Parent coaching focuses on practical tools and emotional support to help you respond to your child’s challenges with confidence and calm. Unlike therapy, which looks into diagnosing or treating conditions, coaching is action-oriented, goal-focused, and designed to strengthen your parenting skills right now.

I coach parents of tweens, teens, and young adults dealing with substance use, mental health struggles, or behavioral challenges. Many parents I support feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure how to respond, and seek guidance rooted in both science and lived experience.

Equanimity means staying steady, calm, and compassionate, even when your child’s choices or emotions feel overwhelming. In parenting, this balance allows you to respond effectively without getting pulled into chaos or conflict.

My families journey through substance use disorder, and walking that path showed me firsthand how isolating and confusing it can feel. Today, I combine evidence-based strategies with my personal journey to give parents both professional tools and authentic understanding.

Most coaching is offered online for flexibility and privacy. Local in-person sessions and workshops are available in Georgia when scheduled.

Parents can usually schedule their first session within a week. Intake is simple, book a call, complete a short questionnaire, and you’ll be ready to begin.
