For over two decades, I’ve worked alongside parents navigating the unpredictable, often overwhelming journey of raising teens and young adults. My background in college mental health and family coaching has given me a front-row seat to the struggles parents face—feeling unappreciated, misunderstood, and sometimes at a loss for how to connect with the person their child is becoming. I’ve seen firsthand how easy it is for expectations and assumptions to get in the way of truly seeing and supporting our teens, and how hard it can be to find practical, compassionate guidance in those tough moments.
My own journey as a daughter, parent and professional has taught me that the transition to adolescence isn’t just about our kids growing up—it’s about us growing, too. I’ve spent years studying evidence-based approaches like DBT and I’ve helped countless parents learn to regulate their own emotions, communicate more effectively, and nurture empathy for both their teens and themselves.
I created this app because I wanted parents to have a coach in their pocket—something to turn to in the heat of the moment, when emotions run high and it’s hard to know what to do next. This app is built on the belief that every parent deserves support, understanding, and practical tools to weather the teen transition with confidence and compassion.
My hope is that this app helps you feel seen in your struggles, empowers you to champion your teen’s autonomy, and guides you toward a more connected, resilient relationship with your child—and with yourself. You’re not alone on this journey, and I’m honored to walk alongside you.
