MISSION
With compassion, commitment, and the expertise of an educator, I empower parents with powerful and practical tools so you can be the parents you want to be.

ABOUT ME
You'd think that having a BA in psychology, a Masters Degree in Education, 3 teaching credentials and almost 10 years as a teacher would have been more than enough training when I became a parent for the 1st time.
Well, haha, the joke was on me. I was shocked at how hard it was to be a parent.
​
I did rely on my education and experience to ease the transition to parenthood, but no amount of study prepared me for the jolt I felt the first time my amazing child told me, "No!"
​
So I get it.
We parents are intelligent, educated adults. How is it that we run companies, departments & households, and get blindsided by a child?
​
The truth is our kids can be tough contenders for our patience and undermine our confidence as being competent adults.
I am here to tell you,
you can do this. You have the edge as The Parent and I help you find it.
MY APPROACH
Expertise + Compassion = Success
Families come in many forms and structures. Parents have diverse priorities and hold distinct values. That is why a comprehensive understanding of each family is required to determine the strategies that best meet your needs and desires. I do this by developing a customized action plan through in-person visits, video conferencing, and phone consultations.
​
Raising children is emotional. My focus is with you, the parents, guardians, grandparents, and caregivers of the complex children in your charge. By observing and asking questions, I can see situations right as they are happening, that may be blocked to you by the emotion and tension of a particular circumstance. My job is to interpret what is happening and then set up a toolbox for you to use to create the family life you want.
