Meet Pam — Parent Coach & Family Support Specialist
Hi! I'm Pam.
I'm a mom of two adult children and am "like a mom" to two additional adults who have experienced significant developmental trauma. Like every parent, I've experienced both joys and challenges along the way.
I wish I had discovered the Connected Families Framework when my children were young. It would have helped me parent more effectively and build even stronger connections with my kids. Still, I'm grateful that through my own growth and work with this framework, I enjoy close, though certainly not perfect, relationships with my children today.
I work with parents who...
• Want a more connected relationship with their children
• Are struggling with challenging behaviors
• Are raising children from hard places, including adoption, foster care, and developmental trauma
• Want to parent with greater confidence and intentionality
• Simply want practical tools and encouragement for the everyday challenges of family life

"My biggest problem with parenting classes is feeling judged. I felt no judgment from Pam, just complete understanding."
"We are so glad we decided to do this coaching program with Pam. She was so patient and we could tell how much she truly cared about us and our situation..."
