Support for Parents and Families Navigating Big Feelings
coaching and therapy services grounded in understanding behavior, building calm, and strengthening your connection at home.
Parenting can feel hard, especially when emotions run high or behavior doesn’t make sense. I help parents feel more confident, calm, and connected — with tools that work in real life.
you might be here because…
➳ your child has big emotions, anxiety, or shutdowns
➳ you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what to try next
➳ your child is sensitive, anxious, or differently wired, and you want support that truly understands that
➳ you’ve been told “it’s just behavior,” but your gut tells you there’s more going on beneath the surface
➳ you’re tired of approaches that rely on rewards, consequences, or power struggles
➳ you want to stay calm and connected, even when parenting feels hard
➳ traditional discipline hasn’t helped — and you want something that honors your child and your values
you’re not doing anything wrong — sometimes families just need support that helps them feel understood and effective again.
i offer parent coaching and family support that focuses on practical tools, emotional understanding, and real-world changes (not punishment or power struggles). i’ll help you feel calmer, make sense of behavior, and respond in ways that strengthen your connection with your child.
hi. i’m jenna. your parent coach and therapist.
embodying regulation is a parenting SUPERPOWER.
i work with families navigating a wide range of relational and developmental experiences, including adoption and other significant life transitions.
how coaching and therapy help: i help parents understand what’s underneath their child’s behavior and support emotional regulation in everyday moments — without punishment or power struggles
together, we focus on building calm, strengthening connection, and developing skills that work in real life. When behavior is seen as communication, parents have more supportive and effective ways to respond.
this support can be especially helpful for families navigating big emotions, anxiety, sensory differences, adoption-related stress, or school challenges.
i offer both parent coaching and therapy, with a practical, relationship-based approach that fits your family and your day-to-day life.

How to Know What’s Right for You
love from former clients
jenna helped me to better regulate my own emotions, understand my toddler’s emotions and relate to him in a way that is calming rather than reactive, and perhaps most valuable to me has been learning about the importance of “repair” when i do snap or lose my patience. i can honestly say that having the opportunity to have jenna as a coach has truly changed my life. the skills that she taught me have made me a better mother, a better partner, and kinder and gentler with myself. for any mamas struggling to balance the demands of day to day life or feeling overwhelmed or like their best is not enough, i cannot recommend jenna enough. it is truly life changing, and something i would take again and again if given the chance. -kelly kraft
i have always struggled with self care and positive self talk. jenna’s coaching was just what i was looking for. she presents information in a way that reminded me how important it is to take care of myself in order to be present with my child. i have a 5 year old who is a ball of energy and has some extra needs. i am also divorced and have to navigate helping my child through all of the emotions of going back and forth. her approach to dealing with your child's big emotions makes so much sense. jenna offers approaches that you can actually use in your life. thank you jenna, it was a wonderful experience and i'm already seeing results! -stephanie frischmann
