About

As a parent or caregiver, you often experience feelings of uncertainty, isolation, and overwhelm. You want to parent from a calmer place, but struggle to manage your own emotions in response to certain triggering behaviors. Becoming a parent may have opened some of your own childhood wounds, and you want to break cycles that you grew up with, but there's no instruction manual for how. Perhaps you’re a step-parent navigating a complex family dynamic or a grandparent stepping into the parental role. Maybe you or your child are neurodivergent, and you're seeking ways for you both to feel better supported in an authentic, affirming way. With more than 15 years of experience, and with lived experience as both a parent and step-parent myself, I specialize in helping parents to better understand themselves and their children. I offer a collaborative approach, where together we can be curious about your parenting journey, strengths, and challenges in a warm, safe, and judgment-free space.
