About This coach

As an Early Childhood Educator for nearly a decade, my coaching style comes through the lens of being a co-teacher. I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients, as if we were in a meeting together, brainstorming solutions to a problem we are seeing in the classroom. And just like co-teaching relationships go, I also show up as a friend-- I want to be there for you in all the good, bad, and ugly. I want to hold space for all the feelings that come up, and offer my years of education and experience to guide you in the direction that feels authentic and true to you. Feeling comfortable, safe, and seen are foundational to my practice.

What Makes THEM Special?

My experience involves a deep understanding of ages 0-5. I understand and work with the Reggio Emilia philosophy. I have certification in the Jane Nelson Positive Discipline approach. My coaching approach blends practical tools with deep reflection—often drawing from the same compassionate strategies we use with children to help adults reparent themselves with curiosity and care.


My coaching support may include:

  • Partnership with parents looking for support and education as they go through the ups and downs of parenting
  • Guidance for early childhood educators navigating classroom dynamics, center structures, or burnout
  • Mentorship for those dreaming of launching their own care-based business
  • Support for anyone seeking to apply developmentally informed, relationship-based tools to their own inner work
  • Reflective dialogue around identity, values, and self-leadership
  • Resources and encouragement grounded in both experience and heart
