Family Centered Coaching

Family-centered coaching

When your child is spiraling, it can feel like the entire household is being held hostage. I work with parents of teens and young adults—many with serious mental illness, substance use, or behavioral volatility—who are trying to regain clarity, authority, and stability. I help you hold the line, even when your child is threatening, manipulating, or in crisis. We work toward a parenting stance that is loving, boundaried, and grounded in the long game—not the emotional emergency of the day.

This work often includes:

• Creating a unified parental stance when you feel fragmented or in survival mode

• Holding limits without guilt—even when your child is collapsing or raging

• Understanding what your child’s behavior is communicating (and what it’s not)

• Reducing rescuing, overexplaining, or walking on eggshells

• Coaching through crises, manipulation, threats, or suicide preoccupation

• Navigating transitions like returning home, leaving treatment, or resisting care

• Supporting co-parents—together or separately—in holding a clear boundary

This is not reactive parenting advice. This is strategic, steady support when your child’s behavior destabilizes everything.
