Thriving Parents.
Parenting teenagers can be a lonely and challenging endeavor. Parents feel tremendous pressures to ensure their child is learning and doing the right things to prepare them well for their future. At the same time, their teen is experiencing their own pressures, riding an often volatile emotional rollercoaster, and seeking their own independent identity. It's an overwhelming time for parents!
​​​
Many parents rely on strategies from their own upbringing, but today’s environment is vastly different from the past. While resources abound for parents of infants and younger children, support through the teenager years is limited. Yet, these are some of the most pivotal years in preparing your child for adulthood and developing lasting relationships with them.​
​​​
I guide parents through the challenges of the teenage years, empowering them to align their parenting with their values, while confidently supporting their teens through high school and beyond. I coach parents in building a supportive family culture and clear systems that foster their teens' healthy growth into responsible, resilient, and independent young adults.​​​​
