1:1 Strategy sessions-Personalized Parent coaching

Sometimes you need more than a guide. You need someone who understands your specific siutation and can help you navigate it in real time. This is perfect for parents who are exhausted from trying to figure this out alone and want guidance tailored to their family.

What makes these sessions different? I bring 30 years of experience working with teens as a licensed therapist, as well as former guidance counselor and educator. I'm also a mom of three who's lived this. In our sessions, I focus on helping you find practical strategies grounded in clinical expertise and real-world experience. We focus on what you can actually do today.

In our sessions, we work together to:

Identify the patters keeping you stuck

And also help you to identify patterns in your teenager that get in the way of connection and communication
