About This coach

I thought I was a pretty good, loving parent until my second kiddo turned 18 months! He and his brother were my absolute world, but I didn’t have the emotional capacity or tools to co-regulate with him during his intense meltdowns, and instead found myself yelling at him and feeling terrible.


I started reading gentle parenting books, and eventually did a peaceful parenting course by Dr. Laura Markham. This, in addition to my own work in therapy and reading books on trauma, co-dependency, and boundaries, completely shifted how I approach life. I became passionate about living a peaceful existence and enjoying every day with our three beautiful kids, and realized I wanted to help other parents do the same! Going through the Jai coaching certification was the perfect next step, and their additional education and training in attachment and nervous system science have been life-giving.


While I have a background in classical piano and HR, coaching parents to find joy and peace in their parenting (and their lives overall) is my true passion! When I’m not doing one of these things, I love to go on hikes with my family, watch our kids play sports or dance, and spend unstructured time with them at home.

What Makes THEM Special?

I’m passionate about helping overwhelmed parents raise children who can turn toward them for safety, empathy, and co-regulation. Children who are free to be fully themselves in each developmental stage that they’re in.



I can help parents learn how to set boundaries, become aware of blind sports, and create a peaceful environment in their home!
