Parent Support, Education, & Coaching
I work with thoughtful parents who want gentle parenting to work, but find they keep reverting to yelling and time outs...and they feel bad about it. I help them see things in a different light, transforming that guilt into calm confidence.
With over 30 years of teaching and my own experience as a mom of twins, I walk parents through a step by step framework that helps them see what's going on under the surface, connect with their child, and become the amazing parent their child deserves.
