Founder of The Heart-Centered Parent

If you’re parenting a child with BIG emotions, anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, emotional outbursts, shutdowns, school struggles, or constant power struggles at home…you are not alone.

Many of the families I support are loving, deeply devoted parents raising children who are sensitive, strong-willed, emotionally overwhelmed, or struggling beneath the surface.

Their child may:

  • melt down after school

  • react strongly to correction

  • say things like “I suck”

  • shut down emotionally

  • struggle with anxiety or confidence

  • fight constantly with siblings

  • resist school, routines, or transitions

  • seem explosive one moment and deeply sensitive the next

And many parents feel exhausted trying to help.

Not because they are failing…but because most families were never taught how to understand the behavior beneath the behavior.

My mission is to help families move from chaos and disconnection toward calm, emotional safety, and connection.

As a Certified JAI Parent Coach, former educator, and heart-centered parent coach, I help parents understand what’s really happening underneath their child’s behavior so homes can feel calmer, more connected, and emotionally safe again.

Together, we work to:

  • reduce power struggles

  • support emotional regulation

  • strengthen parent-child connection

  • understand sensitive and strong-willed children

  • create calmer rhythms at home

  • help children feel safe, seen, and supported

Because behavior is communication. And children thrive when they feel emotionally safe and understood. You do not have to figure this out alone.

I would be honored to walk alongside your family.

When parents heal, families transform and generations change.

The Heart-Centered Parent is a movement for families who are ready to parent differently and to step out of fear, shame, and survival, and into connection, calm, and growth. I help parents slow down enough to see what’s happening beneath the behavior, so they can respond with clarity instead of reactivity and rebuild calm, connected homes from the inside out.
