About This coach

I have been working with young people and families for over 20 years. Moving from teacher to child advocate to director and then school founder, I saw lots of great individuals getting stuck in moments of great struggle.

I see coaching as a type of first aid for family health. I know it's never too late to connect and never too late to repair. I believe everyone is doing their best and sometimes you need a little boost to get back to the best you're hoping for.



My approach includes elements of my pragmatic, funny, and emotional personality. I am wildly empathetic and am always able to find a pinch of humor in hard times.

I live in Michigan with my husband and two boys. In the winter, you can find us sledding and skiing. In the summer, you'll find us enjoying long sunsets on the shores of Lake Michigan or bouncing around the Midwest visiting family and friends.

What Makes THEM Special?

As a play-based educator since 2003, I've worked with students of all ages with a variety of backgrounds and abilities. I am passionate about helping families shift from unhealthy patterns into reset in order to live life to the fullest!



In much of my professional life, I have supported the trailblazers finding their own path. I work with young people and adults who identify as neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, unschoolers, and cycle breakers. I like working with those that others might find too challenging to work with. Toddlers and teens are my jam. Bring on all who have ever been called free-spirited, firecrackers, and strong-willed kids!
