When it feels like nothing's working

  • You’ve tried to be patient, build routines, take the advice.
  • You’ve read the books, or intend to, and it still feel like you’re walking on eggshells in your own home.
  • School feels like a battle. Screens dominate. Silence stings.
  • And deep down, you’re asking: How did it get this hard? Why do I feel like I’m failing at the thing that matters most? And what about me?

If you’re trying so hard to find the ‘right’ tool or strategy—but you’re still losing your patience, watching your teen shut you out, or lying awake wondering if they’ll be okay—you don’t have a strategy problem.

Your approach is off.

The truth is...most parenting advice either over-focuses on the teen (fixing their behavior), or overloads the parent (with endless theory or to-do lists).

I DO IT DIFFERENTLY.

I focus on the parent as much as the teen, as I guide parents through my Challenge Mountain™ and Teenage Tree™ frameworks—soul-to-systems tools for both of you that integrate nervous system regulation, communication strategies, and co-created skill-building solutions.

Because this isn’t just about raising teens.
It’s about raising the relationships you have with yourselves and each other.

Do You Struggle With:

  • Watching your once-confident teen shrink under the weight of anxiety, perfectionism, or peer pressure—and having no idea how to pull them out.
  • Snapping when you swore you’d stay calm… then lying awake at 2am replaying the argument like it’s a Netflix rerun you never asked for.
  • Wondering if your child is actually okay—because beneath the grades, the sports, and the screen time, you’re not sure they’re thriving or just surviving.
  • Feeling like you need a degree in adolescent psychology just to navigate school stress, endless responsibilities, and the occasional slammed bedroom door.
  • Trying to open their heart with a conversation… only to get one-word answers, rolled eyes, or a door that communicates louder than words ever could.
  • Secretly panicking about how to guide them through the real high-stakes world of adolescence—screens, sex, substances—without pushing them away.

If you’ve nodded your head more than once, let’s be honest: this isn’t about “bad behavior.”...It’s about needing better tools.

“I came for tools to help my teens—but I walked away with a deeper relationship with them and myself. Ashley changed our lives in every way."

J.O., 6th, 7th, and 9th-grade mom

Confidence during adolescence comes down to 3 areas

These are my specialties 

Parent-Child Relationships

The greatest predictor

Study after study shows the greatest predictor of an adolescent's success lies in the relationships they have with the key adults in their life.

I coach parents through my proven toolkit that enables them to thrive individually and with their teens at home, school, and in life. 

REACH OUT >>
Social-Emotional Wellness

True belonging

Finding authentic peer connections in today's tech-driven adolescent culture is one of the greatest challenges (& ultimate rewards) tweens and teens face.

I coach parents, tweens, and teens in how to cultivate social-emotional wellness skills that last a lifetime.

REACH OUT >>
Executive Functioning

High-quality living 

Building executive function skills is a key tenet of adolescence, impacting your tween/teen's ability to do what they need to do and want to do throughout life.

I coach parents, tweens, and teens in how to boost executive function skills at home, at school, and in life.

You're doing the best you can with what you have, and you both deserve to feel proud.

And, who says raising an adolescent has to be such a slog?

Here's why parents, tweens, and teens thrive 

(& why they don't)

Most parents come to me wanting help in solving an immediate parenting challenge, or an executive function / social-emotional challenge for their tween/teen. Up to that point everything they've tried is typically missing one or more of these elements.

With me as your guide, I'll help you learn how to maximize your time and effort by making sure you integrate these essentials. 

You’re not supposed to just get through the teen years.

You’re here to lead them—with clarity, connection, and confidence.

Here’s how we shift

from surviving to thriving:

#1

Get to the Root

I help you uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface—so you can understand the deeper why behind the behaviors and build change from the inside out.

#2

Develop Framework

We co-create emotionally intelligent, value-aligned systems and skills tailored to your unique family—so what you practice actually works in real life.

#3

Live it Out with Confidence

With the tools, language, and support in place, you and your adolescent integrate the work into daily life—with more peace, self-trust, and connection.

Let's be real.

Parenting in 2025 isn’t the same as it was in the 80s or 90s.
But your core desire? It hasn’t changed.
You want to raise a self-led, emotionally aware teen—and feel grounded in your parenting while doing it.

That’s exactly what I help you do.
Using a blend of evidence-based tools, soulful self-leadership, and practical systems, I help you both feel seen, supported, and emotionally safe.

Over the last 18 years, I’ve helped hundreds of parents, tweens, and teens build deeper trust and emotional resilience at home, at school, and in everyday life.

Here’s the method behind it:

Soulful Connection + Healthy Boundaries + Skillful Practice

= Thriving Parents, Tweens, and Teens

This isn’t about adding more to your plate.
It’s about finally having the clarity, language, and structure that helps you lead your child through this sacred chapter—with your values intact.

Because let’s be honest: winging it isn’t working.
You feel the distance growing. You second-guess your instincts.
And in the quiet moments, your thoughts sound like:

“Is this normal?”
“What am I doing wrong?”
“Where did my confident, kind kid go?”

But here’s the truth:
Feeling connected and confident through the teen years isn’t a fantasy. It’s a framework. And I’ll guide you there.

Wondering what it's like to work with me?

Let these parents tell you.

“A dream to work with…”

“Ashley is a dream to work with. I now have tools that help me parent better and are returning joy to our family life. In only a few sessions we saw real change. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone!”

~ Karyn D.

“Ashley is my go-to resource...”

“Ashley is my go-to resource for much-needed perspective when facing sticky parenting issues or challenges. Each of my adolescent sons has expressed themselves in ways I didn't quite get. Through Ashley, I've learned new tools and ways of showing up that have truly worked. We're closer in tangible ways. I continue to learn from her."”

~ Steve C.

“Life-changing tools...”

“Ashley's coaching & teachings had such a profound influence on my son and his friendships - he was able to set boundaries in a way I'd never seen before. She's given us both life-changing tools and connections. I've been hopeful and more confident about middle school ever since.”

~ Nicole H.

The most powerful influence you have in your tween or teen’s life isn’t control—it’s connection.
The way you show up, lead, and relate shapes everything.
Never underestimate the impact of your presence, your approach, and your willingness to do this work
