I see you parent, you don't have to carry this alone.

When your teen is struggling, it can feel like you're carrying the fear, worry, responsibility, and uncertainty all by yourself.

The sleepless nights. The second-guessing. The exhaustion of trying everything you know to do while wondering if it's enough.

You deserve support, too.

Through personalized 1:1 coaching, I'll help you navigate this challenging season with greater clarity, confidence, and hope, so you can stop carrying it all alone and start moving forward with a plan.

You don't have to have all the answers. You just need someone who understands the road you're walking and can help guide the way.

1:1 Parent Support Coaching (Out of the Shadows Program)

Support for the parent behind the struggling teen.

When your teen is struggling, it's easy to lose yourself in the worry, uncertainty, and constant responsibility of trying to help.

You don't have to carry it alone.

My 1:1 coaching program provides a safe, supportive space where you can process what you're experiencing, gain practical guidance, and develop a clear path forward for yourself and your family.


Together, We Will:

✓ Make sense of what is happening beneath the surface

✓ Identify patterns that may be keeping your family stuck

✓ Explore strategies that align with your values and parenting goals

✓ Strengthen your confidence in navigating difficult situations

✓ Create a plan that feels realistic, manageable, and supportive

✓ Ensure you have a place where you feel heard, understood, and supported


This Is More Than Coaching.

This is a place where you can set down the weight you've been carrying.

A place to speak openly about the fear, exhaustion, grief, uncertainty, or overwhelm that often comes with parenting through difficult seasons.

A place where you don't have to explain why you're tired.

You don't have to convince someone that what you're carrying is hard.

You don't have to do it alone.

Why I Do This Work

I know how isolating it can feel when your teen is struggling.

Parents often carry an enormous amount of worry, fear, responsibility, and uncertainty behind closed doors while trying to remain strong for everyone else.

The mission of the Lighthouse Project and the 1:1 Out of the Shadows Program is to provide the support, guidance, and understanding that so many parents desperately need during life's most challenging seasons.

Through a combination of professional expertise, lived experience, and deep compassion, I help parents feel less alone, more confident, and better equipped to navigate the road ahead.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is coaching the same as therapy?

No. Coaching is different from therapy. Coaching focuses on support, guidance, education, skill-building, and helping you navigate your current challenges and goals. If therapeutic support is needed, I can help you identify appropriate resources.

Do I need my teen to participate?

No. This coaching is designed specifically for parents. Many parents find that changes in their own understanding, confidence, and approach can positively impact the family system as a whole.

What if I'm not sure coaching is right for me?

That's exactly why I offer a consultation call. We'll talk about what's going on, what support you're looking for, and whether this feels like a good fit.

What kinds of challenges do parents come to you with?

Parents often seek support when navigating trauma, sexual assault, grief, mental health concerns, self-harm, risky behaviors including substance use, major life transitions, or simply the overwhelm of parenting through a difficult season.

Is support available virtually?

Yes. Coaching sessions are offered virtually, allowing parents to receive support from wherever they are. In addition, I offer in person support at my office located in Pittsburgh, PA

What if I feel like I've already tried everything?

Many parents come to coaching feeling exhausted and out of options. Sometimes what they need isn't another strategy. They need support, a trusted sounding board, and someone to help them make sense of what they're carrying.
