How many times have you thought, "Oh my god, I sound just like my mother?" or "I told myself I would NEVER do this to my kids!" or better yet, "Holy sh*t, did I really just do that?"  Yup, that's called parenting!  It doesn't have to be and endless cycle of exhaustion.  Building more connected families is my goal.  This means families that have more laughter, joy, conversations, trust, empathy, and understanding.

​

I have spent most of my career working with families in all different stages of life.  I work along side families to understand their child's behaviors, help to identify what might be causing the behavior, and then learning what can be done instead.  

​

I work with families that are going through transitions like divorce, fostering & adoption, parent illness, traumas, deaths, and the million other things life throws at us. 

​

I am accredited in evidence-based parenting interventions through the Nurturing Parenting Program, Trust-Based Relational Interventions (TBRI), and Triple P (Positive Parenting Program). These programs all have a core principal of increased communication and understanding.  

​

Kids don't come with instruction manuals & we only  know to parent how our parents' parented (or didn't).  This is all tough!  No one has to parent in isolation or without support.
