From early in her life, Lorraine developed a deep sensitivity to children’s emotional experiences. Her  natural ability to relate to children and understand how they Think, Feel, and Behave led her to working with them professionally.

Later, becoming a parent herself expanded her understanding of the immense challenges parents face-  even parents who are educated in Child Development and work with them!

This combination of professional training and personal experience shaped the approach she uses today.

Lorraine believes that Children do well when they Can. When adults understand the emotional and developmental challenges beneath behavior, they are far better able to guide children toward growth, cooperation, and confidence. 

Lorraine  is dedicated to creating  environments where children are allowed to be children and have what they need to grow up with the skills  to prevent the increasing mental health difficulties so many of our kids are facing today.
