EMPOWERING PARENTS TO CULTIVATE CONNECTED FAMILIES
Truth + Grace Parent Coaching equips
struggling parents with grace-filled strategies
to handle behavioral challenges confidently.
Are you worn out, confused, or angered
by your child's behavior?
​
If your child is strong-willed, sensitive, and intense
then typical parenting methods simply do not "work."
​
You may be feeling guilt or shame about the kind of parent you have become and don't know how to stop yelling and get unstuck.
​
If you want to enjoy your child again, motivate them towards better behavior, and experience deeper family connections - welcome here!
​
There IS hope and Parent Coaching can help.​

I help overwhelmed parents by teaching effective, grace-filled strategies for correcting behavior while maintaining security, love, and connection with their child using the
Connected Families Framework.
About Me
With a decade of experience serving families as a social worker and in ministry settings, I love using my knowledge and personal experiences to equip and empower parents with practical skills, strategies, and scripts based in brain-science and biblical teaching through personalized Parent Coaching.​
​
I'm a sensitive and intense mom raising three sensitive and intense kids. I am learning to continually receive God's grace and truth for myself so I can pass that grace and truth on to my children. The Connected Families parenting framework has been an invaluable guide as I navigate behavioral challenges with my own kids and I trust it will immensely transform your family, too!
​
I love sharing the Connected Families Framework with other parents through one-on-one coaching sessions and workshops.​ I specialize in children's mental health and trauma prevention.
Find the support you need.
Personalized support and guidance for your unique family. I'll work with you to identify your specific challenges and create a plan to address them utilizing the Connected Families Framework.
Online Groups
Virtual small groups are a great way to go deeper into the session materials while processing, practicing, and gaining accountability for the techniques you'll learn to apply in your own family.

Luisa, mom of 3
Skylar is a wonderful listener and a talented and experienced coach. Her knowledge and understanding of the framework are evident in the way she walks through the sessions. She brings new insights, encouragement and powerful strategies to aid in parenting challenges.
It is a true gift to be coached by her.
KrisAnn, mom and ministry leader
I have learned to slow down and really watch my own anxiety level. My son would melt down when I rushed him out the door. Skylar encouraged me to ask him questions about when he feels most safe and loved. This really helped us talk through how we were triggering each other, and we strategized ways to help each other in the morning. This has worked VERY well for us.
Parents of 2, Tennessee
Learning the Connected Families Framework was incredibly helpful! In working with Skylar, we could tell she truly cared about our family and needs. We have definitely noticed improvements in the way we all communicate with each other.
Samantha and Peter
We can't recommend parent coaching enough! It has just given us so much peace and confidence and we are so grateful!
Belinda, Mom of 2
Being a single mom of 2 boys and going through a traumatic experience took me away from what I really need to focus on and that was the kids. Parent coaching helped me gain confidence and structure without feeling guilty. Through coaching, challenges in the home with behaviors have become less stressful and still allows for me to show up and love them even more. Understanding each other and finding a solution together has been the best! I will continue to use the skills I learned and tools that I gained to support my children in learning and growing with me.
