YOU NEED THE SUPPORT OF A TRUSTED COACH

Family coaching is a safe, supportive, confidential relationship that allows you to create true transformation in your parenting and family relationships. It is not always easy work, but you and your family are worth it!

Hi, I'm Melissa!

I am an experienced educator, counselor, interventionist, and parent. As a coach, I embrace and empower parents and families of all types. You may be experiencing something particularly challenging or feeling stuck. You don’t have to wait any longer hoping that somehow things will improve on their own or worried that you've waited too long. Every family is unique and experiences different challenges. If you’re ready to embark on a new path, you can start heading in that direction today. Let's work together!

HOW IS COACHING DIFFERENT THAN THERAPY?

Coaching is a collaborative process focused on the present and future. It is results-oriented and aims to address concerns with a certain focus. Coaching is a more informal process, including issues of session time, location, contact between sessions and dual relationships outside coaching. Coaching is not designed to treat mental illness.

HOW IS COACHING DIFFERENT THAN THERAPY?

My coaching process is customized to the needs of you and your unique family. It is an opportunity to better understand yourself, your child and learn how to improve the quality of your interactions and relationship. You'll learn new skills and perspectives with lots of support along the way.
