You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Sometimes reading resources isn’t enough. Sometimes you need a real conversation with someone who understands — not just clinically, but personally. Someone who has navigated a child’s mental health crisis while holding down a demanding career, and who can help you find your footing.

That’s what I offer.

I work with parents who are carrying all of it: the terror of a teen who is self-harming or suicidal. The sleepless nights wondering if you’re doing enough. The grief of watching your child struggle with drugs, an eating disorder, raging episodes, or a complete shutdown. The impossible task of showing up at work while your world is falling apart at home.

If that’s you — you don’t have to figure this out alone.


Free Intro Call

Book a free 20-minute intro call.

This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s a conversation. I’ll listen to what you’re going through, share what helped our family, and help you think about what support might be right for yours.

Some parents walk away from the call with a clearer sense of direction and resources to explore. Some decide coaching is the right next step. Either way, you’ll leave with something you didn’t have before: the experience of talking to someone who truly gets it.

I keep 3–5 intro call slots open each week.

1:1 Coaching

For parents who want deeper, ongoing support.

Coaching is for the parent who is carrying all of it — the fear, the logistics, the emotional weight, the professional demands — and needs a dedicated space to process, strategize, and build skills.

Together, we work on what’s most pressing for you. That might include:

How it works: Coaching engagements run for 6 weeks — one session per week. This gives us enough time to go deep, build skills, and see real change. We meet via Zoom. Between sessions, you have access to me for questions and check-ins.

This is coaching, not therapy. I help you build skills, process your experience, and take action. I do not diagnose or treat. If clinical care is needed, I’ll help you find the right referral.

A Note on How I Work

I’m not a therapist. I’m an ICF-credentialed executive coach, a parent with lived experience, and someone who has spent years studying how people build skills and navigate change — through coaching, through DBT, through mindfulness, and through hard-won personal experience.

I work with parents with warmth, directness, and a deep belief that you already have more capability than you think — especially on the days when everything feels impossible. My job is to help you access it.


Frequently Asked Questions

Is this therapy?
No. I’m an ICF-credentialed executive coach, not a therapist. I don’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions. What I offer is a structured space to process your experience, build skills, and take action — alongside someone who has personal and professional experience with exactly what you’re going through. If clinical care is needed for you or your teen, I’ll help you find the right referrals.
Do I need to know anything about DBT to work with you?
Not at all. Many parents come to me having never heard of DBT. I’ll meet you wherever you are.
My teen doesn’t have a diagnosis yet. Can I still work with you?
Yes. You don’t need a diagnosis — yours or your teen’s — to get support. If you’re a worried parent who knows something is wrong, that’s enough.
What if my teen is in active crisis right now?
If your teen is in immediate danger, please contact 988 or your nearest emergency room first. Once things are somewhat stable, I’m here. Many of the parents I work with are in the thick of it — that’s exactly when having support matters most.
Do you work with parents of younger children, or only teens?
My focus is parents of teens and young adults (roughly ages 11–25), which reflects my own experience and training. If your child is outside that range, reach out anyway — I’ll let you know if I’m the right fit or point you toward someone who is.
