Professional Summary
​With over 20 years of experience in education and parent training, I am dedicated to empowering parents and adults through personalized counseling that centers the unique values and needs of their family. Using a warm, strengths-based, and solutions-focused approach, I guide parents in developing strategies tailored to the specific needs of their child. I understand that every child learns differently, and my goal is to equip parents with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to navigate the challenges of parenting with confidence.
Raising children takes a village, and we all need a little help sometimes. That's where I come in! I firmly believe that every parent is doing their best with the resources and experiences available to them. In an average session, we will explore what's already working, as well as adjustments to the environment, routines, communication styles, and rituals of connection to foster positive outcomes. My aim in every session is for parents to leave with a growth mindset that will support them to meet the challenges and joys of parenting with a clear sense of direction and hope.
