With nearly 3 decades of personal parenting experience & 25 years of guiding hundreds of parents through the highs and lows of parenthood, I’m a passionate Teen Parenting Coach, dedicated to helping parents raise their adolescents with heart & purpose to transform them into empathetic, resilient and responsible adults.Why I Became a Parent Coach?Now, I’ve been where many parents are — sleepless nights, emotional roller coasters, and wondering if you’re doing it right. Raising my two kids taught me that the parent-teen relationship not only deserves more care and attention than it is given but a sprinkle of humor too! That’s why I’ve devoted myself to helping other parents navigate the delicate and crucial teenage years without losing their minds (or their patience).My Approach?I specialize in strengthening parent-teen relationships by helping parents understand their child's perspectives to build trust that lasts a lifetime. Through my 12 PM Framework, I guide/coach parents to connect deeply with their teens, fostering open communication, empathy, and positive discipline.Here’s how I do it!- Strengthening Parent-Teen Connections: I guide parents in building emotional bonds that foster trust, so your teen feels understood, not just managed.- Fostering Open Communication: I offer practical strategies for honest, judgment-free conversations, even when you're talking to a moody teen whose vocabulary has suddenly shrunk to ‘bruh’ and ‘whatever.’- Developing Positive Discipline Strategies: Forget punishment! I’ll help you shift to respectful, growth-oriented discipline strategies that encourage your teen to take responsibility while keeping their dignity intact.- Empowering Confident and Responsible Teens: My coaching will empower you to build your teen's self-esteem so they are able to face the future with confidence and accountability, instead of just waiting for life to ‘chill.’My Philosophy?There’s no one-size-fits-all in parenting. Every family is unique, and I tailor my coaching to fit the values and dynamics of yours. At the end of the day, we’re not just raising kids; we’re shaping the next generation of responsible, kind-hearted adults.Well, isn’t that the goal? Let's all keep parenting with heart & purpose (and the occasional eye-roll!🙃)P.S.: On the side, I freelance as a voice-over artist and stage compere for events — a little bonus from my years of travelling around the country as an Army wife!🎤
