Therapeutic Parent Coaching To Navigate Adolescent Years

With over 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist specializing in couples, intimacy, group dynamics, and individual therapy, I take a holistic approach to healing and personal growth. I have helped individuals and couples navigate relational challenges, deepen emotional and physical intimacy, and break through patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My work has been grounded in fostering authentic connection—whether within romantic relationships or personal development.

I also have the privilege to facilitate groups where I cultivate a deeply supportive space for collective insight, shared experiences, and meaningful transformation. I am continually inspired by the power of human connection—how growth accelerates when people come together to be seen, heard, and supported. This dynamic space is a portal for healing, self-discovery, and lasting change.

Through the years my focus has shifted from general psychotherapy for individuals and couples to a more specialized approach in the psychology of parenting and building connection.

I blend my foundation in psychotherapy with a coaching approach to equip parents of all genders with strategies, developmental insights, and the confidence to navigate the challenges of raising preteens and teenagers.

We will identify limiting beliefs, shed outdated survival strategies, and develop new skills. I offer both the depth of therapy and the direct, skills-based support of coaching, helping parents foster strong, connected relationships with their children; insight + action = purposeful change.

Above all, I believe in the power of humility, humor, and a little levity—because in the journey of parenting, a good laugh can go a long way.

Deb’s life work with mother and preteen and teenager relationships is incredibly insightful, super compassionate and such a comfort. She is an expert in this field and I didn’t have any idea how much being a part of The Mother Daughter Journey would influence my relationship with my 13 year old girl. I’m grateful I had a chance to to experience Deb’s expertise!
