I love being a parent coach! I get to work with devoted parents every day who are making positive changes that reduce their stress and make them, and their children, happier.

Iíve had the good fortune of working with hundreds of children and families over the last 12 years as a parent coach, psychologist and family therapist. I have a deep bank of knowledge about what makes families strong and provides visible results. My greatest strength, according to parents who come to my classes or work with me privately, is that I provide parents with practical advice that they can use immediately.

Although currently working as a Parent Coach, I'm also a Licensed Psychologist with a Master's Degree in Psychology. I'm a certified graduate of the Mentor Coach Foundations Program and a member of the International Coaching Federation.

As a parent, I participated in Early Childhood Family Education classes, was an active member of a Mom's Club and organized a neighborhood play group for moms and kids to connect on a regular basis. I found these resources invaluable. I also gather information from down-to-earth resources such as "Parent" magazine and "Family Fun", so the information I share is easy to use.

Most importantly, I'm also a mother of two wonderful children, so I use these practices myself and understand the commitment that it takes to make a family strong.
