Parenting a teenager can be tough,
But it doesn't have to be THIS tough.
As a parent of a teenager myself AND a specialist in teen self-harm,
I understand the complexities of parenting a kid with overwhelming emotions.
It’s heartbreaking to watch your child withdraw from everything they once loved.

All you want to do is keep them safe, but it feels impossible.
What if I said
You can repair your relationship with your teen
and help them thrive again?
(No matter what has been said or what has happened in the past.)
But to do it… you’re going to need a new approach...

As a counselor, DBT-Linehan Board of Certification Clinician™ and owner and executive director of Creative Healing, Teen Support Centers – I've helped thousands of teens in Pennsylvania cope with their emotions and understand their feelings of depression, anxiety, and self-harm.
My mission is simple: To help teens love themselves unconditionally and help parents create an understanding environment where teens are accepted.
I want to provide MORE parents and teenagers with the support, community, and understanding I so desperately needed as a teen.
This is why I created this training based on my book, 'You’re on Fire, It’s Fine', where I provide empathetic and honest guidance for parents struggling with their teen's mental health challenges.
Go from feeling helpless to empowered with this training!
A happy, joyful home filled with positive communication and connection awaits.
If your teen displays self-destructive behaviors, you – and so many other parents – are likely to experience feeling:
Waiting for a shoe to drop or a cry for help at any time.
Exhausted by unending crisis.
Communication or compromise is off the table.
Terrified of losing their child.
Straining as their teen teeters on the edge
Mired in a Catch-22.
Frustrated by ‘experts.’
Everyone says something different, and nothing sticks.
Isolated.
It’s a hard topic to bring up over coffee with friends...
Heartbroken.
Witnessing their child lose interest in what they used to love and desperately trying to connect with them… but shut down at every turn.
Trust me. I get it.
As a parent of a teenager AND a specialist in teen self-harm, I understand the complexities of parenting a kid with overwhelming emotions.
Hearing another parent discuss their “kid’s future” brings unexpected anxiety, grief and sadness as you fear for the future of your own teen.
All you want in life is to see your child enjoying life again…
…With their friends, their school, their interests…
…with you.
Phew. Deep breath.
You are in the right place.
Because you CAN repair your relationship with your teen.
Yes. Believe it.
No matter what you’ve been through.
No matter what has been said.
There is hope.
(Even if hope feels scary right now.)
