I teach parents how to bring peace and joy to the most challenging kids. Join me in learning simple yet powerful tools that feel like magic to transform your child and parenting, creating a more fulfilling life of true peace, real happiness, and strong connection. A student once described my style as "sunshine in the dark" which is exactly what I hope to be in your life too.

I love traveling, hiking, camping, and skiing as much as sitting in front of a warm fire and reading a book at home. I am equally thrilled to dance in my living room with my family and play pickleball with friends. I am passionate about learning everything I can about the brain and how to care for it. I deeply care for people, especially those living together as a family. It is a privilege to help relationships transform daily, moving from conflict and disconnection to joy and connection.
I have been a licensed counselor for 30 years, specializing in play therapy for kids and counseling teens and couples. I continue to counsel adults while creating educational experiences to reach more parents with “neuroscience magic” as a parenting consultant. Regulation, connection, and felt safety transformed my children and marriage in ways I never thought possible. I am passionate about bringing that same experience to anyone interested.
If you are at the end of your rope, desperate for positive change with your child(ren), and looking for a simple, lasting solution, you are in the right place!
I spend my time in Anchorage, Alaska with my husband, second-born (attending university here), and our cat, Pixel. I have two neurodivergent kiddos (adults now) who were my greatest teachers about unconditional love, repair, and parenting. Raised in Minnesota, then lived a few years in Washington (PNW), I now call Alaska my home.
