Thriving Parents.
Parenting teenagers can be a lonely and challenging endeavor. Parents feel tremendous pressures to ensure their child is learning and doing the right things to prepare them well for their future. At the same time, their teen is experiencing their own pressures, riding an often volatile emotional rollercoaster, and seeking their own independent identity. It's an overwhelming time for parents!
​​​
Many parents rely on strategies from their own upbringing, but today’s environment is vastly different from the past. While resources abound for parents of infants and younger children, support through the teenager years is limited. Yet, these are some of the most pivotal years in preparing your child for adulthood and developing lasting relationships with them.​
​​​
I guide parents through the challenges of the teenage years, empowering them to align their parenting with their values, while confidently supporting their teens through high school and beyond. I coach parents in building a supportive family culture and clear systems that foster their teens' healthy growth into responsible, resilient, and independent young adults.​​​​
How will you thrive?
Individualized Parent Coaching
Jenell offers personalized parent coaching for individual parents or multiple parents in the same family (can be in different households).

Parenting is a lonely and challenging journey. You don't have to do it alone! Through parent coaching, you'll receive practical guidance that is tailored to your unique family circumstances, challenges, gifts, and values.

50 minutes, $175
Our coaching sessions are tailored to meet the unique needs of your family. Together, we’ll create a coaching plan that outlines your goals and can be adjusted as challenges arise and dynamics shift. Each session includes dedicated time for reflecting on your role as a parent, guidance toward achieving your individual goals, and practical recommendations to help you move forward.
​
All coaching sessions are virtual to accommodate the fast-paced, often over-scheduled lives of parents. By cutting out travel time, parking challenges and costs, and other complexities of in-person visits, we are able to maximize your time and meet you where you are! Occasionally, Jenell will do an in-person home visit with a family in the Seattle area. Those visits may be arranged directly with Jenell after an initial session.
