Get Help Navigating the Parent-Adult Child Relationship
We meet via Zoom, an online video conference service. Whether you are the parent or the adult child, navigating relationships at this stage can be very tricky. If you’re the parent it’s hard to know how much to say, how much to share, how much advise to give and especially hard to know how much help for your adult child is too much help. If you’re the adult child, it can be challenging to break away toward full independence and autonomy. Sometimes hurts from the past still have a grip on the relationship between parent and adult child and this causes resentment, anger, and disrespect. The good news is that none of this is irreparable. Don’t lose hope. Get the tools you need to navigate this new season in your relationship.
There is still hope for a healthy relationship.
WHAT YOU WILL GET FROM ME
Parenting and Adult Children Coaching.
I understand that the transition from teen to young adult to grown adult can be challenging. The coaching process is very effective in helping create a mutually respectful and loving relationship between parent and adult child. As children go from child to teen to adult the dynamics shift and new ways of interacting need to be learned. It can be hard to overcome communication breakdowns or past hurts. I will be there to guide the way to reconciliation, growth and togetherness.
- Learn to communicate in a way that will resolve issues instead of perpetuate them.
- Get the skills you need to build a healthy foundation for moving forward in your relationship.
- Stop the spin cycle of conversations that go round and round instead of forward.
- Learn how to let go of resentments.
- Establish a new dynamic as adult to adult vs adult to child.
- Discover new ways of relating to each other.

What People say about me
“My son is in college now, and sometimes I still can’t believe the turn-around Lisa helped him achieve. Since then Lisa has been a source of support for my oldest adult daughter, who suffers from a chronic illness, and was in denial over it, hence not taking care of herself. My daughter was also struggling to find her way in life and was unmotivated while still living at home. This put a strain on our relationship. The coaching process helped turn this around. Finding Lisa was like finding an angel who set our entire family on a better path. How can you even give enough stars for that?”
