Rooted Connections Coaching
Because parenting asks more of your heart than anything else ever will.
You love your kids more than anything.
And yet… parenting still feels heavier than you ever imagined.
You're tired of snapping, tired of second-guessing, tired of feeling like you're messing it all up.
You're drowning in advice that contradicts itself.
You're exhausted from trying so hard and still ending your days feeling guilty.
You don't need more noise.
You need support that actually sees you.
Welcome to the place where that happens.
Real Support for Real Parents — From Toddler Chaos to Teen Storms
Whether you're battling bedtime with a 3-year-old, navigating potty training power struggles, dealing with hitting and meltdowns, managing sibling warfare, or trying to connect with a shut-down tween — we meet you exactly where you are.
This isn't behavior charts, sticker systems, or "just be consistent."
This is nervous-system-centered, attachment-first support that helps you understand what's really happening beneath the behaviors — in your child, and in you.
We help you:
Stay calm when everything in your body wants to yell
Break generational patterns without swinging to the opposite extreme
Hold boundaries without guilt or shame
Build emotional safety that changes your child's future
Stop overthinking and start parenting with confidence and intuition
Become the grounded parent you want to be — even when life is chaos
You're not failing.
You're overwhelmed… and under-supported.
We fix that.
For All Parents:
You're stuck in a cycle of yelling → guilt → promising yourself you'll do better → yelling again
Your home feels tense and reactive
You want connection, not control — but you don't know how to get there
You're parenting the opposite of how you were raised, but you feel lost without a roadmap
There's nothing wrong with you.
You just need someone who understands nervous systems, attachment, child development, and the emotional weight of parenthood.
You need someone who can walk with you.
That's what we do here.
For the Parents Who Are Trying So Hard — And Still Feel Lost
If any of these feel painfully familiar, you're in the right place:
For Parents of Toddlers & Young Children:
Bedtime is a 2-hour battle and you're too exhausted to function
Potty training has become a power struggle (or you're terrified to start)
Your toddler hits, bites, or has explosive tantrums and you don't know if it's "normal"
You're drowning in wake-ups and your whole family is falling apart from sleep deprivation
For Parents of Big Kids & Teens:
Your child's big emotions feel bigger than your capacity
Your child shuts down, melts down, or spirals and you have no idea what to do
Sibling rivalry is breaking your heart
You spend your nights Googling "how to stay calm" or "how to stop my child from ___"
What Makes Rooted Connections Coaching Different
We don't teach you to control behavior.
We help you transform the relationship.
Because when connection changes, everything else changes.
As a practitioner certified in Child-Centered Play Methods (CCPT) with a background in psychology and years of supporting families through their hardest moments, I bring a deeper understanding of how children process emotions, build resilience, and communicate through play.
This isn't just coaching — it's trauma-informed, developmentally-grounded support for your whole family.
We combine:
Attachment science
Nervous system regulation
Child-Centered Play Therapy principles
Temperament & emotional wiring
Parent mindset work
Internal Family Systems-informed work (Parts Work)
Practical scripts & in-the-moment strategies
This is support for the whole parent — your history, your triggers, your hopes, your fears, your beliefs, your exhaustion, your heart.
You don't need to “do better”.
You need a regulated, supported nervous system.
We help you create that.
How We Can Support You
-
Deep, personalized support to help you create lasting change in your family.
Perfect if you're navigating:
Aggression, hitting, screaming
Power struggles at any age
Sibling rivalry that's tearing your family apart
Emotional dysregulation (in your child or in yourself)
Your own triggers, guilt, and exhaustion
Feeling stuck and needing someone to help you see what you can't see
You'll learn real tools — not scripts that fall apart when your kid does something unexpected. We work together to understand your unique family dynamics and create strategies that actually fit your life.
-
Your child deserves rest. So do you.
Whether you're dealing with toddler bedtime battles, tween sleep resistance, teen sleep schedule chaos, or the unique sleep challenges that come with neurodivergence or special needs — we can help.
If bedtime is a nightly battle, if wake-ups are destroying your sanity, if your teen is up until 3am, if your child's special needs make sleep feel impossible — you're not alone, and there are solutions.
As a certified pediatric sleep consultant for ages 0-17 AND special needs sleep certified, I bring specialized expertise to even the most complex sleep situations.
This isn't cry-it-out or rigid schedules that ignore your child's temperament and wiring. This is attachment-focused, nervous-system-aware sleep support that honors your parenting values and your child's unique needs while helping everyone get the rest they desperately need.
-
Potty training doesn't have to be a power struggle.
Whether you're just starting, stuck in the middle, or dealing with regression, we'll help you navigate this milestone with confidence, patience, and way less stress.
We help you read your child's readiness cues, set up your environment for success, and handle accidents and resistance without shame or pressure.
We walk with you every step of the way and give you the exact tools and strategies that you need to be successful with potty training your little one.
-
Sometimes children can't tell us what they're feeling — but they can show us through play.
As a coach certified in CCPT principals,
CCPT is particularly powerful for children experiencing:
Anxiety or big fears
Behavioral challenges
Difficulty with transitions or changes
Emotional overwhelm
Processing difficult experiences

Imagine Home Feeling Like This…
Mornings that don't begin with chaos
Bedtime that doesn't take two hours and end in tears
A child who feels safe coming to you with their big emotions
A parent (you!) who responds instead of reacts
Fewer power struggles, fewer battles, fewer explosions
A home that feels calmer, softer, more connected
A version of you that finally feels like enough
This isn't unrealistic.
It's what happens when parents get support — real support, not judgment or generic advice.
You Don't Have to Do This Alone
Every parent hits a breaking point.
Only the brave ones reach out.
You're here, which means something in you knows it's time to find your grounding again — time to parent from the middle instead of the extremes.
And we're here to help you do exactly that.
Not Sure Which Support Option Is Right for You?
When the world feels loud and you're lost in the noise…
we'll help you find your path forward.
