Caregiving & Parenting Classes
Struggling with big emotions, power struggles, or the daily stress of parenting? You’re not alone. Raising emotionally healthy kids takes support—let this be part of your village.
You’re not alone in feeling alone—parenting is a journey we walk together.
Helping raise kids who feel safe, seen, and loved.
Building deeper trust with your child starts with understanding their emotional world and showing up with empathy, even in the hard moments. In our approach, you’ll learn how to support your child’s emotional growth while also setting healthy, respectful limits. Together, we’ll explore practical strategies for responding to big feelings, reducing daily power struggles, and creating a more peaceful, connected home environment. Even when things feel messy or overwhelming, it’s possible to foster a relationship rooted in safety, trust, and mutual respect.
challenges you might be facing:
Communication Issues
It feels impossible to connect with your child. Whether they’ve shut down completely or every conversation turns into an argument.
Emotional & Social Difficulties
You are watching your child struggle with big emotions, anxiety, or friendship problems & you are unsure how to support them through their emotional challenges while building their confidence and social skills in age-appropriate, effective ways.
You're feeling hopeless.
Parenting doesn’t come with a manual, and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed or like nothing you try is working. You’re not alone, and it’s not too late.

You Can:
find your way forward
It’s very common for parents to feel that conflict is running amok in their household and they’re stuck at an impasse, unable to communicate with their child without making things worse, let alone parent effectively. You deserve to come up for air, get unstuck, find clarity, and feel some forward momentum in your parenting journey.
reclaim your peace
We often find parents are unable to fulfill their roles in life — can’t be there for their other children, work is suffering, their marriage is strained. You deserve to gain a foothold, have productive conversations with your child, set healthy boundaries, and return to being the parent and person you want to be.
from resentment to relief
These classes will help you understand the root causes of difficult behaviors and give you effective tools to address them, so you can stop feeling like you’re constantly fighting an uphill battle. When you have strategies that actually work and can see positive changes in your family dynamic, that daily frustration and resentment naturally begins to fade.

Class 01.
Building Connection, Resilience, and Emotional Understanding
In this class, we’ll explore supportive approaches to nurturing emotional well-being in children and building meaningful connections that work for all ages—from helping a 6-year-old manage big feelings to supporting a teen through emotional ups and downs. You’ll learn practical tools for setting healthy boundaries, responding with empathy, and navigating everyday parenting challenges through real-life scenarios, mindfulness exercises, and conversations tailored to your unique family.
Why parenting today feels harder
Parenting today comes with unique challenges our own parents never faced—from managing screen time and social media to navigating a world that feels less predictable and more overwhelming than ever before.
Lesson 02
The Good Inside Approach
The Good Inside approach recognizes that all children are inherently good, and challenging behaviors are simply their way of communicating unmet needs or big feelings they can’t yet handle. This framework focuses on understanding what your child is really trying to tell you while setting firm boundaries with empathy rather than punishment.
Lesson 03
Unconditional Love & Validation
Learn about why children need unconditional love and validation to develop healthy self-worth and emotional security, and how this foundation helps them become more confident, resilient, and emotionally regulated. Discover the difference between accepting your child unconditionally while still setting firm boundaries on behavior.
Lesson 04
Structure & Understanding
Learn about why children need clear structure and understanding to feel safe and thrive, and how predictable routines and empathetic responses help them navigate their world with confidence. Discover how to create age-appropriate boundaries that provide security while still allowing for growth and independence.
Lesson 05
Healthy Modeling
Discover how your own responses to stress, conflict, and daily challenges become your child’s blueprint for handling life’s ups and downs. Understand how intentional modeling of healthy boundaries, communication, and self-care teaches children more effectively than any lecture or consequence ever could.
Lesson 06
Multiplicity
Learn about how more than one truth can exist at the same time—like how you can feel frustrated with your child’s behavior while still loving them deeply. Discover how modeling this complexity helps children understand that having big feelings doesn’t make them bad people, and that relationships can hold multiple emotions simultaneously.
Class 02.
Self-Care, Positive Parenting and Emotional Management

This class offers practical tools for emotional self-regulation, stress management, and realistic self-care approaches that fit into your busy life as a parent or caregiver. Through gentle reflection and group discussions, you’ll develop sustainable strategies for maintaining emotional balance while navigating the unique challenges of each stage of childhood.

Hi, I'm Natalie, your coach.
I am a licensed independent counselor with 28 years experience in the mental health field and have developed a deep passion for coaching parents and strengthening family connections. I enjoy working with all age groups and populations, providing a safe environment to facilitate supportive coaching relationships because I believe everyone is a person of worth. In my coaching I meet parents where they are at in their journey and guide them in developing practical parenting skills, with a special focus on helping families navigate the complexities of raising children in today’s world. I use evidence-based strategies from Cognitive Behavioral approaches along with polyvagal theory, and fell in love with Dialectical Behavior skills in 2009, applying these tools to help families communicate more effectively and build stronger bonds.
