EXPERIENCE

As mother to two children, one of which has ADHD, autism, anxiety and trauma, I know firsthand the challenges parents face on both ends of the child rearing spectrum. I have been at the receiving end of destructive, hour long tantrums and have gone on quests for clothes that "feel right". I have had to help with self-harming and aggressive behaviors. After change did not come fast enough, I invested my time and energy in finding research-backed parenting solutions that worked. Since 2014 I've put that knowledge into practice, producing real results for my child and others.

EDUCATION

I graduated from St. Thomas University in St. Paul, MN in 2001 with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology - Criminal Justice. After having children, I wanted to switch careers to make a difference in the lives of parents like me and children like mine. Since 2010 I have continued my education through various courses in parenting education, trauma, Autism and ADHD, just to name a few. In 2020, I became a Certified Parent Coach after completing a 10-month Certification Program from Anu Family Services. I believe in lifelong learning and continue to expand my knowledge and skills through various courses and programs.
