Stop the Power Struggles.
Start Parenting with Confidence.

Parent coaching helps parents of strong-willed kids stop power struggles, reduce yelling, and create more peace at home.

Unlike therapy, parent coaching is practical, short-term, and focused on real-life situations like getting kids in the car, ending screen time, and following through without over-explaining.

The goal isn’t perfect parenting.
It’s calm leadership, clearer boundaries, and confidence about what to do next.

Raise Resilient, Independent Kids Without Therapy

Parenting a strong-willed child doesn’t mean yelling, giving in, or feeling like a failure.

You’re not too soft.
You’re not too harsh.

You just need a clearer strategy, fewer words, and support that works in real life not just in theory.

You don’t have to react perfectly in every moment to be a good parent.

Tried Gentle Parenting… and It Backfired? You’re Not Alone.

If you’ve tried gentle parenting — and still feel like nothing works with your child — you’re not doing anything wrong.

Most parenting advice is built for:

  • kids who respond quickly

  • parents who can talk things through in the moment

  • and situations that aren’t emotionally charged

That’s not real life for families with strong-willed kids.

And it’s especially not designed for moments when:

  • emotions are high

  • negotiations never end

  • and you just need things to move, stop, or happen

When those approaches fall apart, parents often swing to the extremes:

  • yelling

  • punishing

  • or giving in just to keep the peace

Not because they want to 
but because they don’t have a clear alternative.

There is another way; one that doesn’t require constant talking, perfect calm, or reacting immediately.

Parent Coaching That Works — Without the Therapy Label

I’m a certified parenting coach and Georgia educator, trusted by therapists and professionals across the state.
I’ve been helping families since 2009 move from survival mode into calm, confident leadership.

This work is not therapy.

It’s practical coaching focused on:

✅ what to say

✅ when to stop talking

✅ when to pause

✅ and how to follow through calmly

When we work together, parents learn how to:

💚 set limits that stick (without yelling or over-explaining)

💚 stop power struggles before they escalate

💚 create more consistency and peace at home

💚 lead with confidence instead of anxiety

I’m not here to diagnose or analyze.

I’m here to help you handle real-life parenting moments calmly, clearly, and without guilt.

Work 1:1 with a Parenting Coach In Atlanta or Virtually

I work one-on-one with parents in Atlanta and with families across the country through virtual coaching.

This is hands-on support for real-life parenting, not generic advice or scripts pulled from a book.

When we work together, you can expect:

  • coaching tailored to your child and your family

  • support between sessions, so you’re not stuck in the moment

  • clear language you can use right away

  • guidance that helps you decide when to act and when to pause

This work is especially helpful for parents who:

  • feel emotionally drained by daily power struggles

  • talk more than they want to — and get less cooperation

  • second-guess their decisions

  • want to feel calmer and more confident leading their family

For Atlanta-area families, in-home support is available when it’s helpful. (Travel fees apply.)

I’m here to help you lead with clarity. Not guilt, pressure, or perfection.

You Don’t Have to Decide Right Now

If you’re reading this carefully, that’s a good sign.

It means you’re not reacting out of frustration, you’re thinking about what kind of support would actually help your family.

Most parents who work with me:

  • don’t book immediately

  • take time to read

  • notice what resonates

  • and then talk it through

That’s exactly how this should work.

You don’t need more advice.
You don’t need to rush into anything.

You just need a clearer plan and support that fits your real life.

When you’re ready, the next step will still be here.

Choose the Level of Support That Fits Your Family

You don’t need to pick the “right” option right now.

Most parents start by noticing which level of support feels:

  • doable

  • grounding

  • and appropriate for where they are

Here’s a simple way to think about the options...

The Family Reset

Most parents start here.

An 8-week coaching package designed for parents who want calmer days, fewer power struggles, and more confidence in their decisions. 

This is the right fit if:

  • parenting feels emotionally draining

  • your child is strong-willed or reactive

  • consistency is hard to maintain

  • you want support while you practice new skills

The Family Reset provides enough structure to create change without overwhelming you.

One focused issue

A single, in-depth session for parents who want clarity on one specific situation and a clear plan to move forward.

This option works best if:

  • one issue feels urgent

  • you want direction fast

  • you’re exploring coaching before committing

Book a Breakthrough Session

Longer-term support

This is my most comprehensive option, designed for families who want deeper, ongoing coaching and hands-on support over time.

This option may be a good fit if:

  • challenges are long-standing or complex

  • your family needs more intensive guidance

  • you value continuity and long-term structure

This program is offered by conversation only to ensure it’s the right fit.

Not Sure Which Option Fits?

That’s normal.

Most parents don’t decide immediately. They read, think about it, and then talk it through when they’re ready.

If you’d like help choosing the level of support that makes sense for your family right now, we can do that calmly and without pressure.

Common Questions

Do both parents need to participate?

Not always. Change can start with one parent. When one adult leads calmly and consistently, the dynamic shifts — and other caregivers often follow once they see the results.

How quickly do parents notice change?

Many parents feel relief quickly because they stop reacting in the moment. Change builds as consistency grows — not overnight, but steadily.

Is this therapy?

No. This is practical parent coaching focused on real-life situations, clear language, and confident follow-through — not diagnosis or clinical treatment.

What if I’m not sure which option is right?

That’s exactly what the conversation is for. We’ll talk through what’s going on and decide together — no pressure, no rush.

A Steadier Way Forward

You don’t need to fix everything today.
You don’t need to react immediately.
And you don’t need to be calmer than you already are.

What changes things is having:

  • a clearer plan

  • fewer words

  • and support that fits your real life

When you’re ready to take the next step, we’ll slow it down, talk it through, and decide together what makes sense.
