Feeling like every conversation with your teen ends in silence or a standoff? I help parents turn those slammed-door moments into calm, real conversations—so the closeness you’re afraid of losing becomes the strongest part of your relationship.

About

Do you feel like you’re walking on eggshells?

A VIDEO FOR PARENTS OF TEENS
Maybe you’re tiptoeing around moods, never sure which version of your teen you’ll meet.
  • Curfew talks spark arguments
  • Dinner is filled with one-word answers
  • You lie awake wondering if you’re already losing the bond you once had

Picture this instead…

Imagine evenings where your teen shares a win—unprompted.
  • Boundaries hold without power struggles
  • Even hard conversations stay calm
  • You end the day feeling confident and connected

Why the old fixes don’t work

You’ve tried more rules, more lectures, or being the “cool parent”—but nothing sticks.
The real challenge isn’t a bad teen or bad parenting—it’s the teen brain’s natural push for independence colliding with parents who were never shown how to shift from managing to mentoring.

How I help

With 20+ years as a teacher and Master-Certified Teen & Parent Coach, I blend teen-brain science with practical communication tools.
You’ll learn the “why” behind your teen’s behavior and practice strategies that rebuild trust and respect—without power struggles.

Testimonials

Ashley is a Delight
"Ashley is a delight to work with as a teen and family coach. She has such an empathetic and nurturing presence. I have always felt very cared for and heard during our sessions. Her advice on parenting comes from a realistic, relatable, and compassionate place. I have called on her advice many times while raising my three sons. I always walk away from our conversations feeling more grounded and empowered. I am so thankful that I have her to turn to during this challenging time of being a mother. "

- -Signed A Grateful Mother

Coaching is a Safe Space
"The goals we set were achievable, and they helped me get through each week ahead of me. My sessions made me feel like I was getting somewhere, like I had something to use if I was ever in a bad situation that I did want to be in. My favorite part about my sessions was probably feeling accomplished when I finished one of my goals, but I would look forward to having sessions the whole week because it was a safe space to talk about anything that I went through the week before.I would definitely recommend coaching for other teens because it feels horrible to have to go through something alone, and coaching is a safe space to share what you are going through, which helped me get through each week just knowing that I would be able to share what I was going through. When I started coaching, I was not in a great place, but after six weeks, I was doing a lot better. After I finished those six weeks, I probably could have been fine on my own, but I loved coaching because you don’t have to be going through something you can just have weekly sessions just to check in and see how you're doing so I stayed for another six weeks. I’m really glad that I did because it was nice to know that I had someone to talk to at the end of the day."

- -Signed a Teen doing A lot Better

She is Incredible at What she Does
"Sessions made me feel good, happy, refreshed and recharged. My favorite part about coaching was the productivity and the friendly and safe environment. Yes, I would 1000000000000000000% recommend teen couching for other teens because Ashley is amazing and caring and very helpful. Lastly, I would just like to say that Ashley is an amazing teen coach and creates a safe and loving environment. She is incredible at what she does and loves it with her whole heart."

- -A Happy Teen

It's Beautiful to Witness
"Since my daughter began coaching with Ashley, I noticed subtle shifts that have become stronger and more pronounced. I'm recognizing now that my teen has greater confidence, determination, and purpose in a complex and changing world filled with high expectations, pressure, thrill-seeking, and limited options for teens. Support outside of our immediate family circle has been a precious resource, its clear that my teen has learned new tools and communication skills to make self-supportive choices, discern and reflect on her peer relationships, grow her awareness and self-confidence, and move beyond unconscious and stuck family patterns we could never have addressed on our own. It's beautiful to witness, and I find myself less worried, more trusting, and more excited and curious about where she is headed while discovering new ways to support and be available as the inevitable challenges arise. Ashley has a way with teens, can meet them where they are, and acknowledge their journey and struggles; by earning their respect and confidence, she helps teens break the illusion of disconnection and isolation, becoming an ally. "

- -Signed a thrilled Father

The Parent Homework Helps!
"The homework that Ashley offered gave me a lot of insight into how my feelings translate into my parenting/actions toward my children and made me realize that sometimes even my best of intentions do not translate properly to the kids."

