COACHING

Giving parents the tools to succeed

Are you ready to level up your parenting? After helping hundreds of families, I've seen firsthand that coaching helps parents to gain confidence and clarity. There's less arguing and better conversation. Your teen is happier. And the beauty is that coaching doesn't have to take forever. A few small tweaks can make a massive difference.

Drawing on my experience as an adolescent medicine specialist, I coach parents in largely the same way that I practice medicine--starting with mutual submission, engaging in real talk, and sharing actionable ideas informed by both mental and physical health best practices. I'd love to work with you too.
