You Don’t Have to Figure This Out Alone

 Parents come to me when they know something needs to change but aren’t sure what to do next.

You may be navigating:

  • âśż Anxiety, overwhelm, avoidance, or unhealthy coping
  • âśż ADHD or executive-function challenges
  • âśż Conflict, shutdown, or growing disconnection
  • âśż Academic, athletic, or social pressure
  • âśż A young adult struggling with independence or direction
  • âśż A painful rupture or estrangement with an adult child

Behavior is often the clue, not the problem. Together, we look beneath what is happening so you can respond with greater clarity, steadiness, and confidence.

What Parent Coaching With Me Looks Like

Coaching is personalized to your family, but you won’t be left with vague ideas or another list of parenting tips. We use the Move FORWARD™ Framework to understand the situation, identify priorities, and turn insight into practical next steps.

Personalized preparation
Before each session, I prepare an individualized overview based on our previous conversation, your progress, and any concerns or action items you have shared between appointments. If there is something specific you want to discuss, I incorporate it into our session plan.

Focused coaching sessions
We look at what may be driving the behavior, what is within your control, and what could help reduce pressure while strengthening connection and maintaining appropriate expectations.

Detailed summaries and clear action steps
After every session, I provide a detailed written summary that identifies areas of strength, ongoing challenges, key insights, and clear action steps. You have something practical to return to after the conversation ends.

Support tailored to your preferences
Some clients appreciate corresponding between appointments and receiving more structured preparation and follow-up. Others prefer to keep their coaching contained to scheduled sessions. We’ll choose the level of support that feels most useful to you.

Teen/Tween Parent Coaching

 

When Your Child Is Struggling, and You Don’t Know How to Help Without Making Things Worse 

When your tween/teen is anxious, overwhelmed, shutting down or struggling with expectations, it can be difficult to know how to help. Together, we’ll look beneath the behavior, reduce unhelpful pressure and identify practical ways to strengthen communication, coping and connection.

YOUR CHILD DOESN'T NEED TO BE FIXED.

YOUR FAMILY MAY NEED A CLEARER PATH FORWARD.

 


Parent Coaching For Parents of Young Adults 

Parenting a young adult today is different from parenting a younger child—and different from what many of us experienced when we were their age. The pressures are different, the path to independence is less predictable, and knowing when to step in and when to step back can be difficult.

This coaching is for you—the parent.

You may be navigating:

  • College burnout or academic pressure
  • Failure to launch or difficulty finding their footing
  • Anxiety, overwhelm, or a loss of direction
  • Emotional eating or disordered-eating concerns
  • Low motivation or feeling stuck
  • Distance, communication breakdown, or a relationship that feels more tense than connected

I’ll help you understand what may be happening beneath the struggle, support your young adult without taking over, and navigate this changing stage with greater clarity and confidence while strengthening your relationship.
