Parent Coaching for Raising Teens & Young Adults
St. Louis, MO
Guiding Teens Today. Raising Healthy, Confident Adults Tomorrow.
Parenting teens and young adults can stretch you in ways you didn’t expect. You love your child deeply — and you may also feel frustrated, worried, exhausted, or unsure how to help without overstepping.
As they navigate independence, identity, and responsibility, it’s easy to slip into over-functioning, constant monitoring, or questioning yourself at every turn. You may look capable on the outside, yet feel overwhelmed and unsure behind closed doors.
Parent coaching offers a space to slow down, reflect, and respond with intention rather than urgency. This isn’t about being a perfect parent. It’s about showing up grounded, clear, and confident — while allowing your teen or young adult to grow into their own capable adulthood.
This May Sound Familiar
You feel exhausted from constantly managing your teen’s or young adult’s decisions and emotions, and you’re not sure where your role ends.
You want to guide and support them, but feel frustrated or guilty when boundaries are met with resistance.
You worry that setting limits will push them away, even though you know your guidance matters.
Your child is struggling with their own emotional challenges and may already be in therapy, and you’re unsure how to best support them without overstepping.
You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, scrolled social media for advice — and still feel stuck or hopeless.
You notice tension in your body — tight shoulders, racing thoughts, difficulty sleeping, or fatigue from always being “on.”
You wish you felt clearer, calmer, and more confident in how you’re parenting.
If this resonates, you’re not alone. Parenting older children brings a unique push-and-pull — wanting to protect them while also stepping back. That tension can be heavy to carry alone.
How We’ll Approach This Together
We will work together to:
Understanding Patterns
We explore family dynamics, communication habits, and emotional triggers that may be fueling conflict. When you understand the pattern, you can change how you respond.
Clear, Calm Boundaries
You’ll learn how to set limits without guilt, fear, or escalation — creating structure that supports growth rather than power struggles.
Practical Strategies
You’ll leave sessions with concrete tools to manage conflict, encourage responsibility, and reduce over-functioning.
Emotional Regulation & Support
We focus on calming your nervous system so you’re not parenting from anxiety or urgency. When you feel steadier, everything shifts.
This work blends reflection with strategy — helping you feel confident, grounded, and capable in the day-to-day reality of parenting teens and young adults.
Who This Is For
Parent coaching is for women who:
Are raising teens or young adults and feel unsure how to guide them
Struggle with boundaries or feel responsible for their child’s choices
Have a child navigating emotional or behavioral challenges
Feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained
Want to parent with more clarity, calm, and confidence
Are ready to strengthen connection while honoring their own wellbeing
You don’t have to sacrifice yourself to support your child.
Our Work Together
Our sessions create a steady, thoughtful space where you can speak honestly — without judgment. We slow things down, untangle what’s happening beneath the surface, and develop practical ways forward.
If your child is already in therapy, this work complements that process by focusing on your role, boundaries, and emotional experience. Parent coaching can feel more directive and strategy-oriented while still holding space for deeper reflection.
Over time, you’ll likely notice:
Less reactivity
More confidence in your decisions
Clearer communication
Reduced tension in your body
A stronger, healthier relationship with your teen or young adult
This isn’t about controlling the outcome. It’s about raising a healthy, functioning adult — while remaining healthy and whole yourself.
Begin with a Conversation
If this feels like what you need, we can start with a brief consultation. You’re welcome to ask questions, learn about my approach, and decide whether it feels like the right fit — with no pressure to move forward.
You deserve support in this season of parenting. And you don’t have to navigate it alone.
