Supporting kids inevitably means learning and growing alongside them. When challenging behaviors surface, it’s easy to feel lost or frustrated.
Traditional approaches often focus on ‘fixing’ behavior, but lasting change comes from understanding the needs beneath it. Defiance, emotional outbursts, social withdrawal—these aren’t 'bad behaviors': they’re signals communicating that a child needs support.
Shifting from reaction to compassion lays the foundation for understanding a child’s underlying struggles. Kids feel safer, power struggles decrease, and trust and understanding grow.

Rewrite the ADHD narrative so your child sees their potential, not just the obstacles
Parenting is full of moments that fill us up—and moments that stretch us in ways we never expected. Some days we feel confident, while others bring uncertainty—especially when big emotions, daily transitions, and the push-pull of connection and boundaries come into play.
With insights from neuroscience, psychology, and child development, I tailor support to help parents and educators move from frustration to understanding and power struggles to increased collaboration.

As a certified coach specializing in conscious parenting and working with caregivers supporting children with ADHD, my mission is simple: to help you bring more calm, connection, and skill-building into your home or learning environment.
Grounded in the belief that behavior is communication, I help parents and educators modify their approach—cultivating curiosity and connection over traditional discipline and shame. With this mindset, we create relationships where children feel safe to grow and parents feel empowered to guide them.
Raising and educating kids goes beyond setting expectations—it’s about guiding them in handling all emotions. As their brains develop, the way we manage our emotions in everyday life plays a key role in helping them build these skills.
Did you know that taking care of your own emotional well-being is one of the best ways to support a child’s emotional growth? Through proven strategies, I help parents and educators guide kids toward greater emotional literacy and self-confidence, while also supporting them in strengthening their own emotional foundation.
When you book a call with me,
we’ll have a conversation about what’s coming up for you—whether you’re a parent or educator. I’ll listen, offer insights, and share how I can best support you.
I’ll walk you through my approach and the different options for working together. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and explore which type of support aligns best with your needs and schedule.
If it feels like the right fit, we can schedule our first session and get started. If not, I'll do my best to provide alternative resources/suggestions for support. This is simply a chance to connect and determine if we want to move forward with additional sessions.
