For Parents and Couples

I offer brief, solution-focused coaching designed specifically for you and your co-parent to enhance communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen your partnership. My aim is to start with you, the primary caregivers, to improve family dynamics and ensure that all family members benefit from a cohesive and supportive parental approach.

Through our coaching sessions, we will tackle the relational strains and conflicts that can naturally emerge between partners due to the stress of caregiving for a child with special needs. Our work together might involve:

• Psychoeducation: Gaining a deeper understanding of your child’s specific developmental disabilities or neurological differences. This knowledge will empower you to make informed decisions and approach caregiving with greater confidence.
• Stress Management and Resilience Building: Developing strategies to manage stress and build resilience, ensuring that both you and your co-parent can handle the pressures of caregiving more effectively.
• Communication Strategies: Improving how you and your co-parent communicate, including techniques for active listening, expressing needs, and resolving disagreements constructively.
• Problem-Solving Skills: Enhancing your ability to tackle challenges together, fostering a collaborative approach to finding solutions.
• Understanding and Addressing Personal Needs: Reflecting on your individual feelings and needs as caregivers, and finding ways to address these while maintaining a united front.

Our goal is to get you both on the "same page," aligning your approaches and perspectives. By addressing your needs as individuals, parents, and as a couple, we will explore how your relationship dynamics influence and impact your overall family system.

Together, we will work towards creating a supportive environment that benefits your entire family, fostering greater harmony and effective caregiving. Sessions are conducted in your home or virtually.
