A parent coach’s job is to motivate and guide you toward being the parent you want your children to remember. I’m a PCI Certified Parent Coach® whose passion is helping families with children who have experienced trauma or struggle with attachment.

I started The Foster Lane Parent Coaching in 2016. My goal: Use coaching to help others avoid some of the parenting challenges my own family faced.

I’ve spent over 1,500 hours researching trauma, children’s brain development, parenting strategies, as well as foster and adoptive parenting. I successfully completed the graduate-level Parent Coach Certification program through the Parent Coaching Institute®, have completed the initial training in Theraplay™, and continue to attend conferences on trauma-informed parenting.

Plus, I have plenty of life experience. I’ve navigated and parented through...

  • Challenging co-parent interactions
  • Mental health crises
  • Rages/violent outbursts
  • Developmental delays
  • Cognitive delays
  • Manipulative behaviors
  • Challenges with routine and getting out of the house
  • Bedtime trauma reactions

I’ve lived and learned with kids who’ve had...

  • Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)
  • Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED)
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  • Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
  • Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD)
  • Internalization of Behaviors
  • Externalization of Behaviors
  • Anxiety
  • And much more…

What Parents Say After Coaching With Me

Sarah has an exceptional ability to pull the good out of you. I continuously felt lifted up and empowered that I have the ability to change, reach my goals and have a fulfilling life. She articulated on a number of occasions what she felt my strengths were and commended me for them. Everyone needs a cheerleader like Sarah.

Working with Sarah was a wonderful experience. Sarah is infectiously motivational, positive and very professional. I felt completely at ease sharing stories of family struggles and received great ideas and tools that could be easily implemented. I left our appointments feeling inspired, optimistic and motivated.
