Parenting &
Children's Social-Emotional
Many of us make our biggest mark on the world through our journey as parents. If you're like me, you strive to raise confident, self-aware, compassionate, and resilient human beings who are going to make a positive difference in the world.
For twenty years I have been acquiring and integrating what I consider to be some of the most powerful, evidence-based principles and practices for parenting and working with children. With my background as a Speech-Language Pathologist, my in-depth knowledge of cognitive and communication development and my extensive background with Nonviolent Communication and other tools for social-emotional development, I bring a unique set of skills and perspectives to my work with parents.
