Parenting is hard - and you don’t have to do it alone.
Parenting can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re navigating tantrums, defiance, ADHD, or big emotions.
If you’re exhausted from constant power struggles, disrespectful behavior, or repeating yourself over and over, you’re in the right place.
Through my Effective Parenting Program, I help parents move from feeling reactive and unsure to calm, confident, and in control. Using evidence-based behavioral parent training and tools rooted in positive psychology and child development, we’ll create a clear, customized plan for every challenge that comes your way — from tantrums to talking back.
What You’ll Experience Through the Effective Parenting Program:
✅ Fewer daily behavioral challenges and meltdowns
✅ Kids who listen and follow directions — the first time
✅ Fewer power struggles and arguments
✅ More cooperation, respect, and peace at home
✅ Improved confidence and emotional regulation for both parents and kids
✅ A closer, calmer relationship with your children
Whether your child struggles with ADHD, autism, ODD, or general defiant behavior, this evidence-based parenting program gives you the tools to respond effectively — not reactively.
(Group and individual parent coaching options available nationwide — including Boston, Chicago, Seattle, Austin, and beyond.)
Why Parents Choose the Effective Parenting Program
Parenting tips are everywhere — but what most parents need isn’t more advice. You need clear, research-backed tools that actually work in real life.
The Effective Parenting Program combines behavioral parent training with developmental psychology, helping you:
Understand why your child doesn’t listen or follow directions
Learn how to discipline without yelling
Stop power struggles and bring calm back to your home
Build lasting emotional connection and mutual respect
This isn’t about perfect parenting — it’s about effective parenting.
