About me
I truly love being a mom, and I want to help mothers find joy in their role too. Certainly, as a child, I had no idea what parenting would ask of me nor whether I would be up for the task. Little did I know that the challenges that motherhood brought me would require that I journey back to my own childhood to look through the lens of how I was parented in order to understand myself well enough to be the best parent that I could be. I care deeply about mothers, children and their wellbeing, which is why I work hard to make sure that my coaching nurtures the most precious and fragile kind of wellbeing: the emotional wellbeing of the whole family.
For more than 20 years, I have worked with children and families in a wide variety of educational, clinical and in-home settings. I have a BA from the University of Virginia, a Master of Special Education and Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis from George Mason University and I am an ACE certified Health and Wellness Coach. I am also a certified Parent Coach through the Jai Institute for Parenting from which I have developed my program curriculum. In addition, I am a certified Lifestyle Coach through the Emory Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University. I most recently earned my certification in grief coaching through a program in which I was privileged to learn from grief experts Claire Bidwell Smith and Hope Edelman. I specialize in how grief - particularly the loss of one's mother - can affect parenting. While I have extensive experience working directly with parents whose children have autism, ADHD and anxiety, my services are open to any and all parents who want to create a happier, healthier family life.

Certified Parent Coach, Jai Institute of Parenting
Years of experience: 7
The comprehensive, evidence-based certification I earned from the Jai Institute of Parenting allows me to address a wide variety of challenges that parents most often encounter. To be our best as parents, I wholeheartedly believe we need to address our own mental, emotional, and physical health first, so that we can do the same for our children. As your coach, I see you as not only a parent but as an individual with needs that go beyond your parenting. To address the complexity of all that you desire to feel your best, I can combine my parent coaching with targeted health coaching as well. Whether you want to gain more energy, lose some weight, sleep better or learn to better manage stress, I can help you get there with the guidance and support you seek.

Years of experience: 2
I work directly with moms who want to focus on their physical, mental and emotional health as they seek to feel better overall. In one-on-one sessions, we get to the root cause of their fatigue, concerns about weight gain, sleep challenges, stress resilience and exercise. I customize my plans based on what my clients deem most important to them and guide them on a journey toward better health and happiness.

Years of experience: 1
I am certified in grief coaching by Hope Edelman and Claire Bidwell Smith - two prominent leaders in the field of grief, seasoned grief therapists and authors of Motherless Daughters and Rules of Inheritance respectfully. My training is specific to the experience of losing a mother - at any age - and I have incorporated this knowledge into my parent coaching to help moms who are grieving their mothers at all stages following their loss.
