My Mission is to help kids grow up being allowed to be kids while developing the skills they need to grow and thrive so they can be successful now and in the future.

The best way to help kids is to Empower Parents to navigate the unknowns of parenting with Calm and Confidence

and find the Joy and Satisfaction along the way.

That is why I created my ProActive Parenting Program .

Despite being in the driver's seat, parents are not taught how to drive the parenting car. With over 20 years of experience in the fields of Child Development, Psychology and Therapy & Counseling, not only have I have learned how, but I can give you the keys so you can too. Becoming a Conscious Parent provided me with the map I needed to navigate my own parenting path as well as support other parents on theirs.

Kids are not little adults, nor are they blank slates to fill. They come into this world with everything they need. They are unique individuals and authentic. Our role is not to control them but to lead and guide them on the path of their lives. Being a parent is the most important and profound relationship you will ever have. Most of us are less than prepared for it and are trying to figure it out as we go. The world changes so quickly and we are judged at every turn. This makes it so hard to remain calm and confident when we aren't sure what to do. Parents want to feel good about parenting and many just feel overwhelmed, stressed, and defeated. It doesn't have to be that way.

You are not alone.

My love of kids started as an Early Childhood Educator/ Preschool Teacher and then I became a Child & Family Therapist to help kids who were struggling. For the last 24 years, I have specialized in work with kids' meltdowns/ difficult to manage behaviors and helping parents /adults learn how to understand and support these kids at home & in school. I discovered that parents needed just as much, if not more, support & help as their kids do. And by helping and supporting parents & teachers to get what they need, I can help more kids get what they need to grow, thrive, and be successful now and in the future.

Becoming a mom myself was a life changing experience. After having worked so well with so many kids for so long, I thought it would be "cake".

I thought I had everything covered.

Boy was I wrong!

Everything I did well at work , either didn't work at home, or I couldn't use it. When parenthood was not how I expected it to be, I questioned everything about myself. It led me on a path of discovery that parenting was NOT about my kids,..... it is about me. My eyes were opened as I became

a conscious parent. It was the missing piece of the puzzle, and everything I was going through began to made sense.
