Parenting the Roller Coaster of Teens and Young Adults
The journey to happiness starts with seeking help.

What’s a parent to do?
Teens and young adults can struggle with complex emotions and uncertainty about who they truly are.
A teenager who won’t talk to you, spending most of their time at home in their room…
They hardly look at you.
What did you do wrong? They used to come to you with their problems and now… now communication is almost non-existent.
If you are raising a hypersensitive teen or have a highly sensitive young adult, discomfort is at an even higher level.
While you may relate to them from your own experience, it’s difficult to tolerate watching your child struggle.
Next steps may be on a slippery slope.
College is well in your rearview mirror. Perhaps you’ve been in your career for 15 – 20 years (or more!).
Being in the same job for several years may have stolen your enjoyment.
Then, that feeling of being dead inside bleeds into your relationships.
The exciting months of getting to know each other have turned into, “What do we have in common?” “Where is the connection between us?”
You can’t remember the last time you had fun.
People keep telling you to do more self-care. Nothing is helping.
Emotions are high.
And… emotions lead to bad decisions – or no decisions.
Your life could be static while you feel lost and without anything to guide you out of despair.
Unable to take a step in any direction, you are frozen with fear.
From frozen to happiness…
In our work together, you will learn how to get in touch with your intuition, as well as how to identify and manage emotions in healthy ways.
With this newfound understanding of yourself, you can experience genuine happiness as you gain the ability to regulate your emotions.
Together, we will work to uncover patterns and old beliefs that cause discomfort in your current roles, while developing a plan to move forward. This allows you to fully release the past and enjoy the present.
For parents, I teach tools to tolerate their own discomfort while guiding children in healthier ways.
With these skills creating confidence, parents are better able to meet their child where they are rather than reacting from a place of fear.
