We Are Parents

Each of us at Sound Parent Coaching is a parent and has experienced the many joys and challenges of raising children. We have children ranging in age from first grade to adulthood. We are familiar with many of the issues facing today's parents such as ADHD, adolescent depression, sensory integration, single parenting, spirited children, at risk youth, and the transitions that accompany high school graduation.

Each of our coaches brings a varied background and wealth of knowledge to the coaching relationship. For specific information on each of our coaches, please visit our bio pages.
