Manage Mood & Anxiety: Understand how you can support your teen through stress, anxiety, and emotional ups and downs.
Set Specific, Measurable Goals: Don’t just hope and pray things get better; set goals and objectives to achieve the outcomes you want.

“Ginny, you have a real gift, and your simple, practical, firm but kind support makes a huge difference.”

Why Work With Me?
In the last 10 years, I’ve helped hundreds of parents navigate the hardest parts of raising teenagers. I bring experience and specialized training in supporting families dealing with anxiety, eating disorders, ODD, PTSD, BPD, OCD, and other challenges, so you’ll have smart, science-backed strategies you can actually use at home.
A Personal Story That Fuels My Work
I wasn’t an easy teenager. I remember feeling lost, angry, and misunderstood. My parents wanted to help, but felt confused and overwhelmed by my big emotions.
When I became a parent, I delved deeply into learning everything I could about effective and compassionate parenting. Now, I bring that knowledge and experience to parents worldwide who are struggling with the same questions my family once faced.
“Honestly, I thought we were beyond hope, but not anymore. With Ginny’s parent coaching, I feel confident for the first time since we hit puberty!”

Ready to Get Support for Your Teen?
Parents come to me in the midst of daily battles, power struggles, and overwhelming stress and burnout. Together, we create a path toward calm, respect, and connection. I’ve helped families:
- Move from constant chaos to more peaceful homes
- Break free from stuck patterns and power struggles
- Improve communication and restore trust
- Understand complex diagnoses (like ADHD, autism, addiction, OCD, and eating disorders) and respond in ways that truly help
- Rebuild strong, lasting bonds with their teenagers
You don’t have to stay stuck in conflict. With the right support, you and your teen can find your way back to connection, respect, and even joy.
FAQs
What exactly does a parent coach do?
A parent coach helps you navigate the challenges of raising a teenager by giving you tools, strategies, and support you can use right away. Unlike reading advice online, coaching is personal — we’ll focus on your teen, your family, and your goals so you can move from daily conflict to calmer, more respectful connections.
How is parent coaching different from therapy?
Therapy is often focused on diagnosing or treating mental health conditions. Parent coaching, on the other hand, is action-oriented and practical. We’ll work together on specific situations at home — power struggles, disrespect, defiance, or communication breakdowns — so you feel more confident handling your teen’s behavior day-to-day.
Do you work with the teen, or just the parent?
I coach parents only, because you have the most influence in your teen’s life. When you change your approach, the whole dynamic in the family shifts. My work is about equipping you with the tools to create lasting change.
Will coaching still help if my teen refuses to change?
Yes. Even if your teen seems resistant, parent coaching gives you new ways to respond that can reduce conflict and open the door to better communication. You don’t need your teen to be on board for you to make meaningful progress at home.
What kinds of challenges can you help with?
I help parents whose teens are dealing with issues like defiance, anger, disrespect, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, autism, substance use, eating disorders, or simply being “out of control.” Together, we’ll find strategies that reduce chaos, improve communication, and strengthen your bond with your teen.
Do you work with parents outside the U.S.?
Yes. While most of my clients are in the U.S., I coach parents around the world through online sessions. No matter where you live, you can get the support you need.
