Parent coaching sessions are 50-minute, lightly structured virtual meetings that will start with some questions and assessment so I can get to know your family and your needs, then we’ll decide on goals and priorities together. We’ll spend some time talking about ADHD, learning some neurodivergent parenting principles, and coming up with some simple plans you can put into action right away.

The rate for each 50-minute parent coaching session is $250.
If you think you might have out-of-network (OON) insurance benefits, I partner with a company called Thrizer, with the goal of making the whole superbill process easier for you. They’ll check your OON coverage, automatically submit superbills for you, and even offer the option to avoid having to float the cost of the session fee while you’re waiting for reimbursement. Especially for clients with ADHD, this all tends to be a huge benefit!
Get in touch with me if you’d like me to help you check on your OON benefits or if you have any questions.

The minimum number of sessions I recommend is 3, but we can meet for as long as you want!
During the first session, we’ll get to know each other, do some assessment to figure out where to focus our time and start working through some of the essential ADHD essential principles that are likely to have the quickest and biggest impact right away.
The second session is for crafting some custom solutions by applying those principles in ways that are likely to work for your family.
During the third session, you’ll let me know how things are going and we’ll revise plans and create new ones as needed!
As you’re working to integrate new principles, habits, and information, it can be nice to be able to count on follow-up support and ask questions beyond these three sessions. We can schedule as regularly as needed until you feel like you’re on your feet and thriving.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation if you want to talk through some questions and make a plan together.

I’ve been there! Maybe you’ve been putting some pieces together and think an ADHD diagnosis - or something similar - might make a lot of sense, but aren’t ready for a full assessment or are waiting (such a long wait!) for your child’s appointment.
I’m happy to offer resources that can help you assess things yourself with a little more confidence and talk through options for children’s ADHD assessment, diagnosis and treatment (this is a wild world, and it can help to have a guide!) And we can work out some actionable steps you can take, both for yourself and your child, for more peace and calm regardless of a diagnosis.
Trying solutions that aren’t right for you leads to burnout and overwhelm.
Your circumstances are unique, so we’ll keep your goals and needs at the forefront as we craft solutions that will actually stick.
First, we’ll assess your immediate struggles, the ones that are draining your energy and causing strain, conflict, or harm.
Then, we can look a little deeper, to find out what life circumstances, family dynamics, or childhood experiences are pressure on your ADHD symptoms and contributing to the anxiety you just can’t shake.
Through our work together, you’ll have a much clearer sense of what it means to have ADHD, what you truly need and want, and greater self-confidence that will help you feel totally ready for whatever’s next.
