PARENT CONSULTING

Strategies, Tactics, Skills and Tips

My parent consulting service is for parents who need more advanced strategies on how to best support their college kid struggling with anxiety, depression or substance abuse. I empower you with specific tools and strategies to handle any situation while your son or daughter is away at college. Simply the best service when the family needs help focusing on what matters most.

Families are complex systems that sometimes need outside guidance. Personalized parenting brings out the best in each family member and encourages your son or daughter to maximize their time and your investment in their education. I use evidence-based practices to teach healthier communication, boundary setting, and coping skills. This is what I do.

  • Learn to set boundaries and support your struggling child from a distance
  • Establish financial, emotional, academic and work expectations congruent with your kid’s needs
  • Experience a more balanced and nurturing relationship. It’s time to start creating happy memories again.
