Relationship Coaching
After nearly 25 years of coaching parents, I've learned there's so much more to being a good parent than knowing effective discipline tools. Many of the clients I've had over the years are struggling with marital or relationship issues which has an impact on their parenting.
Many times over the last 28 years of my own marriage, we almost gave up. I had to figure out how I was contributing to the challenges we were having. Through hours and hours of reflecting, a lot of dialogue, and some outside help, we got through it. We're now in the best place we've ever been. I'm not a therapist and don't pretend to be, but I've learned some fundamental tools that contribute to a healthy marriage. I can also say "I've been there" when people share their relationship challenges with me. Parents will tell me what they value most is their family yet too often we don't put the time and energy into ensuring our home is peaceful and harmonious. If we put all our focus on our jobs and our kids, what happens to the marriage? If we let our marriage crumble, what happens to the family unit we value so much? .
