Understand What’s Behind Your Child’s Behavior.
Know What to Do Next.
Parent coaching for parents of teens and young adults navigating anxiety, overwhelm, unhealthy coping, conflict, disconnection, and the pressures of growing up. Using the Move FORWARD Framework, I help parents understand what may be beneath the behavior, reduce pressure, strengthen connection, and know what to do next.
When our child hurts, we hurt too.
I know this personally and professionally.
You’ve talked. Encouraged. Reminded. Set limits. Backed off. Stepped in.
And you may still be wondering:
- Why is my child having such a hard time?
- Am I helping, or making things harder?
- When do I step in, I give space, and what do I actually do next?
You don’t need another parenting rulebook. You need to understand what’s really happening.
BOOK A COMPLIMENTARY COACHING CALLBehavior is information.
Instead of asking only: “How do I stop this behavior?”
ask: “What might this behavior be telling me?”
When you understand what may be underneath, you can respond differently.

WHY WORK WITH ME?
Professional expertise.
Personal understanding
For more than 30 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of health, education, behavior change, and family wellbeing, as a health educator, parent coach, high school and college health teacher, author, and parent of three young adults.
I combine evidence-informed strategies, practical tools, and real-world parenting experience to help families understand what’s happening, reduce overwhelm, and find their next step FORWARD.
This isn’t about blame or perfect parenting. It’s about seeing the situation through a different lens and deciding what may help now.
“Your guidance—both as a coach and as a mom—is phenomenal. You offer such helpful tools and insights, and I always feel supported after our sessions. It’s truly a pleasure to work with you.”

“Siah's dedication, expertise, and genuine care for my family's well-being were very clear. From our first session, it was evident she had a deep understanding of the challenges I faced. She listened attentively and provided thoughtful advice. Siah empathized and connected with my unique circumstances. I felt comfortable expressing my deepest fears and concerns without judgment. Her warmth and compassion provided encouragement during difficult times and I now approach challenges with a more positive mindset and feel equipped to nurture a healthy, loving relationship with my child.”
