The problem isn’t your effort, it’s where that effort is going.
The teen years change the rules, and what used to work doesn’t anymore. In fact it backfires!
The real enemy is the push–pull cycle: you push harder, they push back, and everyone loses.
If you want a better way to handle the hard moments and support while you practice it, you’re in the right place.

The patterns happening right now don’t stay neutral.
The way conflict works in your home
The way your teen handles stress
The way you both respond when emotions spike
Those become habits.
And habits compound.
If you’re waiting for your teen to “grow out of it,” you may be waiting while the push–pull gets stronger, the distance gets wider, and trust gets harder to rebuild.
When you change how you show up—consistently, confidently, calmly—everything else starts to change, too.
Not overnight. Not magically.
But noticeably.
The fights get shorter… or don’t start at all.
Your teen starts choosing to talk to you again.
You're able to guide them without pushing them away.
And for the first time in a long time… you feel like you're succeeding.
I’ve worked with thousands of families and studied what actually helps teens change over time. I took the research, the clinical experience, and my own in-the-trenches moments with my teen—and turned it into one clear, step-by-step method that works with the teen brain, not against it.
And now you can learn the same method I teach my private clients—right from home, on your schedule.
The COLLABORATE Method™ is a practical roadmap you can use in real time—when your teen snaps, shuts down, or pushes back—so you always know exactly what to do next.
Know what to say and do next—even in the hardest moments.
When your teen rolls their eyes and tries to bait you, you learn to stay calm and in control. So the moment doesn’t blow up and your teen's moods don't run the show.
When your teen shuts down, you'll know how to deepen trust and respect so they start to open up more, push back less, and see you as an ally, not the enemy.
Instead of every conversation ending in an argument, you'll learn to lead your teentoward better choices, so boundaries stick, power struggles shrink, and responsibility grows.
10–15 minutes each. One clear shift at a time so you can implement immediately instead of feeling overwhelmed.
Apply the same structured process I use with private clients directly to your family’s real situations.
Because when emotions are high, you don’t need theory, you need a clear action.
Ongoing support from parents who understand this stage, so you don't have to go through this alone.
Use this framework now and come back anytime new challenges show up over the next several years.
Understand the teen brain at a deeper level, so you respond with confidence instead of fear.
Here’s what changes when parents use The COLLABORATE Method consistently:
My teen actually talks to me now. I didn’t think that was possible.
