 Private Coaching Services to Help You Navigate Your Child’s Substance Misuse

 Rebuild connection. Reclaim your life.
Find Hope.

There’s a way forward — and you don’t have to find it alone.

If your child’s substance use has taken over
your life, you’re not alone.

Like so many parents, you may feel overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. I’ve walked this road too — and I’m here to help.

​

Through private parent coaching, I offer a safe space to breathe, find clarity, and discover new ways to support your child — whether they’re experimenting, struggling with addiction, or in recovery.


Using an evidence-based approach grounded in science and kindness, we’ll explore your unique situation and chart a path forward together.

What We’ll Work on Together

  •   Respond to your child with calm instead of panic        

  •   Communicate in ways that reduce conflict and builds    connection and trust

  •   Set loving but firm boundaries

  •   Learn evidence-based strategies rooted in                      compassion, not control

  •   Prioritize your own well-being without guilt

What Other Parents Are Saying

I came in completely drained. With Mary Ann’s support, I began taking care of myself, thinking more clearly, and setting boundaries that allowed me to feel safe and grounded again.
   ~ Julie

I felt lost without a plan. Mary Ann gave me tools that actually worked. I now have a clear strategy to influence my son’s behavior and rebuild our connection.
  ~ Stephanie

Working with Mary Ann gave me emotional support when I needed it most. I no longer feel so alone, and I’ve come to understand my own patterns without shame or stigma.
 ~ Kim

Why Work With Me

I’m a certified parent coach and the mother of a son now in long-term recovery. I understand the turmoil and fear that come with parenting a child struggling with substance use. And I know what it means to feel alone.
 

My family coaching for addiction is grounded in both professional training and lived experience. Together, we’ll focus on what you can control, how you can care for yourself, and how to reconnect with your child in meaningful ways.

Many families also find that taking the ELI Assessment offers powerful insights into how stress impacts their parenting and what they can do to shift this pattern.
