Introducing OnPoint Parenting: Expert Guidance When You Need It

Over the last 30 years in my private practice, I have watched the raising of children go from challenging and moderately stressful at times to extremely challenging and highly stressful a lot of the time. There is plenty of disagreement over what has caused these changes and who is responsible. However, what we can all agree on is this:

  • Parents, teachers, administrators, and children are confused and struggling.
  • The problems are very complicated, multi-faceted and feel utterly overwhelming.
  • The consequences of these problems are breaking down families, educational environments and most importantly, our children’s mental health.
  • There is not enough help that is affordable, available, practical, or effective.

This situation is breaking my heart because I see your struggles every day on my couch. Meeting with you one on one is a start but it is not enough. I want to do more to help. You all need expert support that is available on demand 24/7, is inexpensive, changes with your needs and involves a community of people experiencing the same challenges.

That is why I have poured my decades of professional expertise and personal wisdom into OnPoint Parenting (OPP). OPP is a virtual platform, away from the noise of social media, where you can get practical guidance, expert training and community support. It is for parents with children of any age and professionals who work with children of all ages. And it is very inexpensive!

I launched OPP on Friday, December 5, 2025. To get everyone started I filmed a total of 25 videos in the following categories – Parenting Basics, Stress and Anxiety, Technology, Communication and Positive Discipline, and Drugs and Alcohol. These videos are currently all available on OPP. The community is also set up and ready for you to join and share your issues, thoughts, and support.

The way it works is so simple. You join OPP for $20 a month. As a member you have full and complete access to all the content (e.g., training videos, community, a resource section we will build out together, monthly zoom calls, pop up talks and more). OPP is not a static platform. It is designed to grow and change with your needs and wants. In other words, by being an active member you can have significant influence over the evolution of OPP.

I am beyond excited to share OPP with you!

Let’s tackle this crazy mixed-up world together so our kids can grow up learning how capable they are to persevere and eventually thrive as independent, self-sufficient adults.

My goal is to give you tools you can use immediately – tools that make you feel more confident, calm and connected in your parenting.
