Hi, I’m Kat—trauma clinician turned parenting coach, and mother of three grown boys who taught me more than any textbook ever could.

With over 30 years of parenting experience and over a  decades supporting families as a mental health professional, I help parents navigate the messy, meaningful, and often overwhelming world of raising kids. I’m trained in evidence-based models like SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS), EFFT (Emotion Family Focus Therapy), CPRT (Child Parent Relationship Therapy and the Complex Care Intervention Program (CCI). But more importantly, I know how it feels to be the parent holding it all together—until you can’t.

My approach is grounded, no-shame, and always from the heart. Whether we’re working through screen-time struggles, bedtime battles, explosive behaviors, or your own inner child wounds, I bring a deep understanding of brain science, nervous system regulation, and attachment to everything I do and I’m here to remind you:

🌿 You don’t have to do it alone.
🧠 Your child isn’t broken—and neither are you.
💛 Connection changes everything.

Let’s shift from surviving to thriving—one small step (and a whole lot of compassion) at a time.

At That Parenting Coach, we believe the hardest job in the world shouldn’t be the one you’re expected to figure out alone.

You get coaches for business, fitness, birthing, breastfeeding—even your taxes. 

So why not parenting?

We offer real support for real parents—compassionate coaching that’s backed by experience, brain science, and every trauma-informed, evidence-based model you wish came with the baby. From SPACE and Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) to EFFT, CCI, and beyond, we bring it all together in a way that actually makes sense for your child—

and your nervous system.

This isn’t about perfect parenting. It’s about supported parenting.
And around here, you don’t have to do it alone.

Not sure what to say—or how to say it—when your child is melting down, refusing to listen, or spiraling with anxiety? We’ve got you.

We offer practical scripts, coaching, and tools rooted in trauma-informed, evidence-based parenting and caregiving approaches. Whether you’re navigating big emotions, intense behaviors, or just really hard moments, you’ll get language that builds connection, not conflict.

Because how we say it matters just as much as what we do.

Every family is different—and so is every coaching plan.
Our one-on-one sessions are designed around your unique needs, challenges, and goals. Whether you're navigating explosive behaviors, anxiety, tricky transitions, or daily routines that just aren't working, you'll receive personalized support that actually fits your life.

We offer:

• 💡 Brain-based, attachment-focused, trauma-informed strategies
   
• 🗣️ Custom scripts and communication tools
   
• 📱 Optional texting support between sessions
   
• 🛠️ Practical tools to support regulation, connection, and calm
   

This is your space to feel seen, supported, and resourced as a parent. No judgment. Just real help, rooted in what works.
