When my fifteen-year-old son went to wilderness, I realized we both needed a reset. I felt
completely lost and scared. I wondered if change for either of us was even possible. Where was
wilderness for parents? My journey of personal-development led me to create the program I longed for as a parent. I became a certified Life Coach working exclusively with parents of struggling teens. I’m also a
facilitator of Arbinger’s Living With an Outward Mindset seminar. I have worked as the Parent
Seminar Teacher at a wilderness therapy program and the Parent and Family Program Director
at a residential treatment center.
The principles and skills I learned and applied to my parenting had a massive, life-altering
impact on me, my husband, and our five sons (especially my wilder-kid). I am living proof that
relationships can be rebuilt through the power of self-awareness and emotionally consistent
parenting. I am passionate about helping parents embody self-awareness, emotional resilience,
relationship accountability, and conscious discipline. As a coach, I teach these skills and help
you apply them to your situation all along the way. I did it for my family while transitioning my
son home, and I can help you do it for yours.
