Raising teens and supporting young adults is challenging under the best circumstances—but for many families, mental health struggles add another layer of stress. Anxiety, depression, ADHD, or emotional dysregulation can leave both parents and teens feeling powerless, frustrated, and disconnected.
You might be wondering:
Am I doing enough to help my teen?
How do I stay patient when emotions are running high?
Will my teen be ready for life transitions like missions, college, or independence?
Without guidance, these challenges can spiral—creating tension, disconnection, and self-doubt for the whole family. Learn how coaching can help your family today.

I know what it’s like to lie awake at night replaying conversations, wondering if you’re doing enough—or if you’re saying the wrong thing. I know the weight of loving your kids deeply while feeling unsure how to help when emotions run high or things feel off.
As a mom of five, I’ve experienced the very real challenges of raising teens and young adults in today’s world. Through that journey, I learned something that changed everything: love and effort aren’t always enough—skills matter.
Today, I help parents, teens, and young adults build the emotional tools they were never taught—tools that reduce overwhelm, strengthen confidence, and restore connection at home. My work is about practical support, steady guidance, and helping families find calm and hope again, even in hard seasons.
