About This coach

“Room with a View!”

What does that mean to me?

It means creating a welcoming, safe space where we can pause, look at things from a new perspective, and discover what is possible.

My background in Interior Design and more than 20 years working inside clients’ homes have given me a unique window into family life. I have learned that our environments, relationships, stories, and patterns all influence how we see ourselves and one another.

I don't believe parenting is about having all the answers. I believe it is about creating space to listen, notice, become curious, repair, and grow together.

“Parenthood!”

Parenthood has taught me that family life is layered, beautiful, complicated, and deeply connected to the generations that came before us.

For more than 20 years, I have worked inside clients’ homes, learning what family life really looks like behind closed doors. During the past three years, I have had the privilege of being part of multigenerational families five days a week.

I have witnessed firsthand how family language, patterns, roles, and ways of relating can be carried forward through generations.

“Storytelling!”

Every family has a story.

Stories help us make meaning of our experiences. They also help us become curious about the stories our children are creating—and the stories we may have inherited ourselves.

I bring storytelling, nature, creativity, observation, and curiosity into my coaching as we build your personal parenting toolbox.

I love the metaphor of a garden:

What seeds have been planted in you?

What has taken root?

What do you want to nurture?

What seeds do you want to plant for the next generation?

My hope is to help families notice what is already growing, gently tend what needs attention, and create room for something new.

“I Bring the Arms of an Octopus!”

I bring attentive eyes and ears, an open heart, and many hands ready to hold the moment.

I bring warmth, encouragement, curiosity, and the quiet reminder:

You’ve got this.

My life with my parents, siblings, husband, and three adult children, along with working in more than 24 companies, has shaped my understanding of “Familyhood.”



I know that families are not static. They are living, changing systems—and every person in them matters.

Outside of this work, you'll find me wandering in the woods, near water, biking long distances, gardening, and being fully present for sunrises and sunsets.

What Makes THEM Special?

“I Notice the Little Things.”

A child's question.

A falling leaf.

A change in tone.

A moment of connection between parent and child.

These seemingly small moments can become doorways into deeper understanding.

I remember the day my son picked up a falling leaf and held it gently as he studied its color and shape with curiosity and awe.

Together, we wondered where it came from, noticed the trees around us, and shared the quiet beauty of that moment.

That experience stayed with me.

It reminded me that connection doesn't always require a big lesson or a perfect answer.

Sometimes it begins simply by slowing down, noticing, and being present together.

After years of being welcomed into families' homes, I have learned to pay attention to these small moments. They often tell us more than we realize.

The energy I bring to my work comes from these moments—and from every opportunity to be fully present with individuals and families.

I invite families to become curious about the seeds that have been planted in them, the seeds they are planting in their children, and what they want to grow together.

We cannot always choose what was planted before us.

But with awareness, patience, connection, and practice, we can begin to decide what we want to nurture for the generations that follow.



Every step I take leads me on the path I am on today—in celebration of all life!
