About Path to Peace Parenting

If your daughter is anxious, shut down, or struggling, and you don’t know what to do next...you’re in the right place

I help deeply caring parents who are trying to support a teenage or young adult daughter who is struggling.

She may be dealing with anxiety or other mental health challenges, or avoiding, shutting down, or pulling away, and you’re left feeling emotionally exhausted, scared, and unsure how to show up in ways that actually help.

Parenting a struggling daughter is different from everyday parenting, and many well-intentioned approaches stop working in this season.

You want to support her without pushing too hard, enabling avoidance, or damaging your relationship, but the path forward feels unclear.

The work we do together is focused on you.
You’ll learn how to steady yourself, communicate more effectively, set supportive boundaries, and respond in ways that reduce conflict and increase safety — so you can parent with clarity and confidence in a situation that often feels overwhelming.

As you shift how you show up, your daughter has the space she needs to move forward, and hope becomes realistic, grounded, and sustainable.

Blanca

This program has helped me enormously to improve my relationship with my daughter. I’d been available to identify what I was doing wrong as a parent and we are now creating a stronger bond and connection.

Ida

This program, combined with Ashley's direction, was educational, insightful, and filled with guidance that works. Meaning, the changes in our efforts to manage and discipline from a very different mindset, have led to direct changes in our girls' behavior and our family dynamic. You come to understand that creating space for change to take place - to take root and grow - is the most important tool you have. There is so much complexity, especially these days, in raising children, we found ourselves in a spiral without knowing how the heck we got there or how to stop the theft of our daily joy as a family and as individuals. To finally have the right tools to engage and discipline without punishment, to see our family take a corner, to see our daughter want to engage differently because we are engaging differently, has been life changing. Ashley is smart, insightful, compassionate, and invested in helping you help your child grow and reclaim a deeper, healthier, and meaningful relationship - day by day.
