Frequently Asked Questions

​

​

What is your approach to coaching?

​My work is holistic and child-centered. I help parents support their children through three foundational areas they need in order to thrive:

• Nervous system regulation — how a child experiences stress, safety, and transitions

• Social-emotional development — how they express feelings, build relationships, and navigate challenges

• Learning and developmental needs — how they process information, engage with expectations, and build skills

​

Each child has a unique profile across these areas. Coaching is tailored to where your child is struggling or getting stuck, and support is targeted where it will make the biggest difference — rather than using one-size-fits-all strategies.

​

​

Who is this coaching for?

​

This work supports parents of both neurotypical and neurodivergent children, including autistic children, children with ADHD, sensory differences, or unique learning profiles.

Families come to this work when:

• Something isn’t working, even if they can’t quite name it

• Their child is struggling emotionally, socially, or with expectations

• They want to support their child’s growth, confidence, and well-being in a more aligned way

A diagnosis is not required to begin this work.

​

​

​

How does this approach support neurodivergent children?

​

Neurodivergent children often struggle not because of who they are, but because how they experience the world doesn't align with their support, environments, or expectations.

Because this work integrates regulation, emotional development, and learning needs, it allows us to:

• Adjust expectations to be developmentally and neurologically appropriate

• Support communication and emotional expression in ways that fit the child

• Reduce stress without relying on compliance-based or behavior-only tools

The goal is not to change a child, but to support their nervous system, strengths, and capacity to thrive.

​

​

​

Is this only about sensory or nervous system regulation?

​

No. While regulation is an important foundation, it’s only one part of the work. Some children need more support emotionally or socially. Others are struggling because learning expectations or environments aren’t aligned with their needs. Often, challenges overlap across all three areas.

Sessions focus on what your child needs right now — and evolve as your child grows.

​

​

What if my child is struggling in more than one area?

​

That’s very common. Many challenges overlap, and progress in one area often supports growth in others. We prioritize what will have the greatest impact first, then adjust as things shift.

​

​

What happens in a coaching session?

​

Sessions are with parents and are grounded in your child’s real-life experiences. Each session may include:

• Understanding what’s driving a current challenge

• Identifying which area(s) need the most support

• Creating clear, developmentally appropriate strategies

• Adjusting plans as things shift at home or school

Sessions are practical, supportive, and responsive to what matters most in the moment.

​

​

How quickly will I see changes?

​

Every family is different. Some parents notice shifts quickly, while others experience gradual changes over time. This work isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about building understanding, capacity, and skills that support your family now and in the long run.

​

​

How is this different from therapy or tutoring?

​

This work sits at the intersection of regulation, social-emotional development, and learning. It is not therapy or academic tutoring. Instead, it helps parents understand how their child functions and how to create conditions that support growth across environments.

​

​

Can this be used alongside school or other professionals?

​

Yes. Many families use coaching alongside preschool, school support, occupational therapy, or other services. Coaching helps parents integrate insights and feel confident supporting their child consistently at home.
