While I am a hippy at heart, my Master’s Degree in Marital and Family Therapy, decades of experience working with thousands of families, endless nerdy self-study, and personal journey as a mother of three (with a mixed race, LGBTQ+, neurodiverse family) assure that this is not woo. A tremendous body of research supports what your intuition is whispering in your ear and the support I offer is just the help you need.
I come alongside overwhelmed parents and offer another way—parents like you who hear the call of "gentle, natural, simple," but have lost their way in the noise of unmet needs and mainstream advice. You'll heal, learn, and practice, shifting onto a path where you’ll feel at peace within yourself, consciously connected with your children, embraced by a supportive community, and enjoying a values-aligned life you love.
I spend my days cheering my kids’ sailboat races, painting the shiplap my husband installs antique white, reading non-fiction books in the hammock, and eating queso and guac with friends, all while inciting a peaceful motherhood revolution.
