Her experience includes developmentally disabled and spans all ages; from birth through the “terrible twos” and the “traumatic teens” to adulthood.

Picket Fence Parenting Mission Statement   

To help parents gain the knowledge and confidence they need, to create a strong, safe, joyful family system which nurtures each family member in this ever changing, challenging world.

Why Use A Parent Coach?

A Parent Coach is like any other skilled professional you call when you need assistance with ANY issue not in your field of expertise. We call plumbers, carpenters, electricians, doctors, etc. ALL THE TIME! We recognize that they have a specialized expertise built on education and experience that we do not.  Every community has a variety of professionals.  A Parent Coach is one of those skilled professionals that parents can turn to for assistance as they raise children! 

Since parenting issues are varied, the reasons parents seek out Parent Coaches are varied as well.  A Parent Coach can: 

• Assist with discipline issues at any stage of development

• Help parents navigate the school system and become more effective advocates for their children

• Address sibling rivalry, behavioral issues, and peer-related challenges

• Support new parents with their concerns about the baby and the changes they face  

• Encourage parents to set priorities and make clear decisions based on what is most important to them and best for their children

• Address how to sustain parental energy and involvement as the children get older

• Guide parents in developing motivation in their children, identifying their child’s strengths, celebrating their own attributes, and everything between.
