What Brings People To Coaching
Family life feels chaotic—and you and your partner can’t seem to get on the same page about parenting.
​
As a stepparent, you sometimes feel invisible or like an outsider in your own home.
​
You’re caught between your kids and your partner, unsure how to meet everyone’s needs.
​
Conversations about the kids often end in defensiveness, shutdown, or conflict.
​
Things were smoother before you all lived under one roof—and now it feels like you’ve lost ground.
​
A difficult or high-conflict co-parent is creating tension in your blended family.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re exactly where you need to be. Coaching helps you move from chaos to calm—so your home feels like a place of connection again.
What Coaching Is (and Isn't)
Stepfamily coaching is a warm, forward-focused process designed to help you create change through insight and action. It’s not therapy—but it is deeply informed by it.
With over fifteen years as a licensed therapist and clinician, I bring a trained understanding of family dynamics into each session. I combine that expertise with specialized training in evidence-based approaches for stepfamilies, so our work together isn’t generic—it’s built around your family’s specific needs and patterns.

Why This Approach Works
When you bring structure, guidance, and emotional steadiness to a blended family, everything begins to shift. You’ll notice fewer reactive moments, more empathy, and a growing sense that you’re finally moving forward—together.
I believe deeply in the resilience and potential of stepfamilies. And I get it—I’m living this life too. I know the moments that test your patience, the doubts that sneak in, and the joy that’s possible when things start to click.
