Why I Love What I Do
I believe parenting should be a journey of connection, not constant conflict. But I also know how exhausting it can be when daily struggles overshadow the joy of raising your child. For me, this work began decades ago, volunteering in South Africa with children who faced immense challenges. I saw how emotional connection, safety, and understanding could transform a child’s confidence—and I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to helping families experience that transformation.

My Approach
I use the Awareness Integration Theory (AIT) to help parents gain insight into how their thoughts, feelings, and actions influence their children—and how small, intentional shifts can create big changes. Combined with emotional intelligence tools, play-based strategies, and a compassionate understanding of child development, this approach empowers both you and your child to thrive.