- -A work in progress

A Promise to My future self
"The difference between traditional therapy and working with Ashley is that I could come in every week and work on my life skills and learn ways to set up my life so I could be happy with what was happening. Though it can be similar in that both focus on improving your life, there is a different microscope that is used by Ashley. It definitely paired well working with Ashley and my therapist at the same time. What I liked about the time with Ashley was being given different ideas and tools to try out to see what worked for each aspect of my life. If people are on the fence, they should try it because they will probably like it. Nobody's perfect after all and everybody could use some advice."

- -A teen working hard to be a teen In today's world

"After Ashley worked with my daughter, she had a new sense of confidence and approached tough social situations with a more positive outlook. Each week my daughter loved her sessions and meeting with Ashley. They motivated her and held her accountable. Her favorite part was her weekly check-ins and talking with Ashley. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Ashley to others who are curious about teen coaching! Ashley helped my daughter change her current situation for the better. "

- -A San Francisco Parent

Thank you so much for the parent support group - even though I didn’t make all the sessions, overall, I received a lot of benefits. The parent of teens support group was especially helpful in navigating my shifting relationship with my 18-year-old, allowing her to individuate at another level but still providing support when needed.

- - Sebastopol Parent

You don’t need to become a different parent. You need to know what works when parenting gets hard.

BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU DON’T NEED ANOTHER PARENTING BOOK. You need somewhere to say: “Okay. Here’s what happened last night. What do I do now?”

What's The Difference Between Coaching and Psycotherapy?
In psychotherapy, the therapist is in charge and is considered the “mental health professional.” In coaching, the client is in charge. The coach works for the client, and the client determines the agenda. 


In psychotherapy, the function is to “fix what’s broken.” In coaching, the function is to develop strengths. 


In psychotherapy, the focus is on feelings and past events. In coaching, the focus is on actions and the future. 


In psychotherapy, the process explores the root of problems. In coaching, the process focuses on solving problems. 


In psychotherapy, the assumption is the client needs healing. In coaching, the assumption is the client is whole. 


Psychotherapists deal primarily with answering the question, “Why do I….?” A coach asks the question, “Who are you? Where do you want to go? What do you want your future to look like?”
How do I Know if Ashley is a Match for Me or My Teen?
Before starting a coaching contract, Ashley will hold a complimentary 30-minute discovery meeting with the Parents and/or teens to see if there is a match. The relationship between the coach and the client is fundamental in the movement and progress made during the coaching agreement.
What if my Teen is Reluctant or Doesn't Think They Need "Therapy"
It's completely understandable that some teens may not initially feel comfortable with the idea of engaging in a coaching/mentor relationship. Respecting their feelings and not pushing them into something they're not ready for is essential. However, it's important to recognize that coaching/mentoring is different from therapy and can be a valuable resource for helping your teenager become the best version of themselves.



One approach to encouraging your teen to explore coaching/mentoring is to involve them in the decision-making process. Consider scheduling a discovery call with Ashley, and allow your teen to ask questions and get to know her. This initial interaction can help your teen feel more at ease and understand that coaching is a supportive, empowering experience.



It might also be helpful to reframe coaching/mentoring as a personalized course or program designed to help your teen feel better and achieve their specific goals. Emphasize that the coaching/mentoring process is all about addressing what matters most to your teenager, not anyone else. This individualized approach is what makes teen coaching incredibly effective. Your teen can begin to see positive results right away, and this early progress can be a strong motivator for continued engagement, leading to even better outcomes.



Ultimately, the decision to explore the coaching/mentoring relationship should be made by your teen. It's vital to approach this conversation with empathy and understanding, offering support and resources without applying pressure. By empowering your teenager to make this choice, you're giving them the opportunity to take control of their personal growth and well-being, while knowing that they have a supportive and experienced coach like Ashley to guide them on their journey.
