I have always been drawn to helping others and have worked with kids who struggle in both the Mental Health and Education fields for over twenty years. As time passed, I observed children's behaviors continue to escalate and realized I was being called to walk a different path. I wanted to support and teach parents a new way of interacting with their kids that would help them with emotional regulation and cooperation.

Enter Parent Coaching, I hold a master’s degree in Counseling, and believed adding a coaching certification would be the perfect fit. I now invite parents to begin to see their children's behaviors through an alternate lens, because there is always more going on than the behavior we are witnessing. Through supporting and teaching, my goal is to help caretakers understand what the real struggle is for their children. Only then can we find tools to help them meet their needs.

In addition to my professional experience, I am also a mom of three daughters, so I. GET. IT. Parenting is wonderful, rewarding, and unbelievably challenging.

I also believe it is the most important job we will ever have. In addition to carrying on our legacy, our children will be the future leaders, caregivers, innovators, and activists of our world. To set our children up to be resilient and responsible citizens, we need to teach them how to show empathy for others, especially those who have different beliefs, how to solve conflicts respectfully, and most importantly, how to believe in themselves.

As your coach, I believe my role is to offer a different perspective on your child's behaviors, tools and ideas to try, and a supportive ear. All of these parts will empower you to show up as the parent you are striving to be. I know this firsthand, because I use all the tools with my own family too.
