Where My Journey Began

I have been an educator for over two decades. One of my favorite parts of teaching was the connection I made with my students and their families. Over the years I have learned about the needs and concerns of parents, which inspired me to become a parent coach and dedicate all of my energy into supporting parents. Parents today, myself included, are navigating incredibly challenging times. I know that with the right support all parents can make transformational changes that can bring connection, confidence, ease and joy back to your parenting.

I have a MA/PhD in Education from the Gevirtz School of Education at UC Santa Barbara and I have received Parent Coach Certification® from the Parent Coaching Institute

I live in Oakland, California with my family and my dog Jax. I love the beach, the mountains and doing anything sweaty in the outdoors.
