Parent Overwhelm Isn’t the Problem — It’s the Signal
When a child’s behaviors feel intense or unpredictable, it’s easy for parents to feel consumed by the chaos.
The meltdowns, refusals, or constant power struggles leave you drained — and wondering what you’re missing.
But the overwhelm isn’t caused by your child.
It’s a signal that something deeper is out of balance — that you’re being asked to carry too much without enough understanding, tools, or support.
This is where my coaching comes in —
helping you move from daily survival to stability, confidence, and connection at home.
Meet Chrissie
I’m Chrissie Sullivan — a parent and certified family and wellness coach.
I help parents of children with behavioral, emotional, or neurodiverse needs create stability, confidence, and connection at home.
After years of parenting in many forms — single mom, stepmom, foster parent, and adoptive parent — I learned that real change begins when every family member’s needs are seen and valued.
My work is rooted in helping families identify those needs — their child’s, their partner’s, and their own — and learn how to meet them with understanding and intention.
Because everyone’s needs matter equally, and that balance is what brings peace back to the home.
Blending neuroscience, integrative wellness, and lived experience, I help parents shift from constant reaction to confident leadership — building homes where each person feels supported and capable of thriving.
Beyond Behavior. Beyond Labels.
What if your child’s behavior isn’t defiance — but communication?
What if your overwhelm isn’t failure — but feedback?
And what if understanding both is the key to change?
My coaching blends neuroscience, trauma-informed parenting, and integrative wellness to help you understand your child, your family, and yourself in a new way.
You’ll get:
- A clear roadmap — step-by-step guidance through The Expansive Parent 12-week Journey.
- A full-family approach — tools that support parents, children, and relationships.
- Practical strategies — real solutions for behavior, communication, and daily stress.
- Wellness integration — nutrition and lifestyle habits that support emotional balance.
- Ongoing partnership — steady support as new skills become second nature.
This isn’t about fixing your child.
It’s about equipping you — so everyone in your family can thrive.
"Working with Chrissie has been an opportunity that has changed my life. Chrissie is caring and gave me the space to speak where I truly felt heard.
She is non judgmental, which allowed me to share without fear.
I’m truly grateful for this gift I was given as it felt like “me” time, where I could grow as a parent."
