Parenting was working.
Then something shifted.
And now everyone has an opinion about what you should do differently.

You’re not looking for another opinion. You’re looking for something that actually helps.

LEARN How Parent Coaching Helps

Maybe this sounds familiar.

You love your kid. You want good things for both of you. That was never the question.
But something shifted. Maybe gradually, maybe all at once. What used to work doesn’t work the way it did. And everywhere you turn someone has a different theory about why.
Try this approach. Be more consistent. Set firmer boundaries. Give them more space. Everyone has opinions. And underneath all of it is a quiet voice that says if I were doing this right, we wouldn’t be here.
And then there’s the harder part that nobody talks about.
When your kid acts out, melts down, shuts down, or does the thing they keep doing — it doesn’t feel like a problem to solve. It feels like a verdict on you. What does this say about me? What are people thinking? What am I missing that every other parent seems to have figured out?
What you need isn’t more advice about what you should be doing differently.
What you need is someone who can help you find what’s already working — and help you do more of that.

“I thought she was going to tell me what to do. She didn’t. She asked me questions until I figured it out myself. I didn’t know that was possible.”

How this Works

The sticker charts weren’t wrong. Neither were the consequences, the agreements, the routines, or the thing you read about at 11pm and tried the next morning.

But here’s what most parenting advice misses. It tells you what to do. It doesn’t help you figure out what works for you and your family — the specific dynamic happening in your specific home.

That’s a different kind of help. And it’s what Lisa does.

No predetermined program. No sitting across from someone who makes you feel like you’re being evaluated.

It starts with a free 20-minute call. No commitment, no pressure. Just a chance to talk about what’s happening and get a sense of whether this feels like a good fit.

If you decide to move forward, you bring what’s happening in your family. Lisa asks the questions that help you see it differently.
Not what you should be doing. What’s already working well for your family — and how to build on it.

Between sessions there’s sometimes a small specific thing to try or notice. Not busywork — something tied directly to what you’re working on in your family. Parents who engage between sessions get more out of the process. Lisa keeps it purposeful and keeps it manageable.

No two families are the same. The pace adjusts as you go.
And the goal is never dependency on a coach — only more confidence as a parent.

Every parent who walks in the door is already doing something right.

That is the baseline where Lisa begins her work with every family.
Not focusing on what’s broken and a program designed to fix it. With a real conversation about what’s already working in your family and how to build from there.

Lisa doesn’t come in with a curriculum she runs every parent through. What she has is over fifteen years of experience, a deep knowledge of child and family development, and tools and strategies she customizes for every situation. Lisa sees her job as providing a personalized set of tools and options to suit the needs of a specific family’s situation.

She doesn’t coach with shoulds and coulds. What works — and what lasts — is finding what’s already working in your family and building from there.
She’s been doing this work professionally for over two decades.

She trains other parent coaches at Concordia University. She’s spent a long time learning how to ask the right questions — and even longer learning how to get out of the way and let parents find their own answers.

What parents say after working with Lisa

What People Are Saying

“Lisa made them think deeply and offered something completely different from any other service they’ve had.”
c
County Social Worker
“At first, I expected criticism. Instead, Lisa listened, asked thoughtful questions, and helped me find my own answers”
letter p
Parent in Coaching Program
“When I was told I had to meet with a parent coach, my first reaction was to dismiss the idea. I thought, ‘She will criticize me for my child’s truancy.’ Instead, she asked me what issues I wanted to address and where I felt uncertain in my parenting. She helped me come up with solutions by listening and asking thoughtful questions. She encouraged me to recall moments when I had successfully parented my child, helping me identify strengths I hadn’t recognized before. This made me feel more confident and comfortable with my parenting style. She never imposed her opinions or told me what to do. Coaching has made me more confident as a mother.”

Growth doesn’t happen overnight.

it unfolds through small moments of awareness and courage.

Your next one could start here.

During her next session she said: “It’s like magic.”

An exhausted mom came to Lisa. Every transition in her house was a battle. Every “time to go” or “turn it off” was a potential blowup. She was bracing before these moments even arrived.

Lisa worked with her on something simple. Specific to her family, specific to what was happening in her house.

The next session she came back and said “It’s like magic.” She couldn’t believe how much better things went that week.

But what she said after that is more important. This mom talked about how she’d started using the same approach to prepare herself before those moments. So that when things got tense — and sometimes they still did — she was already steady. Already prepared.

That’s what parents describe after working with Lisa. Not a perfect household. Not a different kid. A clearer sense of themselves. More steadiness. The feeling that they know what to do when things get hard — and that they can find their way back when they lose their footing.
“I’m feeling more confident in myself.”

“I’m starting to understand my child a little better.”

“I tried something small and it actually worked.”
