Attention Parents! Could you use a Parent Coach?
Do the demands of parenting overwhelm you? I can help you sort through the pressures of life so you can focus your time and energy on what is most important to your family. Would you like to find ways to work more as a team with your spouse? Would you like some support as you welcome a new baby into your home or navigate the school system? Whatever your concern, I will work with you to set goals based on what is important to you. Parent coaching sessions are tailored to you, your unique family, and the specific concerns of your family. I will help you discover more about the unique strengths of your family, assist you in identifying your dreams, and help you with designing action steps to move toward your dreams. I would love to discuss how parent coaching can benefit you and your family.
I bring a broad range of knowledge and experiences to GarnetStar Coaching. I've earned PCI Parent Coach Certification® through the Parent Coaching Institute in Bellevue, Washington. I am also a certified teacher in Washington State with a degree in Elementary Education from Washington State University and an endorsement in Early Childhood Education. My husband and I are privileged to be the parents of three wonderful children: a daughter in middle school, a daughter in first grade, and a two-year old son. I am passionate about my family, my friends, and living a healthy, active, and fun life filled with love for those around me. I love living my life with great intention and currently spend my time caring for my family, parent coaching, volunteering with my church, and mentoring young women through the ministry of Young Life.

I am an adoptive parent of three fabulous young adults ages 22, 19, and 18 who have been my teachers and my inspiration. My coaching practice blends my experience as a parent with my expertise as a masters-level community health educator to help parents bridge the gap between what they are told will work and what really does work for their family. I have had experience with ADHD, adolescent depression, Dyslexia, and Sensory Integration Disorder, and I understand fully what it means to be a parent in chaos.
I am co-owner of Life's a Poodle, a grassroots organization promoting the success and dignity of children who learn differently.
I work with individual parents and couples in the following areas:
- Adoption
- Advocating for a child with learning differences (e.g., dyslexia and ADHD)
- Co-parenting discrepancies
- Setting appropriate boundaries for all ages
- Setting appropriate screen time boundaries (computer, video games)

For the past 30 years I have specialized in learning about families and
their young children, especially infants and toddlers. I have spent
considerable time as an elementary school teacher and currently I work
as a parent education instructor at Bates Technical College, in addition
to parent coaching. It is clear to me that nurturing very early learning
is about supporting and encouraging parents to cultivate healthy
relationships with their children. In my coaching I focus on strengths
to find hope and revitalization. I advocate for the job and joy of
parenting and enjoy coaching couples as well.

My goal as a PCI Certified Parent Coach® is to partner with parents in a collaborative relationship, combining their strengths (which they may have forgotten in tough times) with my child development and parenting knowledge. Together we:
- Discover what is working in the family's system, and use that information to address challenges.
- Develop a dream for the future, picturing the elements of those challenges resolved, and feeling the satisfaction and relief that realized dreams will provide.
- Design action steps for addressing the challenges. Together, we devise, test and "tweak" that design. We use the parental and family strengths, combined with my abilities to provide new resources, pertinent child development information, effective parenting techniques and modified alternatives—which fit your family.
- Recognize a Destiny—Acknowledge both the small steps and the transformations those small steps make in your family's living system. You can do this!
I have a great respect for the children we parents are entrusted with. My ability to walk in a child's shoes to explain their actions is one of my strengths. I am the parent of grown children, so I have also walked more then a mile in those shoes. It is my goal, through coaching, to support those who value this job of parenting as much as I do.
To contact me for more information about my credentials, my coaching practice, or to sign up for my free e-newsletter "Picket Fence Parenting," please visit my website at www.picketfenceparenting.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

As a coach my goal is to support parents in imagining, articulating and
reaching their highest vision for their families. The coaching
relationship attends deeply to the inner and outer worlds of families
and to the interaction between the two. I nurture parents' ability to
bring mindfulness to all aspects of their lives. This guides their
journey toward their dream and brings relief from stress and scattered
energy. My cumulative experience as a teacher, parent educator, and
child and family counselor form the foundation on which my coaching
lies.

As a PCI Certified Parent Coach®, I am passionate about families as a whole, as well as the distinctive roles of mothers and fathers. Not only is parenting the most important job we will ever have, it is the greatest potential influence in human society. I am a mother of two wonderful children, my son, age 4, and my daughter who is currently 15 months old. Shortly before my son was born, I left the corporate world after a successful 15-year career, working within small, medium and large Fortune 500 companies. Upon embarking on my new career as a mom, I found that running a family, has many similarities to running a business. It requires a great deal of planning, creativity, relationship building, and a lot of intuition. These are my personal areas of expertise. I enjoy working with parents of young children, because I can share so many parenting stories that are fresh in my mind and relevant in today's world. I am also passionate about coaching and the meaningful relationships I develop with my clients. I have been successfully coaching clients for eight years in the areas of life, career, relationships, and work/life balance. I have a B.A. degree in Psychology. My coaching process is straightforward, compassionate, honest, light-hearted, and aided by helpful tools and resources necessary for achieving greatness in your family. I am able to work with clients via phone and e-mail nationwide.
Many clients say that the end result is a feeling of peace. I have successfully guided my clients with the following:
- Altruism, values, & morals
- Bonding with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers
- Child development information (ages and stages)
- Communication among family members
- Defiant behavior and positive discipline techniques
- Family mission statements and family plans
- Household management, childhood chores
- Kindergarten readiness
- Managing TV & media usage
- Personal organization

I have 20 years experience as a maternal-child health nurse, helping
parents adjust to pregnancy, birth, newborns, along with navigating
child rearing and family life. Eight years ago, I began facilitating a
support group for mom's challenged by parenting their
"spirited" children; families struggling with learning
differences, adoption, behavior, emotional, and/or social challenges.
Now as a PCI Parent Coach, I continue to work with parents at all stages
of their parenting life and help them find the resilience and effective
strategies for themselves and their children. My goal is to support each
family's unique needs and help them transform their lives.

Receive Confidential Help Via the Telephone—No Child Care to Arrange
New Clients Receive 30 Minutes of Free Consultation
Parent coaching is intended to help a parent who is working through a parenting issue, such as:
- a new parent adjusting to parenthood
- a parent needing a better way to manage a toddler's roller coaster emotions
- a parent exploring his/her child's school future
- a parent curious about how to parent in a more positive way
- parents interested in creating a parenting plan for raising their child(ren)
- parents seeking common ground when there is a disagreement about how to parent
- parents who are striving to balance the demands of work and family
- parents who are parenting a child with a mental health issue
Parent coaching is not therapy. Therapy tends to focus on healing past emotional wounds and is often-times a much needed resource for the family. Parent coaching goes beyond therapy by helping a parent focus on finding and developing better strategies for parenting in the future.
Parent coaching is a very family friendly way to get help for the family. This confidential approach can occur in person (Puget Sound) or on the telephone. Telephone parent coaching takes away the need for finding a sitter for the child(ren) because the coaching call can happen while the child is napping or after bedtime when the time is right for the family. Also, parent coaching can occur while the parent is at work during the lunch break, if that fits the family schedule better.
My husband and I are actively and happily parenting two boys who are 14 and 10 years of age. We work to manage the many tugs and pulls on family life of their after school activities which include sports, music, and scouting. I have been working with families as a parent education instructor at a local community college for over ten years. I have found that sometimes parents need more help than just "knowing" what to do. This is where parent coaching comes in. I feel that parent coaching is the bridge to helping parents create and implement a parenting plan that works for their family.
