Welcome — I’m glad you’re here.
This is a space where I walk alongside parents as they navigate the real challenges of raising kids… from understanding developmental stages and typical vs. atypical behavior, to addressing mental health needs, school struggles, or social pressures.

Parenting comes with big questions : how to handle tough behaviors, set healthy boundaries, talk about sensitive topics like sex, and help kids manage the world around them. My role is to guide you through these moments with practical tools, encouragement, and a reminder that you don’t have to do it alone.

I also know how overwhelming parenting can feel, especially when your child is facing challenges with health, school, or society. That’s why self-care is a core part of my work. Stressed, overloaded parents need space to breathe and reset,  because when you’re supported, you’re better able to support your child.

I’ve raised my kids here in Upstate New York. Now that they’re grown, I can look back with perspective on what shaped me most: their milestones, struggles, and joys. My lived experience, combined with years of peer support and advocacy, gives me a unique way to connect with families who want both guidance and compassion.

If you’re a parent, grandparent, or caregiver looking for support with your child’s needs (or your own ) you’ve found a safe place to start.
