I have 30 years of research, education, experience, insights, healing and personal growth. I am an intuitive, empathic listener, and I have the ability to hear what's spoken (and not spoken) between the lines. 

I had to carve out a path to calm, connected parenting through some big challenges with my daughter (now age 26). Through my personal struggles and my journey of re-parenting myself, I gained a unique and deeper understanding of emotional struggles in families. I raised my daughter completely on my own under stressful circumstances. I was a single mom with no financial help and no family available. I had intense insomnia, chronic health issues, and I was stressed, worried and tired much of the time. I had to work through my own triggers and reactions to my daughter’s strong behavior. Through extensive study and deep personal healing, I learned how to stay calm and be in empathy with her, and how to turn our power struggles around.

I believe it’s tragic for a child to grow up not feeling absolutely positive about their value. I want every child to be seen, heard and understood by the people who they love the most. To grow up truly loving themselves and able to be present, loving and emotionally secure in all their relationships.

I love to work with moms to reduce the stress and overwhelm and help them stay centered, calm and happy and have a deeper relationship with their children.
