That Parenting Coach

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 decade supporting families as a mental health professional, I specialize in effective parenting coaching to 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, focusing on developing effective parenting skills. 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. 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, embracing supportive parenting.

At That Parenting Coach, we believe that the hardest job in the world shouldn’t be one you have to navigate alone. Just as you seek effective parenting coaching, business advice, fitness guidance, birthing support, breastfeeding help, and even assistance with your taxes, you deserve the same for parenting. We provide real support for real parents through compassionate coaching that is informed by experience, brain science, and all the trauma-informed, evidence-based models you wish came with the baby. From SPACE and Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) to EFFT, CCI, and beyond, we integrate everything in a way that truly makes sense for your child—and your nervous system. This isn’t about perfect parenting; it’s about supportive parenting. Here, you don’t have to do it alone while honing your parenting skills.

Not sure what to say—or how to say it—when your child is melting down, refusing to listen, or spiraling with anxiety? We’re here to help with effective parenting coaching. We provide practical scripts, coaching, and tools rooted in trauma-informed, evidence-based parenting skills 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 dealing with explosive behaviors, anxiety, tricky transitions, or daily routines that just aren't working, you'll receive personalized support that truly 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 with supportive parenting.
