about the strengths already present in you, your child or children, and your family as a whole. We discover the resources within you and around you.

Next, we create a vision of a preferred future — often one of greater ease and contentment. With a solid understanding of the strengths you possess and a clear vision of the direction in which we are moving, together we craft small, doable steps toward that preferred future.

By the end of a coaching series, you will feel more connected to what’s good in your family, what you value about your children, and what you do well as a parent.

You will feel a greater sense of competence and confidence navigating the road ahead.

I wasn’t drowning in problems or parenting issues when I started working with Michelle, just treading water.  My 10 weeks of coaching helped me move from steady treading to swimming with strength and purpose.
