REGISTER NOWHi, I'm Cheryl...
Teen Therapist, Parent Coach, Mom
I've spent the past 30 years working with teenagers -first as a middle school teacher, then as a teen therapist. I also have 2 young adult daughters of my own, so I know first-hand how tough these years can be.
Parenting is a skill. And unfortunately, it's a skill that not all of us had modeled for us in our own childhood. So sometimes it feels like we're just figuring it out as we go -- throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks. Or we slip into old patterns that don't work because it's the only thing we know.
I love supporting parents by giving you the support, skills, reassurance and tools you need to learn healthier communication skills that lead to a happier, more peaceful, more connected relationship with your teen.
I look forward to joining you on your parenting journey.
Cheryl
