Does this sound familiar?

Your child has intense reactions to seemingly minor situations and it's starting to impact the family dynamic.

You feel like you have tried all the "parenting strategies" and nothing works.

You are tired of waiting and hoping that your child will "grow out of it."

You feel like you're walking on eggshells in your own home.

A Systems-Informed Approach

I work with parents through a structured framework specifically for raising sensitive, explosive, deeply feeling children. I hold a Systems Engineering degree from the University of Virginia, and this background is a key part of what makes my coaching effective—allowing me to turn complex parenting challenges into clear, practical systems to help you feel less overwhelmed and more grounded and confident.

What Parents Say

Real stories from real families

Megan's coaching was transformative for our family. Even with my partner and I being mental health providers, we were finding ourselves at a loss when trying to support our "deep feeling" 4 year old. Megan's instruction was clear, efficient, and also (and possibly most importantly) delivered with genuineness, vulnerability, compassion, humor, and care. I cannot recommend her enough, and in fact my wife and I have referred many of our therapy clients to her services because of our amazing experience! We cannot thank you enough Megan!!

Megan Robertson - Certified Parent Coach
Meet Megan

I understand because I've been there too...

Hi, I'm Megan Robertson, and I know firsthand how isolating and exhausting it can be to parent a child with big emotions.

When I was young, I dreamed of being an architect—someone who passionately designed homes for families to enjoy. My dream has come true in a way I could not have foreseen or understood then. As a parent coach, my goal is to help you design and build the most meaningful, connected, collaborative relationship possible with your child.

After years of studying child psychology and the science and art of raising children, I have come to realize that we as parents have the power to fundamentally and positively shift our relationships with our children and the entire family dynamic. After discovering this, two things have happened. First, I transformed my relationship with my child that had been previously dominated by high sensitivity and emotional outbursts. And two, I discovered tools that allow me to live with more presence and playfulness.

Now I feel called to help other parents who may at times feel like I once did - hopeless, alone, and deeply ashamed - particularly those with kids aged 4-10 that could be described as deeply feeling, explosive, or highly sensitive.

I'm not disillusioned that there aren't or won't be hard days as parents but, as any architect can tell you, the foundation is what allows us to withstand the elements. Together, we can build that for you and your child. Let's get started!
