Parenting doesn't have to feel this hard
Get the support you deserve, to help you parent your strong-willed or neurodivergent child without losing your mind OR crushing their spirit. (Even if you're parenting solo!)
Welcome, Passholders from the Intentional Living During the Holidays!
I'm delighted to offer you a FREE, personalized coaching call.
You love your child deeply...
But some most days feel harder than they should.
Maybe you're constantly putting out fires, walking on eggshells, and stuck in a seemingly endless cycle of power struggles and meltdowns.
Or maybe you're just sick of feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, with no end or break in sight.
You’ve read the books. Tried the scripts. Done your best to hold it together.
And yet, you just feel...stuck.
You don't need more generic, cookie-cutter advice.
You need - and deserve - realistic, practical support, and a plan that fits your reality.
You, my friend, deserve a R.E.S.E.T.
What is R.E.S.E.T.?
R.E.S.E.T. is the powerful framework I use to support my clients in moving out of chaos and into confidence and connection.
R — Regulate through the Storms
Create a personalized SOS plan for meltdowns and tantrums, so you can respond with more confidence in the hardest moments.
E — Ease the Pressure
Dial down the daily tension and power struggles using practical tools based in brain science and child development.
S — See What's Underneath
Behavior is communication. Uncover what’s really going on with your unique child, using my signature SPIES™ framework.
E — Equip Yourself
Gain insight into your own reactions, patterns, and beliefs — without shame or judgment — and learn the tools and skills you need to show up with more confidence and intention.
T — Tend & Teach
Build a strong, healthy relationship with your child through respectful communication, co-regulation, compassion, and connection. And harness the power of that connection to equip them with the skills they need to weather the inevitable storms, even when you're not around.
Real Stories from Real Parents
"We love that Dr. Gila is evidence-based, but also warm and genuine. Her lived experiences as a mom allow her such an empathic approach, which allowed us to feel so much less alone and overwhelmed. Her deep knowledge, combined with the actionable strategies she gave us, made her absolutely invaluable!
And her suggestions WORKED! What a Godsend."
"Working with Dr. Gila has been life-changing! Before, I felt frustrated, hopeless, and in despair. Now, I feel empowered and confident. And my relationship with my strong-willed child has been transformed.
Dr. Gila is gentle, honest, kind, and thoughtful. I never felt judged, and always felt validated and supported. Her coaching is hands-on, with practical guidance I can immediately use with my child. I am truly grateful that Dr. Gila came into my life."
"Dr. Gila has been amazing!
She is able to listen and reflect back and reframe as necessary (and it’s often been necessary) without judgment and with so much kindness and solidarity.
I am so grateful to have Gila in my corner and in my head, helping me celebrate the small successes, and gently and so wisely troubleshooting the challenges."
You’re parenting a beautifully complex kid in a world that isn’t built for either of you.
When your kid doesn't "fit the mold," or your family doesn't look like everyone else's, it's no wonder "traditional," cookie-cutter parenting advice just doesn't cut it.
You deserve support.
REAL support. For your REAL life.
Trust me, I get it. I've been there.
HELLO!
I'm Dr. Gila (she/her)
(Rhymes with "tequila")
I'm a psychologist and neuropsychologist, but nothing has taught or stretched or challenged me more than single parenting a strong-willed, neurodivergent kiddo.
I dove head-first into the parenting research and discovered powerful tools for my own family, and a passion for helping other struggling parents too!
Now, as a Jai-certified parent coach and a certified Clini-Coach®, I help parents handle the hard stuff and build strong, healthy relationships with their kids AND themselves.
The secret?
Parenting with connection,
NOT perfection.
