“Kids do well if they can.” - Ross Greene

I believe in this mantra with every fiber of my being. If a kid is not doing well, it is because they lack the skills needed to tackle whatever obstacle it is they are trying to overcome. I am passionate about building relationships as the foundation to cultivate a safe space of authentic learning to occur. Within this safe space, kids are able to quiet the distractions of life and connect to their hearts and minds, explore new ways of being, and feel empowered to make change. I have a Master of Science and Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in School Psychology. I am also a certified Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction for Teens Trainer and Yoga Teacher. I have experience working with young people with a range of challenges including learning differences, mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression, substance use challenges, self-harm behaviors, executive functioning challenges that arise from disorders such as ADHD and Autism, as well as those looking to develop more positive coping skills to navigate the stress they encounter in life. I am well versed in psychoeducational assessments and evaluations, as well as the laws and regulations public education settings are required to follow. It is critical to me that every single student is afforded an equitable opportunity for learning, while being treated with kindness and dignity. I strive to be culturally sensitive & operate from a person-first perspective. I am solution-focused and holistic in my approach when working with my clients. I operate from a wellness-based perspective, and enjoy connecting with people outside as much as possible. Please reach out if you think you or your child may benefit from working with me. I am happy to answer any questions you may have, as well as have a free, initial consultation to see if we are a good match. In the meantime, I wish you peace and joy in this very moment.

💛 We often think of parenting as shaping our children into who they are meant to be, but what we rarely talk about is how much they shape us! They stretch our patience, expand our capacity for love, and uncover pieces of ourselves we did not know were there.

🌿 The questions they ask push us to look deeper. Their curiosity shows us how to see the world with fresh eyes. Their resilience challenges us to grow alongside them. As they grow into themselves, we continue to grow into who we are.

💬 What is one lesson parenting has taught you that you never saw coming?

🌿 A tree does not apologize for taking up space. A river does not rush to prove its worth. A flower does not bloom out of season because another is blooming sooner. Nature exists in its own rhythm, and in doing so, teaches us that we can too.

✨ When you forget what it means to be enough, step outside and notice the way the Earth carries itself. You may find that the wisdom you are searching for has been growing all around you.

🍂 Fall is a season of change, and it carries a lesson worth noticing. The leaves fall and the branches rest, but beneath the surface the roots continue to strengthen.

When the time is right, life asks us to release what we have outgrown. When we loosen our grip on old habits, heavy expectations, or the pressure to carry more than we need, we make room for something new to take shape. Change is not meant to be forced. It unfolds slowly, like the seasons, reminding us that rest and renewal are just as essential as effort.

✨ This season is a chance to notice what feels heavy, set down what no longer serves you, and trust that growth will return in its own time. Letting go means moving forward.

✨ At our retreats, I am reminded how powerful it is to step into a space where women set down the pressure to perform and allow themselves to simply be. To be seen. To be supported. To remember that their worth has always been theirs.

🌸 These weekends are about grounding, reconnecting, and creating space for renewal. Our Embodied Wellness Weekend For Wild-Hearted Women in Stannard, Vermont begins October 10th, and this is your last opportunity to join us!

😴 Children often resist rest, whether it’s bedtime, naps, or simply slowing down in the middle of a busy day. But here’s the truth I’ve always told everyone: our kids learn by watching us.

When they see us rushing from one task to the next, they start to believe that constant motion is the way life is meant to be lived. But when they see us stretch out with a book, sip tea in stillness, or pause for a few deep breaths, they receive a different message: rest is not only allowed, it is necessary.

✨ Modeling rest gives us as parents the reset we need, but it also shapes the culture of our homes. It teaches our children that slowing down is safe, important, and even something to be celebrated.

💬 Parents, what’s one way you model rest for your kids?

🧘‍♀️ Join me for another yoga session tomorrow, 9/30 at 6:30pm!

For almost 20 years, yoga has been my grounding tool, and what a privilege it is to be in this body doing yoga for that long! Through life’s many transitions and emotions, my mat and practice have always been my sacred spaces.

✨ The practice has shifted and evolved with each season of my life, and right now virtual classes are what best support my family. I’m so grateful for the chance to continue in this way, and I am also thankful for the opportunity to teach in the community once a month! After learning from so many incredible teachers, I’m honored to now share my love for the practice with a circle of wild-hearted women.
Join our next session!

📅 Tuesday, September 30th, at 6:30pm.

🐌✨ This month I chose what I like to call Sloth September. I gave myself permission to move a little slower, to linger in curiosity a little longer, and to invite wonder and ease into my days whenever I could.

It was not always effortless. Even with homeschooling, where you might imagine life has more flexibility, the choices and opportunities are endless. There are always classes to add, activities to join, and schedules to fill. But I kept reminding myself of what I wanted to create this September: space to slow down.

Sloth September became a gentle practice of choosing presence over pressure and softness over speed. It reminded me that the pace we move through life is often ours to shape. As the month comes to a close, I am carrying this lesson forward and holding onto the gift of slowing down. 🌿💛

☀️ Time outdoors has become a touchstone for me as a mom. Without the roles or responsibilities, I can tune in to how my body feels. Even five minutes to pause and ask myself what I need creates a little more space for what the day holds.

We all know the importance of self-care, yet it so often stays an idea instead of something we put into practice. Why? Because life is full and we are busy people. When I make an actual plan and carve out even ten minutes of my day for myself, it makes all the difference. There will never be a perfect time, only the time you create.

✨ What will you do today to make time for yourself?
