About This coach

I am a Colorado native. My husband and I have 3 children who are now grown. We have 4 amazing grandkids! We are blessed to be close to all of our children and to be involved in the lives of our grandkids on a daily basis. Each of our 3 children is neurodiverse and unique in their own way. This has given me a clear perspective and experience on things such as ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder, anxiety, and eating disorders. Each of these can put a strain on a family!

I decided to pursue a career as a parenting coach when I saw how many parents so desperately wanted to have a good relationship with their kids, but were instead barely surviving. I wanted to use what I had learned on my parenting journey to help parents not just survive but thrive!

I was able to spend many years as a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling my kids. What a blessing that was! Prior to that, I was a 6th-grade teacher and had the opportunity to pour into not only my students but their families as well.

One of my greatest accomplishments is the relationship I have not only with my children and grandchildren, but also the relationship they have with each other. I love seeing them hang out and laugh with each other. I had amazing support while raising my kids, and my goal is to be that support for other parents.

What Makes THEM Special?

My extensive experience as a parent, a grandparent, and a former teacher gives me insight into a variety of family dynamics. One of my biggest insights I have learned over the years is simply this: There is no cookie-cutter approach to parenting! Every child is unique and has a unique perspective on their environment. Understanding this uniqueness can have a vital impact on the connection between parent and child.

I am an empathetic and compassionate coach who will work to help my clients bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be. Identifying family and parenting goals is an essential part of my work with clients. Part of this work includes assisting clients in coming to a better understanding of child development and how it can impact behavior.

My years of working with and parenting neurodiverse children have made me keenly aware of the support parents need on this journey. I give my clients the time and safe space they need to get to know their children in a new and exciting way. I help them get curious about how their children see the world, so in the end, they have built a strong, secure, and loving attachment.
