Parenting is the hardest job you will ever have! As a mother myself, I can relate to other parents who are facing challenges during the different stages of childhood development. I come alongside parents to encourage and support them in the hardest and most rewarding work they will ever do in life. While working through parenting challenges, I often find that clients need to learn balance and self-care to present their best self to their family members.

As a parent of 3 children I am a forever learning to navigate the joys of parenthood. I have a love for equipping parents using strategies and techniques such as Love and Logic. While teaching parents skills and tools to add to their parenting toolbox, I often find myself learning from their examples and experience. It takes a village to raise our children. Let's work together to help you find the confidence and support you need to raise confident, successful children.
Seeing your child struggle can be one of the hardest things to endure as a parent. I look forward to helping you and your child find new solutions as well as a new happiness and hope for the future. I help families navigate these complicated issues and I invite you to schedule your 30 minutes free consult for us to meet.
I have training and experience teaching parenting skills in class and group settings. I have also successfully raised several children myself and am a huge advocate of training parents and children to respect and honor each other and to work together for harmony in the household.
Gifted kids have special needs. Here are some of the things that Talented and Gifted children have told us they need help with. They need to:
“...get my teachers to listen to me about being bored.”
“...not get so stressed out about every thing.”
“...find out how to get out of doing busy-work.”
“...know what to do when I get teased for being smart.”
“...convince my mom that I don’t always have to get A+ .”
“...know how to get out of work I miss because of T & G class.”
“...deal with frustration when I already know the subject.”
“...know what to tell my parents when I bomb a test.”
“...know how to get along better with kids who aren’t T & G.”
“...quit acting dumb to get other kids to like me.”
“...not feel embarrassed when kids say, ‘What’s Target Class?’”
“...know how to get along like a regular person.”
“...know what to say when I make a mistake.”
