Sam was so incredibly helpful to me in learning more about teens and how they think and feel. WHY certain things were coming up, and what tools and techniques to use to better communicate with my daughter. I came into this process fairly heartbroken and feeling helpless. After our sessions and applying what I learned, I feel like I am a better parent, that I have a greater understanding of what to do to help my teen and how to apply some of these tools to friends and family in my life also. It was a powerful process and I look forward to sessions in the future to continue to round out my parenting skills! Thank you so much, Sam! You are a blessing.

I cannot tell you how insightful and how helpful Sam's support and coaching can be. I have followed her for many years and even been to one of her workshops. But when I needed 1 to 1 help I really saw the true value of her years of experience and down to earth approach to dealing with the teen age years. I cannot recommend her more highly.

Sam is a life saver!! She helped me navigate some big transition periods with each of my teens and we were able to get through it with grace, respect and harmony. She really helped me understand the lens in which I was parenting and keep perspective on the relationship I want to have with my children today and beyond. She is a wealth of knowledge, she leads with compassion and is an invaluable resource to parents and the community. 10/10!!!

My partner and I sought out Sam’s expertise to help us improve our communication with our child who is going through a difficult time. We actually ended up learning a lot about ourselves! Over four sessions Sam talked us through the psychology behind difficult conversations and how to have them effectively. She gave us so many tools that we were able to implement immediately and with great success. There is a palpable difference in our family dynamic now. More openness, less walking on eggshells. We are very grateful.

Words cannot describe what a complete gem Sam is. I do not know what I would do without her. There are simply so many things about her that make her wonderful: her wisdom, presence, kindness, intelligence, humor, experience with parents and teens, and her clear communication style are just SOME of the many things I really appreciate about her.

I had been going through a challenging parental crisis of sorts. I didn't feel like a therapist for myself or my child was really what was needed but I definitely knew I needed support. I mentioned this in a local moms group and someone recommended Sam. A Teen Parenting Coach?! This exists?! I was able to get booked very quickly for an initial consultation. I knew within 2 minutes of speaking with her that she was exactly what I was looking for. Not only does she have a ton of experience counseling/coaching parents and teens, she has also been the mom to teenagers - she truly gets it firsthand. If you are feeling at your wits end or you just need some support with your challenges, Sam is THE BEST. I take tons of notes during our sessions about actual practical tools to apply and great books and resources. She also recently started a monthly membership model to allow other parents to connect with each other and provide additional support and education for parents. I truly cannot recommend Sam enough to any parent who feels like they would benefit from the sage wisdom of a true pro!
