OUR CHILDREN DO NOT COME WITH A MANUAL

If only it were that easy! You need more training to drive a car, operate a dishwasher or get most jobs! But our children—our children do not come with a manual or any sort of training. We must jump in when they enter our lives and, often, parenting is nothing like we thought it would be, which can leave us lost, confused, and stressed.

What’s a parent to do?

Sometimes we find ourselves in a struggle, challenge, or battle with our children and we might end up digging our heels in on the issue, which often leads to more arguing and less connection. We feel angry, triggered, and discouraged and so do our children. That is not what we want at all and it is certainly not how we dreamed parenting would look.

This is where I come in.

Parents come to me with a wide variety of challenges, from behavioral issues (like bedtime and mealtime battles) to disrespect, homework and chore battles, anxiety, and the biggest modern problem of all, screen time. I help parents with kids of all ages, from toddlers to teens and beyond, to learn how to set healthy boundaries, understand why their children act the way they do, and create deep, lasting, loving connections with their children. Together, we build upon what is already working and create a dream vision for their family’s future. Then, we go about taking the steps to get them there. I have witnessed family relationships transform through my coaching. Where there once was tension, resentment, fear, and disappointment, there blooms joy, gratitude, and deep, loving connection.

With a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and PCI Parent Coach Certification®, I have worked with families of all kinds for over 20 years. Parenting is the most important and sacred job we will ever have, and I am excited to help you in yours!

What Parents Say After Coaching With Me

When I began working with Erin, I was so stressed. Things were not going well in my family and I felt hopeless, like the vision I had for my family would never come true. But with time and Erin’s coaching, my family is now thriving, and I am becoming the parent I always wanted to be but didn’t know how.

Erin has such a calm, peaceful demeanor. She put me at ease with every session we had together. I began to look forward to my weekly calls with her, not only because of all of her wisdom, but because I felt better just talking to her. She eased my anxiety and helped me to support my son in learning how to manage his anxiety. We still face small bumps in the road, but we are now equipped to deal with issues as they arise and we both feel confident and ready for whatever comes our way!
