Awareness is already the first step toward change. In coaching, we look at your triggers with compassion and develop new responses that match your values, so you can build a different experience for your children or students.

Guilt shows you care. Coaching offers alternatives — language, pauses, and repair strategies — so instead of blame, you leave conflicts with stronger connection and less shame.
This tension is common. Coaching helps you find balance by learning when to set firm boundaries and when to lean into connection — so children feel both respected and guided.
Strong emotions in children are normal. Together, we explore regulation tools for you and your child, so those moments become manageable and even opportunities to build trust.
Coaching gives you space, tools, and support to move forward — in your family or your classroom.

My Coaching
Approach

Children have always been my passion.

My mission is to support the adults around them — because when parents and teachers feel steady, children thrive.

Nervous System First

Lasting change starts with the adult. When you learn to regulate your own nervous system, children feel safer — and cooperation follows.

Core principle

Parent With, Not Over

I don’t teach control through fear. I help you build relationships based on respect and guidance, where children feel heard and valued.

Philosophy

Tools You Can Use Today

This is not abstract theory. Each session gives you clear language, routines, and practices that work in everyday family or classroom life.
