Hope to see you at my book launch on Saturday!!

What if the key to better parenting isn’t changing your child—but understanding yourself?

The Aligned Parent offers a fresh, insightful approach to parenting that begins with self-awareness. Grounded in the Enneagram personality framework, this book helps you identify the core motivations behind your parenting style—so you can show up with more clarity, compassion, and confidence in everyday life.

Whether you're navigating power struggles, communication breakdowns, or the pressure to "get it right," this guide provides practical tools to help you parent from a place of alignment—rooted in your values, not perfection.

Written by a therapist and mother of two (one with special needs), The Aligned Parent doesn’t pretend parenting is easy. It meets you in the real, messy, beautiful work of showing up—for your kids and yourself.

Inside, you’ll discover:

How your Enneagram type shapes your parenting patterns—for better or worse

Actionable strategies to regulate your reactions and respond with intention

Tips for building connection without losing yourself

A framework for parenting that honors both individuality and growth—for you and your child

This is not a one-size-fits-all parenting book.
It’s a guide to doing the work that fits you.
