Amy is the best! When I was feeling deflated by the endless parenting advice that didn’t seem to apply to my kid, Amy was able to step in and help me see what was important: loving and appreciated the kid I had, and doing whatever I could to nurture and preserve that relationship. She helped me step back from the endless power struggles, to better understand what made him tick, and to let go just a bit of what other people thought. Amy is a rockstar!A Mother form North Hampton, MA

As a parent of both boys and girls, I’ve had the pleasure of seeking advice and coaching from Amy for over 20 years as my children have grown, from ages 5 to 25. As a parent herself, she brings both personal experience and professional knowledge to her advice. I’ve consulted her on a wide range of issues, from maintaining family harmony to navigating school challenges and peer relationships. She is incredibly easy to talk to, always non-judgmental, and truly listens with empathy. Her advice is trustworthy, practical, and grounded in real-world solutions. What I appreciate most is the flexibility to reach out for short consultations whenever I need guidance, without the commitment of an ongoing therapeutic arrangement. I highly recommend Amy to any parent looking for sound advice and support!A mother of three from Cape Ann, MA
