“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.

I can’t wait to go back to this sacred land. 🌳🏞️

Join us for a beautiful weekend at Sky Meadow Retreat Center in rural Vermont where we’ll slow down together through somatic practices, time in nature, nourishing meals, meaningful conversation, and supportive sisterhood. 💪

I’ve found that giving myself time away like this allows me to return home as a better human in every area of my life. When I reconnect with my body and the natural world AND participate in a gathering of women, I come back more present and whole: as a mother, partner, friend, and in my work. 🕊️

If your heart has been craving space to breathe and reset, this weekend could be just what you need. 💛

📅 June 11th–14th, 2026
📍 Sky Meadow Retreat Center, Stannard, Vermont

☕ A few quiet minutes with my tea this morning reminded me how supportive it can be to slow down before the day begins. 💛

Mindfulness is simply awareness of what is happening in the present moment. When we bring our attention to our breath, our body, or even something as simple as a warm cup in our hands, it helps signal safety to the nervous system.

🌿 Wishing you all a gentle and grounded day. Namaste.

🌿 Pura Vida, my friends! I’m currently in Costa Rica with a beautiful group of women for our Root to Rise: EmpowerHER Wellness Retreat, and the gratitude in my heart feels hard to put into words.

Wherever you are this week, I hope you find a few moments to step outside, take a deep breath, feel your feet on the ground, and let this beautiful, natural world hold you. The Earth is always here for us when we need support.

💛 Wishing you all a week of peace and presence.

As parents we share a similar wish: that our children grow into capable, compassionate, grounded human beings.

Walking alongside families as these qualities develop is one of the greatest privileges of my work. 💛

02/22/2026

I recently completed my Integrative Somatic Practitioner training, and my heart feels so full! 💛

Learning new ways to support healing has brought a deeper sense of calm to my own nervous system. I’m honored to bring these practices into the work I share with you all.

Stay tuned, friends. More to come!

My friends! 💛 Learning to notice what’s happening in your body before you reach the point of irritability, exhaustion, or overwhelm is one of the most powerful ways to support your nervous system.

Practicing regular body check-ins may seem like a small habit, but they can have a huge impact on how you move through your day.

If you can, let this be your gentle reminder to pause for a moment and see what your body might be asking for right now.

💚 So much of what shapes a family are the ordinary patterns we repeat every day. Our kids are always studying us, watching how we treat each other, how we show care, or how we return after difficult moments.

😌 It makes me more mindful of the energy I bring into our home, knowing that what feels small to me is often what sticks with them. I invite you to reflect on the little habits your kids might be picking up too, especially the ones you didn’t even realize you were teaching.

Oh! And Happy Valentine's Day, friends. 💗

So many of us pour so much love and energy into everyone around us. This class is a chance to give a little of that care back to yourself, slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect with your body in a supportive space. 💛

If you’ve been craving time to move, reset, and simply be, we’d love to have you with us!

🌿 Family life has its own rhythm, and much like the seasons around us, it naturally shifts and changes pace. Some weeks are jam-packed and busy, while others feel slower and a little more spacious.

🤍 Mindfulness is an important practice to me, but what that looks like changes too. Maybe I can’t go for a run, but I can take a few intentional breaths. Maybe I can’t read a whole chapter, but I can glance at a few pages. Routines are important, but so is flexibility, and I’ve stopped expecting our days to run the same way all year long.

🌊My older daughter recently told me my nickname would be Cheetah, because I am always rushing around. This hit me like a tidal wave🤦🏻‍♀️ kids are mirrors, and they certainly keep us honest and grounded to what is actually happening, not what we hope to happen.

🐢I thought I was already moving mindfully as a mom. And while I know part of this reflection on her part is coming off of the heels of multiple conversations about feeling rushed when we actually do need to go somewhere…. And she and her sister get distracted when they are supposed to be getting ready. I also know that I can do even more to shift my response to their experience. Because I don’t want to be a cheetah mom. I want to be a wise tortoise mom.
