Support for Parents and Families Navigating Big Feelings
coaching and therapy services grounded in nervous system science, connection, and compassion.
Parenting and caregiving can feel overwhelming—especially when emotions run high, behavior feels confusing, or your own nervous system is stretched thin. I support parents and families through nervous-system-informed parent coaching and pre-licensed therapy services, helping you build regulation, connection, and resilience.
you might be here because…
➳ your child has big emotions, shutdowns, or reactions that don’t respond to typical discipline
➳ you’re doing your best to parent thoughtfully, but still feel 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 want tools that help your child regulate—not just comply
➳ 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
➳ you’re looking for support that honors both your child’s nervous system and your own
you’re not doing anything wrong. sometimes families just need support that looks beneath behavior and meets the nervous system first.
hi. i’m jenna. your parent coach and therapist.
i offer support for families who are trying to support children with anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, or nervous system overwhelm — and want to respond with connection rather than control.
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 support children’s emotional regulation
my work helps parents understand what’s happening beneath behavior and support their child’s nervous system in everyday moments. through the lens of the nervous system, not punishment or compliance.
together, we focus on regulation, connection, and skill-building for both parent and child. when behavior is understood as communication, new options become possible.
this work is especially helpful for families navigating big emotions, anxiety, shutdowns, sensory differences, adoption-related stress, or school challenges.
what i offer is both practical and relational. we slow things down, make sense of patterns, and build tools that actually fit your family and real life.
i offer both coaching support and therapy. my work focuses on understanding patterns, strengthening regulation, and supporting parents in real-life moments.

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
