Private Coaching for Mothers and Adult Daughters
Private Coaching for Mothers and Daughters
You’ve accomplished so much - yet the one relationship that should feel the safest often feels the most fragile.
If your daughter has ever said, “You just don’t understand,” what she’s really saying is that she doesn’t feel seen by you.
And when a daughter doesn’t feel understood, she begins to doubt not only the relationship - but herself.
As mothers, we want to protect, guide and share our hard-earned wisdom. But when advice replaces understanding, and solutions replace safety, emotional distance grows.
This is where I come in.
As a therapist and mother-daughter relationship expert, I’ll guide you through a proven, three-month process to rebuild emotional safety, repair unspoken hurts and lead your family’s healing with confidence and grace.
Together, we’ll explore the history that shaped your bond, the patterns that have kept you both guarded, and the path to becoming the kind of mother your daughter feels safe coming home to.
This isn’t about blame. It’s about leadership - the kind that heals generations.
Elizabeth shares about her experience in mother-daughter coaching with her mother:
“Our first session went a lot better than any other conversation I’ve had about sensitive things with my Mom. I expected her to take things personally like she has in the past. But it was nice because my Mom was very receptive. It felt like we were working together, rather than feeling blamed or yelling, we have the same goals.”
Here you will:
See what’s really been happening beneath the surface and understand how generations of unspoken expectations and emotional inheritance have shaped the dynamic between you. You’ll finally know how to repair it, and how to keep yourselves (and future daughters) from repeating old patterns.
Begin feeling like a team again. You’ll learn how to show love and empathy to each other in the moments you’ve struggled most and start rebuilding the trust that makes deeper connection possible.
Feel fully seen, without blame or shame. In our sessions, every perspective and emotion has space. Each of you holds truths that matter, and my role is to help you hear - and be heard - in ways that restore understanding, not competition.
Learn a new language of connection. The communication tools you gain here will become the foundation of your relationship moving forward - tools you’ll return to again and again to navigate hard moments and prevent conflict before it begins.
This is the work that turns silence into understanding and distance into safety.
I began supporting Margot in the winter, 7 months after her daughter became estranged. By spring she had gotten back into communication with her daughter after she crafted loving and vulnerable letters to her daughter. That communication led to an invitation for mother-daughter sessions and by summer her daughter joined the sessions. We had a strict timeline as the daughter was expecting her first child in August. By fall, Margot was flying across the world to meet her first grandchild; her daughter’s daughter. These aren’t just stories, they’re real women doing everything they can to save their family.
“ I plan on working with Hilary for a very long time in some capacity in order for me to stay in loving connection with you for the rest of my life. I have worked with Hilary since January. She moderates a mother’s group that I have participated in and I have also worked with her privately. I wish I would have crossed paths with her much earlier in my life, and I am very grateful to be able to continue working with her. She has taught me about the nuances of repair after conflict and how perspective taking through active listening is vital in the repair process. She has taught me that the flow of care always goes from a parent to a child as long as the parent has the capacity to maintain that (ie, until final stages of life). She has taught me about how a loving and supportive partnership with a spouse strengthens the healthy flow of care to children—no matter their ages. She has taught me that my own personal therapy, internal work, and community of close friends all support me as I grow a better understanding of my past, my emotions and reactions/responses, and that maintaining that work and support will continue to strengthen a healthy foundation of loving connection with my children. Again, I wish I would have found Hilary years ago, but I am so grateful to move forward with her guidance for helping our family heal and be whole.”
LET’S WORK TOGETHER
Private Coaching
Whether you come alone or together, this is where emotional repair begins.
Through private, personalized guidance, you’ll learn to see your relationship with new eyes - not through blame or old stories, but through understanding what’s truly been driving the distance. Together, we’ll uncover the hidden patterns that have kept you apart and build the tools to return to each other with compassion, clarity and leadership.
This process is designed for mothers and daughters of all ages. You’ll experience immediate shifts in how you relate, respond, and reconnect - both within yourself and with each other.
For three months, you’ll have my full attention and support through a series of private sessions - individual and joint - where we’ll gently peel back the layers, heal what’s hurting, and begin paving a new path forward.
This work changes more than a relationship. It transforms the emotional legacy you pass down.
